Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Set up the rice cooker by washing the interior basket and attaching the power cord to both the machine and an electrical outlet.
2

Measure the needed amount of rice and place in the interior basket of the cooker; 1 cup per person is a good amount to start with and can be adjusted for the next meal, depending on your families' needs.
3

Measure 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice used and pour into the interior basket. For brown rice, increase the ratio to 2 1/2 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice.
4

Close the lid of the cooker making sure it locks securely in place.
5

Press the start button. Most Salton cookers take approximately 45 minutes to fully cook the rice no matter how much rice is being cooked.
6

Use a fork to fluff the rice after the cooker has switched to the "Warm" or "Hold" mode and just before serving.
