Introducing the Kent Electric Rice Cooker-SS 16021

We at KENT have always believed that a clean and healthy life is a right of every individual.

This ethos is what made us embark on the journey to develop innovative solutions for purifying the water we drink, the vegetables and fruits we eat, the homes we live in, and the air we breathe.

With the use of innovative technology and support by a competent service network, we have been able to create a brand that has become synonymous with well-being and health.

Continuing the tradition, we now present the KENT Electric Rice Cooker-SS for a home-made and healthy diet.

Rice is a staple food enjoyed by millions of people. While eating rice is a pleasure, cooking it is a cumbersome process. Traditionally, rice is cooked in round pots on an open flame. Steamed vegetables and other dishes like dalia, momos, and soup are healthy meals enjoyed by many, but not cooked regularly because of the traditional cooking process.

Introducing KENT Electric Rice Cooker-SS, for cooking rice, steaming, making soup, etc. with a 'Keep Warm' function and futuristic features for extra convenience and easy cooking.

RECIPES

COOKING RICE

Open the lid by pressing the 'Release Lever' button found on the lid.
Take the inner pot out.

Note: Do not exceed the quantities indicated on the inside of the inner pot.
Wash the rice thoroughly.
Put the pre-washed rice in the inner pot.
Add water to the level indicated on the scale inside the inner pot that corresponds to the number of cups of rice used.
Then smoothen the rice surface.
