Some customers will keep their rice for 4-5 days, but we recommend keeping your rice for only 12 hours to maximize taste. Not to worry, with this machine\u2019s Extended Keep Warm feature, you can keep your rice up to 24 hours, as well as reheat the rice at the touch of a button with the Reheat feature.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of keeping your rice in the rice cooker for days, refrigerate or freeze your leftover rice to enjoy later. Store leftover rice in a container or wrap tightly in plastic wrap to retain moisture. When you&#8217;re ready to eat it, microwave it and use it for fried rice or rice salad!<\/p>\n<p>With the new <em>steam<\/em> feature, you\u2019ll be able to cook your favorite flavorful meals without the guilt. Pack the steaming basket like the image below after adding water to the pan and select the steam menu setting for perfectly cooked vegetables. Did you know, meats and fish can also be steamed?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5275 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/May-blog-Ver2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/May-blog-Ver2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/May-blog-Ver2-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/May-blog-Ver2-768x369.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/May-blog-Ver2-500x240.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Looking for more recipe ideas?
