This was my first thought too!DebbieJ said:She shouldn't be making rice in the microcooker. She needs the rice cooker. Too much liquid escapes in the microcooker to cook it properly.

Joelen said:Brown rice generally needs more time to cook than standard white rice. As a result, its best to add a little more water (or broth). Also, I prefer using the rice cooker over the microcookers. The rice cooker allows the steam to really cook the rice, whereas the microcooker doesn't use the steam to cook, but rather allows it to escape.
The best way to cook brown rice in a microwave is to use a microwave-safe container with a lid, such as a glass or ceramic dish. Rinse the rice before cooking and add the desired amount of water (typically 1 1/2 - 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice). Cover the dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes, then reduce the power to 50% and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Let the rice sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Yes, you can use the same ratio of water to rice for cooking brown rice in a microwave as you do on the stovetop. However, you may need to adjust the cooking time depending on your microwave's power and the type of rice you are using.
Cooking brown rice in a microwave can be a quicker and more convenient option compared to stovetop cooking. It also allows for more precise control over the cooking time and temperature, resulting in evenly cooked rice.
Yes, you can add seasonings or other ingredients to the rice before cooking it in the microwave. Just be sure to adjust the amount of water accordingly to compensate for any additional moisture from the added ingredients.
To store leftover cooked brown rice from the microwave, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container and storing it in the refrigerator. It can be stored for up to 4 days. To reheat, add a splash of water to the rice and microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
