When rice cooker switches to Keep-Warm, open the lid and stir the rice to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist. |
Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking | If your rice is still too moist or soggywhen the rice cooker switches to Keep-Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the rice.
