approx. 45 min.
• The minimum quantity of rice for boiling is 400 g (3 CUPs),
which will provide you with approx. 650 g of boiled rice,
depending on the type of rice used.
• Rule of thumb: Use 2 parts of water with 1 part of rice.
• Check the packaging of your rice product for information on
the exact quantity ratio.
