Cooking Tips
This is a basic dish. Season as desired. You can also add items such as cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu.
If cooking just brown rice in the Gourmet Cooker, use 1 cup rice to 2 cups water; bring to a boil on medium heat and then place on the Slo Cooker Base at setting #4 for 45 minutes. Too long a cooking time will give soggy rice.
