It's easiest in the rice cooker, but make sure you get a large capacity one. It always makes a mess on the lid of my 3-cup rice cooker and that is so hard to clean since the lid is attached. Stove top is not as consistant and you have to watch for the fire. I've been meaning to try making rice in the oven, heard that is a good option too.

I just saute the rice in about a tablespoon of butter and some olive oil for about 3 minutes on a medium high heat. Then I add chicken stock (2 1@ cups to 1 cup of rice) and put it on a very low heat or simmer.....for about 40 minutes. Fluff with a fork. It works out perfectly every time.

2 1/2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice. Compass Rose showed perfectly how it could be done. If you don't want to do that, just put rice into pan with water, bring to boil, then turn the heat to simmer, cover and cook until water boils away.

I have tried and tried and tried...but..I don't love brown rice.
I still... no matter what, prefer jasmine or basmati.
No matter how healthy I eat...that is what I make or order.

I've heard cooking brown rice in chicken or vegetable stock makes it tastier. Depending on what kind of flavor profile you are going for, you could add some soy sauce after its done cooking for a better flavor. Or a tab of butter, salt and pepper never hurts either!

for softer brown rice, wash and soak before cooking.

I cook brown rice in a 3 cup rice cooker. You really have to rinse it very well before you start to cook it to remove some of the starch. Make sure the water runs clear. I let the rice soak in the water for a few hours before I start to cook it. It seems to help with preventing the water from boiling over during the cooking process.

I cook mine in a rice cooker and always rinse beforehand. I use brown jasmine rice, and I've never had any problems.

We just cook it in a rice cooker and it's good to go. It does taste different if you are use to Jasmine rice but you get use to it.

FWIW, my parents have noticed a difference in quality/tastiness between the brown rice they bought at Costo (blech) & the one they bought at an Asian grocery (better).

I like cooking rice in chicken broth instead of water. Gives it more flavor.
