Meet Paula Deen
Culinary icon Paula Deen is a self-made entrepreneur who learned her savory secrets from her grandmother. She started her career in the food industry with a small catering company called The Bag Lady, but business quickly outgrew her home kitchen. Taking a leap of faith, she opened her first restaurant, The Lady and Sons, which has since become a tourist hot spot in Savannah, GA. With her huge personality, delectable recipes and heart of gold, Paula next found herself in talks with TV execs after a friend introduced her to some influential people in the business. The rest, as they say, is history. In addition to her television success, Paula has sold more than 11,000,000 copies of her 14 cookbooks and launched the Paula Deen Network, an interactive digital portal that combines cooking, lifestyle and game shows with great recipes, meal-planning tools and more.

PAULA’SCOOKINGTIPS• To steam food and cook rice simultaneously, place the
desired amount of rice and appropriate amount of water into the inner pot. It is not recommended to cook more than 6 cups (uncooked) of white rice or 4 cups of brown rice (uncooked). Begin to cook the rice, towards the end of the rice cooking period, place food on the steam tray then place into the inner pot. Close the lid and allow the cooker to resume cooking. Once steam time is complete open the rice cooker and serve.
• The rice cooker has markings on the inner pot to make rice cooking easier than ever. Simply add 2 of the measuring cups provided of white rice (Note: This is not equal to 1 US standard cup measurement) into the inner pot then fill water to the line marked 2.
• Always add uncooked rice to the pot before filling with water. Note: The water level marked on the inner pot is based upon having rice inside.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Solution
Rice is too dry/hard after cooking. If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the rice cooker switches to the keep warm mode additional water and cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is add 1/2 to 1 cup of water and stir thoroughly.
Close the lid and press the power button, When the rice cooker switches to the keep warm mode, 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 wet or soggy when the rice cooker switches to warm mode, use the spoon to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close the lid and remain on the keep warm mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, open the lid and stir periodically to release excess moisture.
