How to make Sticky Rice in a Panasonic Rice Cooker.

Preparations

1. Measure rice with the measuring cup provided.
   • The volume of the measuring cup is about 180 mL.
   • The amount of Sticky rice is 1 - 3 cups for SR-CN108, SR-JMY108
   • The amount of Sticky rice is 1 - 4 cups for SR-CN188, SR-JMY188
2. Wash the rice till the water turns relatively clear.
   • Wash the rice quickly with plenty of water and stirring the rice lightly to wash it while changing water.
   • Repeat it for several times (wash the rice → pour out water), till the water turns relatively clear.
   • In order to avoid scratching the non-stick coating on the inner pan surface, do not wash rice in the inner pan.
   • Wash the rice thoroughly. Otherwise, rice crust may appear and the residual rice bran may affect the taste of the rice.
   •  For sticky rice, please soak the rice in water for 30 minutes before start cooking.
3. Add the washed rice into the inner pan.
   • Use water line on the inner pan to measure cooking quantity.
     Example : When the rice quantity is 3 measuring cups, wash the rice and put into the inner pan, then add water into the inner pan till the water surface reaches scale “3” at water line of “Sticky Rice”.
     
     
   • Dry the outside surface of the inner pan. If it is wet, it may cause noise while cooking. Any foreign matters between the inner pan and the cast heater may damage the unit.
   • Make sure that the inner pan is on leveled surface.
   • If rice is too hard or too soft, please adjust water amount according to your personal taste. 
   •  The total amount of ingredients and water shall not exceed the maximum water level for "Sticky rice".
4. Put the inner pan into the body and close the outer lid.
   1. Press down the Outer Lid until a sound of “click” is heard. 
5. Connect the plugs.
   • Please insert the instrument plug into the body first.
   • Connect the power plug. Make sure that both plugs are tightly connected.
