Rice Cookers

What is the right way to use the rice cooker and should I rinse the rice off 1st?????

Yes, you should always wash the rice and drain off the water three times to be sure to remove any impurities in the rice, but only wash the rice just before you are going to cook it.

So is that for Rice cookers as well and what about brown rice??????????????

[lvdkeyes]

I always wash all rice before I use it.

Wash rice until water runs clear. Use less water with a rice cooker: Example: 1-1/4 C water to 1 C long grain white rice. You can grease the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, too.
