Seriously, I don't do formal recipies as such, but I have just bought one as well (changed the cheapie for and expensive one as the cheapy burned a crust of rice on the base of the pot- yuk!).

I do loads of rice and stuff type mixes...

any fine diced veg will cook with the rice (eg onion carrot pepper and sweetcorn) you can add a tin of pulses and en up with a complete meal. Just use the quantity of rice and water that you cooker states for 5 and have a look towards the end of cooking as it might need a drop mor water.

Any pillau rice recipie would do fine- again just adjust the amount of rice and water and up or down the spices in proportion.

a kitchri (I think I gotr that right) is lentils and rice (with an onion and some spices) and would do well- you wouldneed to watch the water and maybe stir it though as , the lentils will mush as they cook and stick.

I find brown basmati is heavenly in the rice cooker. I find white rice a bit soft for me (not over cooked just soft!). Have tried the rice mixes with red rice/wild/white and brown and I like them too, but they are def chewy- again not under cooked and gritty but chewy- I think would make a good salad.

I did do arborio for a rice pud, but beware if you do this or a risotto:rotfl:

Firstly I put the whole 500g in and it was like the old womans porrodge pot- made a HUGE quantity!!

Secondly if it says cook the rice in water and add cream (which my booklet does) don't think you can get round it by half cooking in water then adding milk hoping it will boil down and be thick and creamy as usual- I only added a small amout of milk and it erupted out of the pot:rotfl: :rotfl: Not fun to clean , fortunately not much on the heating plate!!

These may be of help in finding instruction books...

Sharing (and sourcing) manuals and instruction books

Also:-

http://www.instruction-manuals.co.uk/

If they can't help - try using google for your make and model and perhaps the manufacturer will be able to supply a replacement or they may even do an on line version that you can print.

Google for something like - RiceMaker 1234 +manual

Good luck
