How to Use a Rice Cooker

In Asian countries, rice is the staple of the diet, so it is no surprise that the automatic rice cooker originated in Japan in the 1950s. Since then, this appliance has become popular in the United States. Using this electric pot designed to boil water fast and then keep it warm is simpler than making rice on the stove, because you don't have to watch it. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Instructions

Cooking Rice

    1

    Determine the amount of rice needed-most recipes call for 2 parts water to 1 part rice. Use the plastic measure provided.

    2

    Spray the pot with cooking oil spray. If you don't, the rice will stick on the bottom and sides.

    3

    Rinse rice until water runs clear. This will wash off excess starch and give you fluffier rice. Put rice and water in the pot.

    4

    Put the pot into the base and cover with the lid.

    5

    Push down the switch to start cooking. The switch will automatically return to the "Keep warm" setting when the rice is done, usually in about 20 minutes.

Using the Steamer Basket

    6

    Pour 2 cups of water into the pot. This measurement is for a 3-cup rice cooker. Use more water if you have a larger rice cooker.

    7

    Set the pot into the base.

    8

    Put the food into steam basket and put steam basket in inner pot. Cover the pot and plug it in.

    9

    Push the switch down to start cooking.

    10

    Let steam for about 30 minutes for 2 cups of water. Unplug the pot when the cooking is finished.
