- Rice cooker, simple question?
I bought a rice cooker and the instructions are only in Spanish, which I can't read currently. I would like to know the measurements of how much water to rice for brown rice and white, as I'll be doing both. Please be descriptive. I tried googling it, but couldn't find any charts for some reason. Thank you so much!
A With the rice cooker, use two cups water to one cup of rice. Since I don't know how your timer is calibrated, if you have a see-through top, keep an eye on it. If it appears that the water has cooked down, it is certainly done. Brown rice may take about 1/2 cup more water. Try not to take off the top while cooking as it lowers the temp, and delays the cooking. Rice cookers take longer than on top of the stove.I had one years ago when I married a Cajun from Louisiana, and I wanted my rice to be perfect. Today, I use a regular pot with a see through top, put two cups of water to one cup of rice (white or brown). For white rice, bring to a boil uncovered; turn fire down to low and cover, cook for about 20-25 minutes. There should be no water visible at the top. When done, it should sit about 5 minutes, and then fluff with a fork. For brown rice, bring to a boil uncovered, then turn fire down, cover and cook for about 40-50 minutes. Brown rice does take longer, and it will have a nuttier taste and not as soft texture, but it is excellent, both tastewise and healthwise. Rice is one of the dishes that you learn with practice and the brand/type of rice you use. The above is basic for most rices. Hope this helps.

- Rice cooker question...?
I have a Trader Joe's Basmati Rice Medley. Basically basmati rice, wild rice and some dried veggies. I want to use my rice cooker but on the back it has stove top instructions for 1c. rice mixture, 2c. water and 1T. butter. Should I use the same measurements even though its in my rice cooker?? Are websites that have converstion charts or anything for rice cookers??
A I have experimented with Rice-A-Roni in the rice cooker and it comes out perfect, even though cooking instructions are for the stovetop. Basically you would place the 1 cup of rice mixture and 2 cups of water and the butter all in the rice cooker. The job of the rice cooker would do the same thing on the stovetop automatically. So yes, you may use the rice cooker to make the Basmati Rice Medley!
