1 / If used without rinsing the rice, water generously overflows and the device and all of the work plan are to clean.
To remedy this, simply rinse the rice 3 or 4 times in a pan of cold water until the water runs almost clear.
You can also simply add 2 drops of oil into the cooking water for the same effect.
2 / The amount of water recommended for cooking different rice is much too large for my taste.
A volume of rice for 1 and1 / 2 volume of water is more than enough. For brown rice is 1 flight rice for 4 vol water
3 / The warm hold function: When your rice is cooked the device automatically switches to "stay warm" and for that it maintains an internal temperature of 65 ° (against 100 ° for cooking)> Rice therefore continues to cook gently and after a while the rice is toasted at the bottom of the pot and it is overcooked on top of the pot ... It is better always in the kitchen: eat when it's ready!
4 / If you make rice for sushi (1 flight japonica rice water + 1 flight) when cooking is completed and the unit goes into "stay warm": Turn off (switch on / off is handy for that) and let your 10mn rice in the appliance without lifting the lid. After these 10 minutes your rice is just perfect to prepare your sushi!
Considering these elements this device is very useful for success every time cooking his rice.
