Preparation and Measurement
Before cooking your brown rice in the Pampered Chef Rice Cooker, it’s important to properly prepare and measure your ingredients.
Step 1: Rinse the rice
Begin by rinsing the brown rice under cold water. This will remove any excess starch on the surface of the rice grains and ensure a fluffier texture once cooked.
Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under running water until the water runs clear. This step is essential for achieving the best results.
Step 2: Measure the rice and water
Next, measure the amount of brown rice you wish to cook. The recommended ratio for cooking brown rice is 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water.
Keep in mind that the Pampered Chef Rice Cooker has a capacity of 3 cups, so adjust the measurements accordingly if you are cooking a smaller or larger batch of rice.
It’s important to stick to the correct water-to-rice ratio for optimal results. Adding too much water can result in mushy rice, while using too little water can lead to undercooked rice.
Tip: If you prefer a softer texture, you can add an extra tablespoon of water for every cup of rice.
Step 3: Soaking the rice (optional)
Soaking the rice before cooking can help reduce the cooking time and improve the overall texture of the grains.
If you have the time, you can soak the brown rice in water for about 30 minutes before cooking. Drain the soaking water before adding the rice to the rice cooker.
Soaking can also help make the rice more digestible and promote better nutrient absorption.
Now that you have properly prepared and measured your ingredients, you are ready to cook your brown rice in the Pampered Chef Rice Cooker.

Step 3: Add the Rice and Water to the Rice Cooker
