BROWN RICE IN THE RICE COOKER

Steps:

• Spray your rice cooker pot with a non-stick cooking spray. This works wonders at keeping your rice from sticking and burning.
• Add your brown rice and water. While the typical rice-to-water ratio for white rice is one part rice to two parts water, brown rice works better if you go with one part rice to two and a half parts water.
• Add salt to taste.
• On a cutting board, press the flat edge of a knife on the cloves of garlic to squash them. Remove and discard the papery skin and drop the smashed cloves into the cooker.
• Add olive oil.
• Cover the pot and turn on the cooker. Expect brown rice to take a little longer to cook than white rice (about 30 to 40 minutes instead of 20).
