[RICE COOKING] [BRN]
[NORM or SCORCH]
[1.0–4.0] 70 min
1–4 rice cups (180–720 ml) plain brown rice
189–756 ml cold water (1 cup rice to 1.05 cups water)
Measure the amount of rice using the provided rice measuring cup and level it off to precisely measure.
Transfer the rice into a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl and fill with cold water. Lift the strainer when the bowl is full and discard the water. Place the strainer back in the bowl and refill with clean water. Rinse the rice well by rubbing against the mesh with the heel of your hand; discard water. Repeat this step.
Next, soak the rice in a bowl of clean water for about 6 hours. Discard the water and drain well; transfer the rinsed rice into the pot.
Use the provided water measuring cup to add the appropriate amount of water to the pot (exactly 189 ml of water for 1 rice cup).
Select [RICE COOKING] mode and [BRN] for the brown rice option. Next, select the desired rice finish: [NORM] (Normal) or [SCORCH] (Scorched). Lastly, select the amount of rice you are cooking from [1.0–4.0] rice cups. Press [START] to begin.
Once the rice is cooked, loosen it by cutting it into quarters and folding each quarter using a rice spatula before serving.
Freezing is the best way to store leftover rice without deteriorating its flavor and texture. Wrap the leftover rice in microwave-safe plastic wrap while it is still warm to prevent moisture loss. The flavor will continue to deteriorate even if wrapped, so be sure to freeze as soon as it cools.
When ready to eat, defrost the frozen rice in a microwave for about 2–3 minutes, keeping the wrap on during defrosting. A steamer can also be used for defrosting.
For rice cooking, the clock display refers to the completion time (time of day) instead of a countdown timer. Make sure the clock is set prior to using RICE COOKING mode.
The default cooking time is 70 minutes and does not include soaking time.
You can adjust the amount of water to change the firmness of the rice. For a softer texture, add 10–20% more water than specified.
There is no porridge option for brown rice.
