It’s best to refer the instructions specific to your rice cooker, but as a general guide: White rice: 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water White long grain: 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water Brown rice: 1 cup of rice to 3 cups of water Basmati rice: 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. I like to put the oats and water in the cooker the night before to let soak so that all I have to do is switch the rice cooker on in the morning. The packet instructions for stovetop are 1 cup of grain mix to 3 cups of water, but in the rice cooker, I prefer 1 cup of grain to 2.5 cups of water. Place apples, any favourite flavourings (like cinnamon) in the rice cooker along with a little water to cover the bottom, so they don’t burn (about ¼ cup of water).
