Soak the brown rice in water for a while before cooking and add a lot more water and let it sit after it's done. It's best not to cook brown rice in a rice cooker bro

rice cookers are good but i dont even use mine anymore.
I buy uncle bens boil in bag brown rice and take 4 bags at a time and submerge them in boiling water for 15 minutes and that shit is PERFECT man, soft as hell and perfect.
I put a little peach salsa on my rice to make it taste good, too.

At your local super market. Uncle Ben's boil in a bag brown rice. They have other brands as well...it depends where you shop!

yeah walmart, anywhere really...i cook up a bunch at one time (which only takes 15 minutes like I said) and put it in a plastic container in the fridge so its ready to go.
1 cooked cup is like 35 or 36g carbs, and like i said add a little peach salsa and its right

That sounds good bro..I'll have to try that. Brown rice is so f'ing redundant when dieting. or else I use Calrose sticky rice- and that you can cook in a rice cooker!!!

I've been cooking regular brown rice in a rice cooker for years with no prob. The measure is 1:1.75 rice:water
I always rinse the rice a few times before cooking. Takes away any dust/dirt that may have settled on it while packaging.

you def have to soak the brown rice in water. It's a tougher grain so it requires longer cooking times. Water will help

I have a rice cooker and it works great for brown rice. all i eat is brown rice. no white for me. its a cheep one my wife got at one of these papered cheif parties or something like that. like 25 dollars. u put it in microwave for 35 mins
it works much better than my very expensive rice cooker if you just want to cook rice and not stew

Boil-in-bag means half the nutrients you're eating the brown rice for get leached into the cooking water and poured down the drain.
