Instructions

Rice-n-Roll

Since high-quality rice cookers offer features like durable nonstick pans and direct heating that provides more even heat distribution of the rice, cooking rice becomes foolproof. With the help of a rice cooker, recreating restaurant favorites, such as sushi rolls, burritos, and wraps, is a snap.
For example, the addition of Mexican seasonings to the rice cooker will turn out flavorful rice perfect for stuffing a flour tortilla. Plain jasmine rice is terrific in a red pepper tortilla wrap filled with Thai curried vegetables. Wrap up your weekend demo with a demonstration led by a sushi chef. Each demo is an opportunity to discuss rice cooker features and benefits, such as multi menu settings for preparing everything from long-grain rice to sushi rice perfectly.
