How to Use Zojirushi Rice Cooker: step-by-step

1. Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer.
2. Measure the rice and water.
3. Place the inner pot in the rice cooker.
4. Choose the desired cooking setting. (ie white rice, brown rice, sushi rice, or porridge)
5. Start the cooking process.
6. Wait for the rice cooker to do its work.
7. Serve and Enjoy

Step: 1 Rinse your rice

Before cooking your rice, rinse it in a fine-mesh strainer under running water. Rinse them until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch and any debris that may be present.

Step: 2 Measure the rice and water

Use the measuring cup with the Zojirushi rice cooker to measure the amount of rice. Then, add the appropriate amount of water according to the measuring lines on the inner cooking pan. The general rule of thumb is 1 cup of water (240 ml) for every 1 cup of rice (180 g). However, different types of rice require different amounts of water. Basmati rice uses less water than jasmine rice.

Step: 3 Place the inner pot

In the next step, put the inner cooking pan into the rice cooker.

Step: 4 Choose the cooking setting

Select the cooking setting you want to use, such as white rice, brown rice, sushi rice, or porridge, depending on the type of rice you’re cooking.

Step: 5 Press start

Once you select the cooking setting, press the start button to begin the cooking process.

Step: 6 Wait for the rice to cook

The rice cooker will automatically switch to the “keep warm” mode once the cooking process is complete. Let the rice sit in the range for 10-15 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

That’s it! With these simple steps, you should be able to cook perfect rice in your Zojirushi rice cooker.
