(More customer reviews)On my first try, cooking rice in my new rice cooker, I used long grain brown rice and followed the directions in my Hamilton Beach manual - using so many liters of water with so many cups of rice. My rice cooker stopped cooking after 70 minutes (way too long!) and the cooker still had about an inch and a half of water left on top of the rice. I could have made rice pudding with the consistency of the slop I ended up with. I was bound and determined to make this rice cooker work for me so I tried it again, using the cooking directions on the package of rice instead. On my next try I scooped 4 of their (6 oz) cups of long grained brown rice and added exactly 8 of their (6 oz) cups with water. I added 2 teaspoons of salt and started the cooker. It was perfect rice! After 48 minutes or so of cooking, the cooker switched from cook to warm. After about 10 minutes I used the spatula that comes with the rice cooker and stirred the rice from the bottom up. I added a couple of tablespoons of margarine to the mix and replaced the top. The consistency and flavor was perfect! I now love my rice cooker! My mom taught me years ago, when getting ready to cook rice, stick your middle finger in the pot until the tip of your finger touches the top of the rice. If the water level is even with your big knuckle, you've added the right amount of water. I did the knuckle test before I started my rice cooker. It really works!
