I've been making curries abs stews, You set to quick cook function to fry veg and meats, Add liquids and cancel quick cook then press the function like stew takes about 1.5 to 2 hrs to cook stew. Or 2 hrs goat curry. Just cook as you normally do. Marion Grasby has some recepies. Super easy.

My cooker doesn’t even display numbers when cooking rice and my 2 cups of rice was over done in 20 minutes.

why does it take so long to cook the rice? white rice takes about 15-20min on the stovetop so why is it so long with the rice cooker? also, doesn't it use a lot of electricity that way?

[@PhilipsHomeLiving]

Hi, thanks for reaching out with your concerns about the Digital Rice Cooker 3000 Series. The cooking time for white rice in our rice cookers is indeed longer than the stovetop method. This is because our rice cookers use advanced technology to ensure that rice is cooked evenly and thoroughly, which enhances the texture and flavor. The 'keep warm' function also ensures your rice stays at the perfect temperature until you're ready to serve, without the need for constant monitoring. Regarding electricity consumption, our rice cookers are designed to be energy-efficient, consuming minimal electricity, especially when compared to the total energy used for cooking and maintaining heat on a stovetop. If you have any more questions or require further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us through the support page on our website or through one of our Social Media channels.

You're never going to get the rice as perfect on the stove as you can in the rice cooker - for that reason.

[@nenadnedovic9246]

How do you cook quinoa

[@Zalodar26]

I recommend the quick cook setting for Quinoa. Turns out perfect.

[@steverayner500]

there was no steam, the rice was cold 😆

[@Egyfitness]

how many cups of water to 3 cups of rice?

[@whitehotwonka]

You put water into the pot up until the 3 cup marking on the side.

[@nenadnedovic9246]

Use the cup that comes with the unit. If your doing white rice then fill it up to the amount of cups you put in. Wash your rice really well until the water runs clear. Press the rice your cooking and its done. Keep warm is great to have also.

[@user-Eunice-HC]

@@nenadnedovic9246 try so many time you cant really know how many rice and how many water，i try to use 3cup rice you put water until line 3，after cook very dry.i try put little bit more water as well，after that be like congee…now this cooker never use！will sell who looking near new rice cooker. i feel this very garbage

[@nenadnedovic9246]

​​@user-Eunice-HC Depends on the rice I use medium it's one cup rice one cup water I use the cup from rice cooker Long grain white rice - 1:1.75 ratio (1 cup rice + 1 3/4 cups water) Medium grain white rice - 1:1.5 ratio (1 cup rice + 1 1/2 cups water) Short grain white rice - 1:1.5 ratio (1 cup rice + 1 1/2 cups water) Long grain brown rice - 1:2.25 ratio (1 cup rice + 2 1/4 cups water) Let it stand for 5min on warm then fluff. Try these as a guide I hope it helps.

My rice is ALWAYS GLUGGY. I have followed the instructions, tried less water, tried more water, tried less time but it is always gluggy - I HATE IT!!

[@PhilipsHomeLiving]

Thank you for contacting us. We are sorry to hear that your Philips Digital Rice Cooker 3000 Series (HD4518) is not working as expected. We understand how frustrating it can be to have gluggy rice. We want to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Please try the following steps to troubleshoot your rice cooker: - Make sure you are using the correct type and amount of rice for your rice cooker. Different types of rice may require different amounts of water and cooking time. You can refer to the user manual for the recommended rice and water ratio. - Make sure you rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. Rinsing the rice can remove excess starch and prevent the rice from sticking together. - Make sure you use the measuring cup and the inner pot that came with your rice cooker. Using different utensils may affect the accuracy of the measurements and the cooking performance. - Make sure you select the appropriate cooking mode for your rice. Your rice cooker has different modes for white rice, brown rice, multigrain, etc. You can press the menu button to choose the mode that matches your rice type. If you have tried these steps and your rice is still gluggy, please contact us again via this chat. We will be happy to assist you further and provide you with a suitable solution. Thank you for choosing Philips.

[@genellethornton88]

Thanks for your reply Philips, i appreciate you taking the time to respond. I have tried all of the suggestions you made, I am using the measuring cup provided and the water level marks inside the bowl. I have tried different types of rice, and I always rinse well first. I’m sorry but it just isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do. Before I got this cooker, I was using a cheap one which always cooked perfect rice.

[@PhilipsHomeLiving]

[@genellethornton88]

Hi there, thanks for your input to my dilemma. I only use long grain white rice either Jasmin ir Basmati. I’ve had some luck with the Basmati if I cook it on the short cycle, but no matter what I try with the Jasmine it is ALWAYS gluggy and awful. I’ve even removed the plate in the lid to make sure it isn’t blocked. I think I’ve got a dud.

[@samtaylor007]

45 mins to cook 3 cups!!! Wtf. Is it heating based on room temperature

Rice looks dry.

[@Morten_M]

You NEED to WASH you rice. before cooking

[@Egyfitness]

She did that

[@slick3066]

Notice when she said "pre washed rice" bro 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Egyfitness]

I watched the video again, but when she puts it in the cooker it makes dry noise, which means it is not moist. But it is a demonstration anyways, they won't actually eat it.@@slick3066
