Instructions (7 steps)

01Measure out 2 c rice and add to the rice maker pot. My rice maker comes with a measuring cup and I always use this to measure both rice and water.
02Rinse the rice in the pot under cold running tap water. Use your hands to move the rice around gently to clean the grains. Pour out the water once it starts to change color. Repeat this process 2 times. Make sure to drain all the water when finished.
03After you clean the rice and remove the rinsing water, add 2 c filtered water to the pot.
04Return the rice pot to the rice maker. Make sure your rice maker is on and follow the manual instructions. Our rice cooker provides a “quick” setting along with a “normal” setting. I more often than not choose “quick” because it gives me the same results for a shorter amount of time. While the rice is cooking, do not lift the lid so as not to lose steam.
05Once the rice is done, leave the cooker closed for an additional 5 minutes before opening. It will be flat on the surface.
