Measuring the rice and water
Before using the Tefal Microcomputer Rice Cooker, it is important to measure the correct amount of rice and water for optimal results.
Rice: Use the measuring cup that comes with the rice cooker to measure the desired amount of rice. The measuring cup typically holds 180ml of raw rice. The recommended ratio for white rice is 1:1, which means for every cup of rice, add one cup of water. However, for other types of rice such as brown or basmati, the ratio may vary. It is recommended to refer to the product manual or recipe instructions for specific ratios.
Water: The amount of water needed depends on the type of rice being cooked and personal preference for texture. As mentioned, the recommended ratio for white rice is 1:1, meaning equal parts of rice and water. However, if you prefer softer rice, you can increase the amount of water slightly. For brown rice, the ratio is typically 1:1.5 or 1:2, with one cup of rice requiring one and a half to two cups of water.
Remember to always measure the rice and water accurately to ensure perfect results every time you use the Tefal Microcomputer Rice Cooker.

Serving and cleaning
Once the rice is cooked, it is important to serve it promptly to ensure the best taste and texture. Using a rice paddle or a wooden spoon, gently scoop the rice out of the cooking pot and transfer it to a serving dish. Be careful not to scrape the bottom of the pot, as this can cause the rice to become sticky.
Before cleaning the rice cooker, make sure it is unplugged and has cooled down. Remove the inner cooking pot and wash it with warm, soapy water. Do not use harsh abrasives or scrubbing pads, as these can damage the non-stick coating. Rinse the pot thoroughly and dry it with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Wipe the exterior of the rice cooker with a damp cloth to remove any food residue. Avoid immersing the rice cooker in water, as this can damage the electrical components. If necessary, use a mild detergent to clean stubborn stains.
Finally, store the rice cooker in a cool, dry place until the next use. Avoid storing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this can affect the performance and longevity of the appliance.
