■ Cooks rice that avoids clumping and can be
easily fl uffed when frozen and then thawed in the
microwave.
How to Freeze
① While the rice is still warm, scoop it out in
approximately 2/3 cup (approx. 5.3 oz. / 150 g)
portions atop plastic wrap, gently flatten out the
portions and then wrap them. (Approx. 1 in. / 3cm
thickness)
② Once the portions have cooled to room
temperature, put them in the freezer.
Tips for Freezing
●Freeze the rice quickly.
(Because keeping the cooked rice warm for a long period of time diminishes its fl avor.)
●Put the rice on an aluminum tray and then freeze it to help preserve its quality.
(Because this will make it freeze more quickly.)
How to Thaw (Warm) Rice
●Please follow your microwave's operating instructions.
If thawing (warming) rice is not addressed in the operating instructions, use the
approximate heating times below as a guide and adjust based on how done the
rice is.
1 portion: approx. 2/3 cup (approx. 5.3 oz. / 150 g)
2 portions: approx. 1 1/3 cups (approx. 10.6 oz. / 300 g)
