Using the Rice Cooker
INTRODUCTION
The Toshiba® Rice and Grain Cooker benefit from the use of Fuzzy Logic, a technology that senses moisture levels to accurately cook food. Cooking time and temperature are defined by the appliance. Our highly intelligent Rice and Grain Multicooker automatically adjust the heat and timing for perfect results every time.

IMPORTANT

• Do NOT place anything on or over the rice cooker lid, during use.
• Do NOT touch the steam vent during cooking.
• Do NOT place the interior cooking pot on a cooktop burner; the high temperature will warp the pot. The cooking pot is designed to be used only in the rice cooker.
• Do not use a pot or container other than the cooking pot (provided) in the rice cooker.
• Do not insert any foreign objects into the air vent or gaps at the bottom of the rice cooker.
• Do not season rice while it is being kept warm in the cooking pot. Seasonings left in contact with the interior of the cooking pot may damage the non-stick coating.
• Do not use metal cooking utensils. Metal utensils may scratch or damage the nonstick coating.

MEASURING RICE

IMPORTANT
The total amount of rice and water should NOT exceed the 6 cup MAX level marked inside the cooking pot.
NOTE
The Rice Measure is significantly smaller than the standard U.S. cup measure.

• To achieve the correct ratio of rice to water, use ONLY the Rice Measure (cup provided).
• Level the rice in the Rice Measure cup so that it is even with the top.
• For softer or firmer rice adjust the ratio of water to rice accordingly.
• If the rice requires rinsing before cooking, measure the rice before you rinse it, Follow the rinsing directions for that specific type of rice.

RINSING RICE
Some types of rice are rinse-free and other types require rinsing before use to remove excess starch which may make the rice sticky. Also, cooking rice with starchy water may result in the rice burning or being improperly cooked.
If the water should turn white or cloudy, when added to rinse-free rice, drain and replace the water before cooking. Many recipes recommend rinsing quickly so the rice does not absorb water prior to cooking.

To Rinse Rice Quickly:

1. Place a colander inside a larger bowl.

2. Place the rice in the colander and rinse under cool running water.
   Rinsing rice in hot water may prevent the rice from cooking properly.

3. Using your hand stir the rice around 3 to 4 times to separate the grains.

4. Continue to rinse until the water in the bowl is clear.

ADDING OTHER INGREDIENTS
If you wish to add other ingredients or seasonings to the rice, do so after adding the water.
The rice will not cook properly and be too firm if ingredients are added before the water.

COOKING RICE
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter.

2. Measure rice, and then rinse rice, if needed.

3. Add measured rice to the cooking pot.

4. Add water until it reaches the corresponding numbered Water Line marked on the interior of the cooking pot. For example, when cooking 3 measures of white rice, add water to the third line from the bottom of the pot.

5. Stir the rice into the water, so that each grain is immersed in the water.

6. Place the cooking pot into the rice cooker.

7. Rotate the pot two to three times to ensure solid contact between the bottom of the cooking pot and the heating plate.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

• Measure rice and water accurately.
• For added flavor, you may substitute meat stock or broth for the water and chopped fresh herbs can be stirred into the rice at the end of cooking before allowing to rest.
• Some varieties of rice should be rinsed before cooking. Enriched rice, commonly found in the U. S., is not rinsed to preserve the added nutrients. If rinsing rice before cooking, measure rice before rinsing and drain as much water as possible.
• After adding the rice and water to the cooking pot, spread it evenly over the bottom.
• Do not open the lid during cooking.
• Most types of rice will be slightly undercooked at the end of the cooking program. Allow the cooked rice to “rest” in the cooking pot for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the last bit of moisture.

DELAY COOKING
The Delay Timer can preset two different cooking completion times, Timer1 and Timer2.
IMPORTANT
To maintain the quality of the rice, it is recommended that you not set the delay timer for longer than 12 hours.
The current time must be accurate before setting the delay timer.

   • Each press of the Minute button increases the time in 10-minute increments.
   • Press and hold HOUR or MINUTE to fast forward.

5. Quickly press START to set the timer. The Delay Timer button will illuminate.
   To cancel Delay Timer, press CANCEL.

6. The cooking start time will be automatically adjusted so that the program will be completed at the present time.

REHEAT COOKED RICE
IMPORTANT
Rice must be at a warm temperature, above 130°F, to reheat. The cooker will not reheat cold rice.

1. Stir the rice being kept warm to break apart clumps.

2. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of water evenly over the rice.
   Adding water during reheating will keep the rice from drying out.

3. Press KEEP WARM/REHEAT until the light illuminates.

4. Press START. Reheating will start and the countdown will appear in the display.

5. When preheating is completed, three long beeps will sound.

6. Open the lid, and then stir the rice well before serving.

Food is best consumed within 5 hours after cooking, so that flavor and texture do not deteriorate.

STEAMING FOOD
The rice cooker may be used to steam food such as vegetables, meat or fish.
It takes approximately 35 minutes to cook a batch of white rice and approximately 5 to 20 minutes (depending on the type and quantity) to steam cleaned, cut vegetables.

1. Determine the time needed to steam the food. See Steaming Guide.
2. At the appropriate time, shown on the countdown timer, open the rice cooker.
3. Place the steamer basket with the cut vegetables arranged in a single layer onto the rim of the cooking pot.
4. Close the lid and continue cooking for the remaining time.
5. Remove food immediately after steaming to avoid overcooking.

NOTES

• Cooking times are approximate and will yield cooked but crisp/tender vegetables.

Add or decrease time if you prefer softer or crisper vegetables.

STEAMING GUIDE
NOTE
