Perfect Brown Rice in a Rice Cooker

Using a rice cooker is the easiest way to make perfect brown rice. It's easy and healthy!

In this guide, you'll learn the water-to-rice ratio, cooking time for both long and short grain brown rice. Let's get started!

When cooked, short grain rice tends to be stickier, while long grain rice ends up having more individual grains.

Because it's sticky, short grain rice is great in sushi and for risotto recipes. Long-grain is great in pretty much anything else!
