What types of rice can I cook in Kotori?

We designed Kotori primarily as a rice cooker, with great-tasting rice at the heart of its design. Despite its compact size, Kotori is designed to cook a variety of rice types, with three dedicated rice programmes that allow the cooking process to be matched to the type of rice you're preparing.

Kotori's Rice Cooking Options

Kotori has the following dedicated rice programmes:

LONG GRAIN

The LONG GRAIN function is designed for long-grain white rice, including:

• Basmati

• Jasmine

• Thai fragrant rice

• Other long-grain white rice varieties

This programme is designed to provide the appropriate cooking conditions for long-grain rice, helping to produce well-cooked, fluffy grains with the right texture.

SHORT GRAIN

The SHORT GRAIN function is designed for white short-grain rice varieties, including:

• Pearl rice

• Sushi rice

• Thai sticky rice

• Other short-grain white rice varieties

Short-grain rice has different characteristics from long-grain rice, particularly in how it absorbs water and develops its texture during cooking. The dedicated programme allows Kotori to use cooking conditions better suited to these varieties.

BROWN

The BROWN function is designed for both long- and short-grain brown rice.

Brown rice retains its outer bran layer, meaning that it absorbs water and cooks differently from white rice. Kotori's dedicated Brown programme is therefore designed to provide the longer and more appropriate cooking conditions required by brown rice.
