Operating Instructions
Cooking Rice and Grains
- Measure Rice: Use the provided measuring cup to measure the desired amount of rice or grains.
- Wash Rice: Place the measured rice into the colander. Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

- Add Water: Transfer the washed rice from the colander into the main cooking pot. Add the appropriate amount of water according to the rice type and desired consistency. A general ratio for white rice is 1 cup of rice to 1.5-2 cups of water. Refer to your rice packaging for specific instructions.
- Secure Lid: Place the lid securely on the main cooking pot. The lid is designed to trap steam and ensure even cooking.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the covered pot into your microwave oven. Cook on high power according to the following general guidelines (adjust based on your microwave's wattage and rice type):
- White Rice: Approximately 10-15 minutes for 1 cup of rice.
- Brown Rice: Approximately 20-25 minutes for 1 cup of rice.
- Resting Time: After cooking, let the rice stand in the microwave for 5-10 minutes with the lid on. This allows the steam to finish cooking the rice and makes it fluffier.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rice is too hard or undercooked. | Insufficient water, too short cooking time, or microwave power too low. | Add a little more water and microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes. Ensure adequate resting time after cooking. Check your microwave's power setting. |
| Rice is too soft or mushy. | Too much water or too long cooking time. | Reduce water slightly for future batches. Shorten cooking time by 1-2 minutes. |
| Water boils over in the microwave. | Too much water, pot overfilled, or microwave power too high. | Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum fill line. Reduce water amount. Try reducing microwave power or cooking time. |
| Rice sticks to the bottom of the pot. | Not enough water, or rice not fluffed immediately after resting. | Increase water slightly. Fluff rice with the paddle as soon as the resting period is complete. |
