What types of rice can I cook in Tsuki?
Tsuki was designed first and foremost to be an excellent rice cooker, with its core purpose being to consistently produce great-tasting rice across a wide range of rice varieties.
Rather than using one generic cooking programme for every type of rice, Tsuki provides dedicated rice cooking functions, each carefully calibrated to suit the characteristics of different rice varieties.
WHITE / LONG GRAIN
The WHITE / LONG GRAIN function is designed for long-grain white rice, including popular varieties such as:
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 produce well-separated, fluffy grains with the texture you would expect from properly cooked long-grain rice.
SHORT GRAIN
The SHORT GRAIN function is designed for white short-grain varieties, including:
Pearl rice
Sushi rice
Japanese short-grain rice
Thai sticky rice
Short-grain rice has different characteristics from long-grain rice, particularly in its starch content, water absorption and desired final texture. Tsuki's dedicated Short Grain programme is therefore calibrated specifically for these types of rice.
BROWN
The BROWN function is designed for both long-grain and short-grain brown rice.
Brown rice retains its outer bran layer, meaning that it absorbs water and cooks differently from white rice. The dedicated Brown programme takes these differences into account to help produce properly cooked brown rice with a good texture.
YUMAMI
The YUMAMI function is designed for extra-tasty white rice.
YUMAMI uses a specially developed cooking process designed to allow the rice to spend more time in the conditions needed to develop a particularly flavoursome, fuller-tasting result.
It is an excellent option when you're cooking white rice and want to focus specifically on maximising its flavour and texture.
The Right Programme for the Rice
Choosing the appropriate programme is an important part of getting the best results from an advanced rice cooker.
Long-grain white rice → WHITE / LONG GRAIN
Short-grain / sushi / sticky rice → SHORT GRAIN
Brown rice → BROWN
Extra-tasty white rice → YUMAMI
By providing dedicated programmes rather than treating every variety of rice identically, Tsuki is able to tailor its cooking process to the rice you're actually preparing.
Tsuki isn't simply designed to cook rice – it's designed to cook different types of rice properly.\
