Cooking Rice in Oyama Rice Cooker

This is my current stainless steel rice cooker / veggie steamer:

When cooking rice in an Oyama rice cooker, the standard rice to water ratio is:

– For white rice: 1 cup rice to 1.5 cups water

– For brown rice: 1 cup rice to 2 cups water

Here are some tips for getting perfect rice in an Oyama rice cooker:

– Use the measuring cup that came with the rice cooker. It is calibrated for the correct rice to water ratio.

– Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch. This prevents sticky rice.

– For softer rice, use a bit more water (1 cup rice to 1.75 cups water for white rice). For firmer rice, use a bit less water.

– Once the rice is cooked, let it sit in the cooker for 10-15 minutes before fluffing with a fork. This allows the moisture to evenly distribute.

– For brown rice, you may need to add a bit more water during cooking if it seems too dry. Check halfway through and add 2-3 tablespoons if needed.

– Use the correct rice cooker setting for the type of rice you are cooking (white, brown, sushi, etc).

The Oyama rice cooker has a built-in thermostat and automatic shut off, so it will cook the rice perfectly if you use the right ratio of rice to water. Experiment to find your ideal ratio for how you like your rice cooked.
