Aroma ARC-790SD-1NG - Manual (Page 16)

Safety Considerations:
1) Rice cookers cook at very high temperatures and will produce large
amounts of steam. Use extreme caution when opening the rice
cooker during and after the cooking cycle. When removing the
tempered glass lid, keep hands and face away from the rice cooker
to avoid escaping steam.
2) If a recipe calls for the sautéeing of butter or oil, use extreme caution,
as you would when cooking with other high-temperature devices like
a stove or oven. The inner cooking pot will be hot, so use a
long-handled wooden spoon for stirring. DO NOT USE the
short-handled serving spatula included with the rice cooker for this
type of cooking.
3) It is important to remember that the cooking cycle of the rice cooker
is controlled by the temperature of the inner cooking pot. When liquid
boils off, the temperature will rise, causing the rice cooker to
automatically shift into the low temperature “Keep-Warm” mode. This
is fine for making rice dishes but if a recipe calls for steaming or
making soups, where copious quantities of liquid are used, the rice
cooker will not shut off until all liquid is boiled away. Follow the recipe
carefully and do not leave the rice cooker unattended as it will
continue to cook at high temperatures when making soups, stews,
chilis and steaming. Monitor the cooking process. MANUALLY TURN
OFF the rice cooker when the time that the recipe stipulates has
elapsed.
• Spraying the inner cooking pot with a light coating of nonstick cooking
spray is a great way to make cleanup easier without adding flavor or
calories to your meal.
• When a recipe calls for salt, use kosher salt. It has no impurities or
additives and dissolves easily. You will need to use about one an
half times more kosher salt than you would table salt.
• If the rice cooker shuts off before the food is totally cooked, add more
water and start the cooking cycle again.
• Stocks and broths can be used in place of water to add flavor and
improve texture when cooking rice. Stocks and broths can be found in
your local supermarket. Another option is to use bouillon cubes (they
come in a wide variety of flavors). One cube and one cup of water
usually makes one cup of stock.
