  1. 1Set the Toshiba OriginTaste Rice Cooker on a flat, dry, heat-safe counter with the steam vent clear. Confirm the nonstick inner pot and steam valve/vent cap are clean, dry, and seated correctly.
  2. 2Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs mostly clear, then drain well. Measurements use standard U.S. cups unless noted.
  3. 3Add the rice, measured liquid, and seasonings to the inner pot only. Stir gently with a soft utensil, keeping the mixture well below the safe fill level.
  4. 4Wipe the outside and bottom of the inner pot dry, place it in the cooker, close the lid securely, plug in the cooker, and select the White Rice function.
  5. 5Let the program run without repeated lid opening. When the cooker switches to Keep Warm, rest the rice for 10 min.
  6. 6Open the lid carefully away from your face, fluff with the included spatula or another soft utensil, and fold in any delicate finishing ingredients.
  7. 7Serve warm. Cancel Keep Warm when finished, refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours, unplug the cooker, and clean the cooled inner pot and steam valve/vent cap by hand.
