cakepampered said::cry:Oh my God! Tonight I decided to use my rice cooker to make some brown rice. Right from the start I will admit that I had no directions on what to do. I poured 1/2 cup of brown rice in the cooker and added 1 cup of water. I set the time for 11 minutes. When I pulled it out the rice was not cooked so I decided to put the rice cooker back in the microwave for 10 more minutes. Well, that was a BIG MISTAKE!!! Suddenly I started to smell something burning. I just had time to look over and see smoke pouring out of the microwave and reaching the ceiling. I opened the door to the mic and discovered a gooy black mess spreading on the glass plate. The bottom of the rice cooker was melting before my eyes and the rice was black and smoldering. I quickly pulled everything out and threw the whole mess into the garbage. Now I still have a problem... the smell will not leave my house! This happened 3 hours ago and the air is still thick with a chemical stench. Here is my question: do you think that burning the rice cooker like this sent out toxic fumes into my house? I am really upset over the lose of my rice cooker, but more concerned that I may have poisoned my family.:yuck:

The general rule for cooking brown rice in a rice cooker is to use 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice. However, this may vary depending on the type and brand of rice cooker you have. It's always best to consult the instruction manual for specific water measurements.
No, brown rice requires a longer cooking time and more water than white rice. Most rice cookers have a specific setting for brown rice, so it's important to use this setting for optimal results.
The average cooking time for brown rice in a rice cooker is around 45 minutes. However, this may vary depending on the brand and type of rice cooker you have. It's best to check the instruction manual for specific cooking times.
Yes, you can add seasoning or other ingredients to your brown rice before cooking it in the rice cooker. Just make sure to adjust the amount of water accordingly and mix the ingredients well before starting the cooking process.
To prevent your brown rice from sticking to the bottom of the rice cooker, make sure to rinse the rice well before cooking it. You can also add a small amount of oil or butter to the rice and water mixture before cooking. Additionally, avoid stirring the rice during the cooking process to prevent it from becoming sticky.
