Anleitung Zusammenfassung
Its flavor is nutty and its texture is chewy. (See Cooking Chart.) WHITE RICE - Includes several kinds of white rice, most of which can be prepared in your Russell Hobbs® Automatic Rice Cooker. (See Cooking Chart.) LONG-GRAIN RICE - Less starchy than short-grain rice, so it separates into individual grains more than short-grain rice. SHORT-GRAIN RICE - More moist and tender than long-grain rice. It has a softer texture and starchier flavor. White rice will take about 20-25 minutes to cook, (brown rice approximately 50 minutes). When rice is done, the Russell Hobbs® Automatic Rice Cooker will automatically go into the ON/WARM Mode and the ON/WARM Light will go on. Allow rice to stand on ON/WARM for 10 to 15 minutes to ensure fluffy rice. You can keep cooked rice on the ON/WARM setting for several hours without the taste of the rice being affected. Do not remove Cover until ready to serve. The Inner Pot remains very hot after cooking or keeping warm. Use a pot holder when handling. 9 Why Rice? Grains (including rice) are finally getting the attention they deserve as they move into the nutritional spotlight. The new USDA dietary recommendations highlight grains as an essential part of a healthy, whole foods diet. With their impressive fiber, complex carbohydrates and protein profiles, they are, without a doubt, some of Mother Nature’s most perfect foods. Grains are the edible portion of cereal plants. The grain or kernel is technically a complete fruit and houses most of its nutritional value. In addition to their high fiber content, grains are an excellent source of B vitamins and many minerals, including magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium and selenium. The germ oils found in the germ layers of whole grains contain vitamin E, an important antioxidant. Grain Glossary RICE is a staple food in many countries. Although long-grain rice is consumed more than any other rice around the world, it is inferior to brown rice in both taste and nutrition. Brown rice is not only more complete nutritionally, it has a wonderful nutty aroma and flavor. POLISHED RICE (white) has been bleached, cleaned, pearled (polished with talc), then often oiled and coated. This refining process causes the loss of its hull, bran and germ, which are removed from the grain (along with most of its nutrients) leaving only the starchy endosperm. As white rice is rather bland when eaten by itself, it is usually served under steamed or sauteed vegetables and topped with a flavorful sauce, such as curry or peanut. LONG GRAIN BROWN RICE contains fiber and the nutrient-rich bran and germ, as well as the starchy endosperm. In addition to being more flavorful, brown rice digests more slowly, which provides energy over a longer period of time. Brown rice is a satisfying meal companion and can even serve as the main focus for a meal. While not as high in protein as wheat and some other grains (10%), the high quality protein in brown rice is easily utilized by the body. Brown rice is also a good source of the B vitamins and serval minerals, including magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, and selenium. 10 Steaming Food Steaming Food Keep the Stainless Steel Lid on while cooking or steaming food, unless the recipe or chart specially calls for removing it. By removing the Stainless Steel Lid unnecessarily, you lose steam and valuable time. If you must remove it to stir or to add an ingredient, have the Rice Paddle or ingredient ready, add it, stir quickly and just as quickly replace the Lid. USING THE STEAMER INSERT The Steamer Insert is specifically designed to steam vegetables. It can also be used to reheat foods, or steam frozen foods such as pot stickers. Use the Steamer Insert while cooking rice*, or as a stand-alone steamer by adding water to the Inner Pot. 1. Clean and prepare your vegetables. Cut vegetables into bite-sized pieces. 2. Place the Inner Pot into the Rice Cooker Body. Be sure the Inner Pot is seated properly. Measure appropriate amount of water and add to Inner Pot (see water measurements/time following). 3. When steaming smaller vegetables or chunks, place vegetables directly into the Steamer Insert. (If you are cooking combinations of vegetables, be sure they require the same cooking time and also cut pieces uniformly to assure all vegetables will be finished steaming at the same time.) 4. Then place the Steamer Insert onto the rim of the Inner Pot and cover with Stainless Steel Lid. 5. Plug the cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Press the Rice Cooking Selector Lever down to the COOK position. Make sure the COOK Light is on. Steaming will start shortly. 6. Allow vegetables to steam to desired doneness. See Vegetable Steaming Chart. NOTE: When steaming foods for longer periods of time, it is necessary to periodically check water level so that the Inner Pot does not boil dry. 7. The Rice Cooker may automatically switch to WARM. If additional cooking is desired, unplug the unit and add more water. Replace the Stainless Steel Lid. Plug in the ...
