How To use Rice Cooker

1) Add the rice to the rice cooker pot. Read the directions on the rice package, and measure rice according to
these instructions. Use a regular measuring cup for this step, since rice cookers sometimes come with non-
standard measuring devices.
2) Add the amount of water specified on the rice package. Be careful not to fill the cooker beyond the overfill
line.
3) Put the rice cooker pot into the cooker unit, and cover the pot with the lid. Most cookers come with a tight-
fitting lid, but if your lid is too loose, consider adding a layer of aluminum foil.
4) Plug in the cooker and push the button to start cooking rice. If your cooker has a timer, you may choose to
have the rice cook at a later point in the day. Some higher-end units include a warmer, which will help the
rice stay warm after it has finished cooking. While the rice is cooking, refrain from lifting the lid to check
on it.
5) When the rice is done, the cooker will beep or make a clicking sound.
