How do I cook brown rice in my Black+Decker RC506 rice cooker?

[JeremiahLynn]

Cooking brown rice in your Black+Decker RC506 6 Cup Rice Cooker is simple. First, measure your brown rice using the included measuring cup. Rinse the rice under water to remove excess starch, then drain. Place the rinsed rice in the cooker's bowl. Add water, using a 1:1.5 rice-to-water ratio. For instance, use 1.5 cups of water for every 1 cup of brown rice. Add seasonings if desired. Place the bowl into the cooker, secure the lid, and plug it in. The "warm" light will come on. Push the cook switch down; the "cook" light will illuminate, and cooking begins. Once the rice is cooked, the switch flips up, switching to "warm." For optimal results, let the rice rest on warm, lid on, for 15 minutes to steam further. Stir before serving. Always unplug and allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning. Note that cooking time can vary based on the brown rice type, so check for doneness and adjust cooking time as needed.
