HELPFUL HIN\bS AND \bIPS
RICE TIP\b
• When measuring unc\f\fked rice; d\f n\ft use a standard 1 cup (8 fluid \fz.)  measuring cup. A standard rice cup is 2 /3 cup (5 fluid \fz.); the same size as 
the pr\fvided rice measuring cup. One 2 /3 cup (5 fluid \fz.) \ff dr\b rice will 
\bield appr\fximatel\b 1 cup (8 fluid \fz.) \ff c\f\fked rice. 
• Rinse the rice with water t\f rem\fve an\b excess starch and then drain.
• H\fw t\f use the water markings
  -  Sc\f\fp in the desired am\funt \ff rice int\f the c\f\fking b\fwl using the 
pr\fvided rice measuring cup. 
  -  Fill the c\f\fking b\fwl with water t\f the c\frresp\fnding water marking, i.e. 
f\fr 1 rice cup, fill t\f the 1 cup water marking, etc. 
• T\f reduce f\faming, add a small am\funt \ff butter \fr \fil t\f the water  bef\fre c\f\fking.
• K\fsher salt has n\f impurities and diss\flves faster than table salt. If using  k\fsher salt, \b\fu ma\b find \b\fu want t\f add a little m\fre than if using table 
salt. Ab\fut ¾ tsp. \ff k\fsher salt is rec\fmmended f\fr each rice cup (5 fluid 
\fz.) \ff unc\f\fked rice. 
• White rice can be st\fred in an airtight c\fntainer in a c\f\fl dark place f\fr  up t\f \fne \bear.
• Br\fwn rice can be st\fred in an airtight c\fntainer in a c\f\fl dark place f\fr  up t\f six m\fnths. Refrigerati\fn \fr freezing extends its shelf life.
