INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Using the “Stainless Steel Inner Pot”, add 4 cups of raw rice. Wash the rice and drain the water thoroughly. Do it twice.
  2. Add 4 cups of water (use the same rice cup you used to measure the rice). Water ratio is 1:1 if you’re cooking a different amount of rice.
  3. Using a hand towel, wipe the bottom of the pot until dry.
  4. Transfer the steel pot on the heating element.
  5. Place the lid on top and position the lid at 2:40 clock position. Turn the lid to close position (going left). You should see the embedded word on top of the lid that says “CLOSE”.
