To begin cooking rice in the Breville Rice Cooker, take out the Rice Duo 6 cup and fill it with rice. If you are cooking rice for four people you will want to fill the Rice Duo Cup 6 with two cups of uncooked rice. This will yield 4 cups of cooked rice. Wash the measured-out rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

Next, place the removable cooking bowl in the stainless steel housing of the Breville Rice Cooker. Make sure the cooking bowl is sitting flat. This will make sure it maintains proper contact with the cooking surface. Add the uncooked rice to the removable cooking bowl. Add 1 cup of water for every 1 cup of rice you want to cook. Place the glass lid on top of the bowl and plug the cooker into an outlet. An amber light will illuminate once the Breville Rice Cooker has been plugged in.

Creating Different Rice Dishes

The Breville Rice Cooker can also be used to create more elaborate rice dishes. If you are creating a meat and rice dish, meat stock can be used in place of water. If the amount of rice you are cooking requires 2 cups of water, you will need to use two cups of chicken, beef, vegetable or other stock.
