  • Drain the rice well - Remove any excess water from the rinsed rice and washed vegetables to prevent the rice from turning mushy during cooking.
  • Recook if needed - If the beef or rice isn’t fully cooked, press the “COOK” button again to start another cycle until everything is cooked through. 
  • Cooking times may differ depending on the rice cooker model.
