RICE COOKING TIPS
RICE vARIATIONS
Savoury Rice
•
Add a little extra water for fluffier rice
and a little less water for firmer rice.
Prepare rice in the rice cooker as specified,
substituting all the water with the same
quantity of chicken, beef, fish, or vegetable
stock.
•
Washed rice will have some extra water
adhering after rinsing. This extra water
will extend the cooking time slightly.
Reduce the measured amount of water to
compensate, if required.
Sweet Rice
Prepare rice in the rice cooker as specified
substituting half the water with apple juice,
orange juice or pineapple juice. Cooking rice
with milk or cream is not recommended as
it will burn onto the bottom of removable
cooking bowl.
•
•
Some rice varieties may require more
water for cooking, such as wild rice
blends, Arborio rice or short grain rice.
Follow the directions on the packet or
use the brown rice cooking table.
Due to the additional water needed to
cook brown rice, some starchy water
bubbles may rise to the lid while
cooking. For best results, wash brown
rice before cooking and allow to stand
on the WARM setting for 20 minutes
after cooking to absorb the remaining
moisture.
Saffron Rice
Add ½ teaspoon of threads to every 2 cups
of water. Use white rice cooking tables. Mix
well.
Arborio Rice
Arborio rice is short round-grained pearly
rice used for Italian risotto cooking. Use
brown rice cooking tables.

Wild Rice
It is not recommended to cook wild rice

substantial amount of water. It is possible
to cook wild rice as a blend with white or
brown rice.

STEAMING
in your Breville Rice Box™
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
STEAMING
Steamed foods retain most of their
nutritional value when cooked in the rice
cooker. Foods may be steamed by placing
food in the steaming tray over stock or
water and closing the lid. Keep the lid
closed while steaming food unless the
recipe or chart specifically states to open
the lid. By opening the lid unnecessarily
steam is lost and the cooking time will be
extended.
6. When steaming is finished, carefully
open the lid and remove foods from
the steaming tray. If further steaming
is required ensure sufficient water is in
the removable cooking bowl. If not, add
more hot water or stock.
7. If no further steaming is required, press
the STOP button and switch the rice
cooker off at the power outlet and then
unplug the cord. Allow to cool before
cleaning.
1. Measure 3 Rice Box™ cups or more
of water or stock into the removable
cooking bowl. Use up to a maximum of
6 Rice Box™ cups of water.
NOTE
Generally, the amount of water
required for steaming (3–6 cups water
or stock) will be retained throughout
the steaming process and this will
prevent the LED screen showing the
last 12 minutes of cooking and/or
automatically switching to the WARM
setting.
However, monitor the water level and
do not let the removable cooking bowl
boil dry during steaming. Hot liquid
can be added during the steaming
process.
2. Place food to be steamed directly onto
the steaming tray and insert into the
removable cooking bowl. (Refer to the
Steaming Charts on pages 23–25 for
approximate cooking times).
3. Place removable cooking bowl with
steaming tray into the outer housing and
close the lid.
4. Plug power cord into a 230V or 240V
power outlet and then switch on. The red
START light will flash
5. Select the COOK/SUSHI setting by
pressing the START button and two
dashes ‘--‘ will appear on the LED
screen. The red light on the START
button will illuminate.
The WARM setting can be selected
independently after the Cancel button
has been pressed.
