RECIPES
For all recipes in this Instruction & Recipe Booklet,
use the included Rice Cooker Measure Cup to
measure the rice or grain. Use a standard liquid
measure cup (1 cup = 8 ounces = 16 tablespoons)
to measure all liquids. (This keeps your Rice Cooker
Measure Cup dry for measuring dry rice/grain.)
The Rice Cooker Measure Cup = ¾ cup standard
dry measure or 12 tablespoons. Only white rice can
be cooked to the maximum amount possible in the
Rice Cooker (4 Rice Cooker cups/8 Rice Cooker
cups). Do not cook more than the suggested
amounts of other rice on the cooking chart, as the
amount of liquid needed to cook larger amounts will
boil over.
