USER TIPS FOR THE PRINCESS RICE COOKER
Boiling rice
To boil rice place the inner pan inside the outer pan; cover the pan with the transparent lid while cooking.
Before you begin it is important to be aware of what sort of rice you will be cooking. Generally speaking,
there are 2 sorts of rice, i.e.
- White rice;
- Brown rice (unpolished rice).
There are different varieties of both sorts of rice, such as long grain rice, round grain rice, broken rice,
Surinamese rice, wild rice, Basmati rice, Pandan rice. For the purposes of preparing the rice, though, this
is not important.
What is important, is that rice is available as:
1. Normal rice; i.e. untreated rice
2. Precooked or preboiled rice.
The latter sort, the precooked or preboiled rice, is often sold as 'quick boiling rice', 'magic rice', etc.
To get good quality rice, the ratio of rice to water is important.
1. Preparing normal rice (unpolished rice and white rice, not precooked)
- Measuring the rice
Use the measuring cup provided to determine how much rice to use. The measuring cup contains 100
grammes of rice when full. This is an average portion per person. Put the desired quantity of rice into
the inner pan.
- Measuring the water:
Then put the water into the inner pan. Again, use the measuring cup provided. The measuring cup
contains 175 ml water when full.
The table below shows the correct ratios and the resulting volume of boiled rice.
