• Use Rice Bowl for rices and grains.
• Liquid can be water or stock according to
personal preference.
• Stir after adding liquid to distribute evenly
in the bowl.
• Use low-sodium/low-fat stocks for extra
flavour.
• Dried or fresh herbs, chopped onion or
garlic may be added.
• Flavoured rices such as basmati or jasmine
may require slightly different cooking times.
• Fluff rice with a fork when removing from
Rice Bowl.
• Trim artichokes.
• Serve cooked artichokes warm or chilled.
• Choose firm, unrippled stalks with tight
tips, best cooked the day they are
purchased.
• Break off bottoms at the natural break,
then trim closely with a knife.
