Rice Cooker Variation: Stir 2¼ cups water, 1 cup brown rice, 1 teaspoon oil or butter, and ½ teaspoon salt together in the cooking chamber of a rice cooker. Cover, and cook according to manufacturer's directions. If rice remains too crunchy for your taste, add several tablespoons water and restart cooking. Machine will automatically shut off when additional water has been absorbed.
