Functions BEFORE FIRST USE Remove all promotional labels and any packaging materials from the rice cooker. Ensure that you have all parts and accessories listed before discarding the packaging. Wash the cooking bowl, lid seal assembly, steaming basket, measuring cup, serving spoon and serving ladle in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
COOKING RICE (USING THE WHITE RICE - BROWN RICE - STICKY/SUSHI RICE - FAST COOK FUNCTIONS) 1. Use the measuring cup, provided to measure the required quantities of rice. When using the cup always ensure to measure a level cup, not heaped (Fig 1.). Fig. 1 2. Wash the rice by placing it in a sieve under cold running water. This will remove any excess starch. The rice is ready when the water runs clear from the sieve. Drain the rice well before cooking. 3.
11. Any remaining rice can remain in the rice cooker on KEEP WARM, or alternatively, turn the rice cooker off by pressing the CANCEL button. Turn the rice cooker off at the power outlet and remove the plug. NOTE The rice cooker can be left on KEEP WARM for up to 24 hours, but for optimal quality, it should only be left for 5 – 8 hours. USING THE STEAM FUNCTION Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value.
USING THE CAKE FUNCTION USING THE KEEP WARM FUNCTION The cake function is similar to the rice cooking functions. The fuzzy logic technology will determine the required cooking for the cake based on the temperature of the mixture in the bowl. 1. Place all combined ingredients into the removable cooking bowl, ensuring an even distribution over the base of the bowl and select the CAKE function. 2. Once complete, use heat-proof mitts to remove the cooking bowl. Turn the bowl upside down to remove the cake.
Rice Cooking Guide The measuring cup provided with the Smart Rice Box is used in the following cooking tables. The measuring cup is approximately 150g of rice or 180ml of water.
SUSHI RICE INGREDIENTS 4 cups medium grain white rice 6 cups water 4 tablespoons rice vinegar 4 tsp caster sugar ¾ tsp salt METHOD 1. Rinse the rice and place into the removable cooking bowl with the water. Close the lid, select the SUSHI / STICKY function and press the START button. 2. Place the rice vinegar, sugar and salt into a small bowl and stir until the sugar and salt is dissolved. 3. Once the cooking process has finished, open the lid and stir the rice vinegar mixture through the rice. 4.
Steaming Guide Steaming Vegetables: • • • • Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces. Vegetables should be a uniform size to ensure a more consistent cooking result. Fresh or frozen vegetables can be steamed, though frozen will take longer to cook. If steaming frozen vegetables, do not thaw before cooking. • Size and shape of vegetables and personal preference may call for adjustments to the advised cooking times. For softer vegetables, allow extra cooking time.
Steaming fish and seafood • Season fish with fresh herbs, onions, lemon etc. before cooking. • Ensure fish fillets are in a single layer in the basket and do not overlap. • Fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in colour. TYPE SUGGESTIONS AND TIPS COOKING TIME (APPROX) Steam until opaque and easy to flake. A cutlet is cooked when the centre bone is able to be easily removed.
Care & Cleaning Switch the rice cooker off at the power outlet and unplug the cord. WARNING Allow all parts of the rice cooker to cool before disassembling and cleaning. 4. Close the lid of the rice cooker and remove the steam vent from the lid. Place your fingers under the back edge of the vent and lever upwards, until the vent pops out (Fig 5.). Fig. 5 1. Ensure that all parts of the rice cooker have completely cooled before attempting to disassemble or clean the rice cooker. 2.
WARNING Do not wash any parts of the Smart Rice Box in the dishwasher. Dishwashers use harsher cleaning detergents and high water temperatures that could damage or distort parts of the rice cooker. WARNING Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or metal scouring pads to clean the removable cooking bowl, as they will damage the cooking surface. If rice or other food has cooked onto the removable cooking bowl, fill the bowl with hot, soapy water and leave to stand for 10 minutes before cleaning.
