My Oster DuraCeramic 6-Cup Rice Cooker: Cooking Black Rice 

Just follow the water to rice ratio on the package to get the correct done-ness of your rice.

Thank you so much for the kind words. :-) I love this rice cooker! I'm having so much fun with it too! Thanks again for watching! :)

Thanks for watching! :)

I'm so glad my videos are helpful to you! I found the black rice at my local grocery store that has a natural foods aisle. I used the brand Nature's Earthly Choice in the video, it's available online here as well as many other sites: www.vitacost.com/natures-earthly-choice-all-natural-black-rice-gluten-free?csrc=GPF-897034002281&csrc=GPF-PA&mtp=srEYR84pO-dc%7cpcrid%7c97670541013%7cproduct%7c897034002281&pgrid=16877535733&ptaid=pla-547291395110&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvqDiBRDAARIsADWh5TeM03uyapfVDHYBy-Qdh6E7y3fRy3JhDf2eYHXEaz1hgKAahnPP9h0aAlXeEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds There are also other brands of black rice, some less expensive. I just happened to have found this one locally. I'd bet that Whole Foods would be a good place to look. Have you checked out any of my blender videos? My blender was my first appliance diving into a healthier lifestyle for me and my husband. I use mine every single day! Thanks for watching! :)

helpfulnatural oh yes I’ve probably watched at lease every video at lease once. My blender is definitely a staple on my house along with my rice cooker and my electric pressure cooker!

Gotta love that pressure cooker! I was scared to death of them for years. But a few years ago I decided to swallow my fear and try it out. My first one was a Presto 6 quart stovetop model. It did a decent job but took forever to come up to pressure. I now have 2 different sized Fagor models that I LOVE! They come up to pressure much faster and are way easier to use than the Presto. :)

helpfulnatural you should definitely make a video on them! I’d love to see them in action. I just went the easy way out and bought an insta pot and power pressure cooker XL. Both work amazingly well.

@@dannialwilliams4 I think it's all a matter of preference as to what type of pressure cooker to use. I see the InstaPot everywhere and is extremely popular these days.

White rice is not suitable for people with diabetes, I am type 2, and I buy low GI white rice from India grocery store. Even though, we should not eat too much. Black rice has the lowest glycemic index. Make sure to wash the rice to get rid of the starch, especially the white rice.

Cooking rice in broth or stock works very well. So much more flavor.

Plastic? Do you mean the cooking pot? It is lined with ceramic so it is safer to use than traditional Teflon. I have a bunch of videos using my rice cooker. It's one of my favorite appliances in the kitchen! :-)

@@helpfulnatural wow it's lined with ceramic??? Oh that's why it's called duraceramic??? Hahaha I didn't put that together... thank you for clearing that up for me. I really like that pot I'm still watching more.

@@StayGold711 I use my rice cooker at least once per week. :-)

The brand is Nature's Earthly Choice and I purchased it from my local grocery store.

I don't soak my rice, just rinse well before cooking. And yes, rice expands when cooked.

Black rice has a sweet, nutty flavor and has a soft texture without being sticky. Thanks for watching! :)
