Anyone love their rice cooker..please share any FAVORITE recipes...maybe I'm doing something wrong
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE be careful when following these directions. I had a mishap with my first rice cooker. My microwave didn't go down to 50% power, so it continued on HIGH as it cooked my brown rice, and after about 25 minutes it overheated and melted.jcsmilez said:For Brown Rice
2 Cups Brown Basmati Rice
4 Cups water (use 1 can Swanson's Chicken Broth as part of that liquid)
1. Place rice and water in Rice Cooker Plus. Attach both lids.
2. Microwave on high for 28 to 30 minutes.
3. If you still see some liquid, put it in a couple more minutes then let it set for a bit.
4. Add 4 Tablespoons of butter. Stir after it's melted. Enjoy!

It's like any cooking tool - you need to tweak it sometimes. If your rice comes out gummy or water is still present at the bottom, stir it and return it to the microwave on high for a minute or two. If your rice is dry and clearly overcooked, reduce the total minutes cooking by 5 at a time and see if your results improve.
I have had about 2 pots of gummy mess, but have been 30-40 pots successful with RiceARoni, Chinese sticky rice (calrose rice on the bag), Uncle Ben's brown rice, Chinese brown rice, and Minute Rice. Also, my microwave has a rice button--I just put it on for the number of cups to be cooked and let it go: works great!
