Using the Rice Cooker

INTRODUCTION

The Comfee ® Rice Cooker provides 12 different digital cooking programs to cook a variety of meals. There are three rice programs that automatically adjust the time and cooking temperature for the type and amount of rice added for perfect results. Other cooking programs provide a suggested time that can be adjusted as needed.

IMPORTANT:

• Do NOT place anything on or over the rice cooker lid, during use.

• Do NOT touch the steam vent during cooking.

• Do NOT place the interior cooking pot on a cooktop burner; the high temperature will warp the pot. The cooking pot is designed to be used only in the rice cooker.

• Do not use a pot or container other than the cooking pot

(provided) in the rice cooker.

• Do not insert any foreign objects into the air vent or gaps at the bottom of the rice cooker.

• Do not use metal cooking utensils. Metal utensils may scratch or damage the non-stick coating.

11

MEASURING RICE

IMPORTANT: The total amount of rice and water should NOT exceed the 6 cup MAX level marked inside the cooking pot.

NOTE: The Rice Measure is significantly smaller than the standard U.S. cup measure.

• To achieve the correct ratio of rice to water, use ONLY the

Rice Measure (cup provided).

• Level the rice in the Rice Measure cup so that it is even with the top.

• For softer or firmer rice adjust the ratio of water to rice accordingly.

• If the rice requires rinsing before cooking, measure the rice before you rinse it, Follow the rinsing directions for that specific type of rice.

RINSING RICE

Some types of rice are rinse-free and other types require rinsing before use to remove excess starch which may make the rice sticky. Also, cooking rice with starchy water may result in the rice burning or being improperly cooked.

If the water should turn white or cloudy, when added to rinse-free rice, drain and replace the water before cooking.

Many recipes recommend rinsing quickly so the rice does not absorb water prior to cooking.

To Rinse Rice Quickly:

1.

Place a colander inside a larger bowl.

2.

Place the rice in the colander and rinse under cool running water.

NOTE : Rinsing rice in hot water may prevent the rice from cooking properly.

3.

Using your hand stir the rice around 3 to 4 times to separate the grains.

4.

Continue to rinse until the water in the bowl is clear.

ADDING OTHER INGREDIENTS

If you wish to add other ingredients or seasonings to the rice, do so after adding the water. The rice will not cook properly and be too firm if ingredients are added before the water.

COOKING RICE

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

• Measure rice and water accurately.

• For added flavor you may substitute meat stock or broth for the water and chopped fresh herbs can be stirred into the rice at the end of cooking before allowing to rest.

• Some varieties of rice should be rinsed before cooking.

Enriched rice, commonly found in the U.S., is not rinsed to preserve the added nutrients. If rinsing rice before cooking, measure rice before rinsing and drain as much water as possible.

• After adding the rice and water to the cooking pot, spread it evenly over the bottom.

• Do not open the lid during cooking.

Most types of rice will be slightly undercooked at the end of the cooking program. Allow the cooked rice to “rest” in the cooking pot for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the last bit of moisture.

18

DELAY COOKING

The Delay Timer delays the start of cooking programs except Pasta, Sauté and DIY. The start of the cooking process can be delayed for up to

24 hours.

IMPORTANT

• To maintain the quality of the rice, it is recommended that you not set the delay timer for longer than 12 hours.

1. Place the ingredients in the cooking pot, place the pot in the rice cooker and close the lid.

2. Select the desired cooking program.

3. Press the Delay Timer button. The Delay Timer display will illuminate and the first two digits (hours) will flash.

5. Press Time. The last two digits will flash (minutes).

6. Press the + and - buttons to set the desired number of minutes.

7. Press the ON/OFF/START button. The countdown timer will start and the cooking process will begin when the delay has finished.

STEAMING FOOD

In addition to the Steam program, food can be steamed during the rice cooking process. The rice cooker may be used to steam food such as vegetables, meat or fish.

It takes approximately 70 minutes to cook a batch of white rice and approximately 5 to 20 minutes (depending on the type and quantity) to steam cleaned, cut vegetables.

1. Determine the time needed to steam the food. See

Steaming Guide.

2. At the appropriate time open the rice cooker.

3. Place the steamer basket with the cut vegetables arranged in a single layer onto the rim of the cooking pot.

4. Close the lid and continue cooking for the remaining time.

5. Remove food immediately after steaming to avoid overcooking.

NOTES:

• If steaming meat or fish, first place foil on the bottom of the steamer basket to keep the meat juices from seeping into the rice.

• Vegetables should be cut to a size similar to that indicated in the following chart.

• Cooking times are approximate and will yield cooked but crisp/tender vegetables. Add or decrease time if you prefer softer or crisper vegetables.

NOTE: While steaming, monitor your meat’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure the meat you cook reaches a safe temperature.
