19.52 -> easier. This video will show you step-by-step

to cook all types of rice, including but not
29.81 -> limited; white, brown, parboiled or rice in
the husk, Indian-style such as basmati or
35 -> jasmine and quinoa. We offer a great selection
of rice and rice cooking accessories. Cooking
40.239 -> rice in your rice cooker is easy and consistent.
Follow these simple steps and tips for the
42.91 -> perfect steamed rice every time! The first
step when using a rice cooker is to measure
47.339 -> the correct amount of rice into a bowl. If
your recipe calls for standard U.S. cups,
52.34 -> you will want to adjust your measurements
accordingly, but otherwise, you should use
56.109 -> the rice cup that came with your rice cooker.
This measuring cup is based on a Chinese cup
61.28 -> measurement and is equal to about 3/4 of a
standard U.S. cup measurement. For most types
65.75 -> of rice, the second step is to thoroughly
rinse the grains until the water runs clear.
70.34 -> The purpose of rinsing is to remove any pesticides
that may be present, give your rice a more
74.57 -> consistent texture, and lessen the chance
that your rice cooker will bubble over. Do
79.369 -> note that while rinsing your rice is generally
the rule, it's important to read the packaging.
83.78 -> Some rice comes enriched with water-soluble
vitamins and minerals such as iron or thiamin
86.07 -> that will dissolve if it is washed prior to
cooking. After rinsing, transfer the rice
90.28 -> from the bowl to the inner pan of your rice
cooker. Before transferring the rice, you
94.711 -> might want to line the pan with one of our
reusable rice napkins as they can greatly
98.35 -> reduce cleanup time and maximize water drainage
for fluffier cooked rice. The next step is
103.84 -> to add water to the pan using the same measuring
cup you used to measure the rice. Many rice
108.81 -> cookers come with graduated marks on the inner
pan indicating how much rice and water should
113.159 -> be added. However, the general rule in U.S.
standard cups is to add 1 ½ cups of water
118.74 -> per 1 cup of rice, or in the case of unwashed
rice, 2 cups of water per 1 cup of rice. This
125.021 -> can vary based on the type of rice you're
cooking and how moist you prefer it, so for
129.08 -> more specific measurements, check out the
chart in our rice cooker buying guide. Place
133.37 -> the inner pan in the cooker. At this point,
some people will let their rice soak for 30
137.45 -> minutes. You can also add a bit of butter,
salt, oil, or even bay leaves or cardamom
142.19 -> pods to your cooker to enhance the flavor
of your rice. Once the inner pan is in place,
146.83 -> plug in your rice cooker. Press the switch
to turn it on. Generally, there will be a
150.73 -> light on the front of the unit that turns
on when cooking is in progress. While your
155.47 -> rice is cooking, do not remove the lid as
this may cause your rice to dry out. When
160.411 -> this particular unit is finished cooking,
the switch will pop up and the light on the
164.27 -> front of the unit will go out. At this point,
you should let your rice rest inside the cooker
168.08 -> for at least 15 minutes in keep-warm mode.
This will allow your rice to finish cooking
172.73 -> and stabilize the water level so that excess
moisture steams out of your rice. After 15
177.64 -> minutes, your rice is ready to be served and
you can unplug your cooker! Since the inner
180.85 -> pan is made of a non-stick material, it's
best to use plastic serving utensils when
183.72 -> serving your rice. Try one of our rice ladles
that are designed specifically for use with
185.75 -> rice and rice cooking equipment! If you used
a rice napkin, cleanup takes no more than
187.62 -> a minute. If not, you can soak the inner pan
in hot water to loosen cooked-on rice, and
192.3 -> then clean it with a non-metal brush or sponge.
Keep in mind that you shouldn't use abrasive
197.14 -> cleaners or steel wool on the pan because
you will ruin its non-stick surface. And that's
200.14 -> it! Now you know how easy it is to cook rice
in a rice cooker. As always, thanks for watching,
