General tips:
  • Rice cookers will cook nice rice every time - nice and fluffy, instead of gluggy.
  • The rice absorbs all the nutrients from the water, so you don't waste anything.
  • Use a steamer tray above the rice to cook vegetables, eggs in their shells, fish, or bits of chicken. This method also saves energy, by making use of the heat of the steam before it escapes. Steaming food keeps it moist.
  • Make sure you clean the rice cooker thoroughly after each use, with a soft, damp cloth. Use hot water, washing up liquid and sponge to clean the bowl and the lid. Scouring powders and metal sponges are not recommended. If food sticks to the bottom of the bowl, soak it for a while before washing it. Dry the bowl carefully and do not immerse the appliance in water. Only pour water into the bowl.
  • You can slow-cook stews in a rice cooker by leaving it on "warm" for several hours.
  • Different types of rice require different amounts of water, so you may need to experiment a bit. Long-grain rice such as Basmati tend to require less water.
  • After cooking, stir the rice, then leave the cooked rice in the cooker for a few minutes, with the lid sealed, to allow moisture to become evenly distributed through the rice.   Kevin Solway (173)
