Cooking Brown Rice in a Microwave Rice Cooker: A Beginner's Guide

[carolcooks]

Has anyone ever cooked brown rice in the microwave rice cooker? My husband threw away my use and care guide and I'm not sure if it will work or not. If you have done so and it worked can you please provide directions on how you did it. I am new to brown rice and don't have a clue! Thanks!

you can print a new use and care behind CC.and yes, you can do brown rice. It obviously has to cook longer, but it works!

I need to go download that use and care guide. I also need to buy brown rice that has microwave directions on it, because I always just wing it and it turns out terrible, in fact, lately I've been only making brown rice on my stove, because I get sick of fussing with it! I love it for white rice but hate it for brown, BUT... I'm sure if I used the propper directions, then I'd love it!!! I just have not been able to figure it out on my own!

Hi there! Yes, I have cooked brown rice in the microwave rice cooker before and it worked perfectly. Here's how I did it:1. Measure out 1 cup of brown rice and rinse it in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear.
2. Place the rice in the microwave rice cooker and add 2 cups of water.
3. Close the lid and make sure it is secured.
4. Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
5. After 5 minutes, reduce the power to 50% and microwave for an additional 20 minutes.
6. Let the rice sit in the microwave for 5 minutes before opening the lid.
7. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy cooking!
