Perfect Rice Cooker Rice & Beans 

I am from Belize and I searched rice and beans in rice cooker and I am very happy to have found you! Thanks 🙏🏾

You are the first person to explain the finger measure method in a way that I understood! Thanks!

i have same rice cooker and i wanted beans/rice with some chicken quesadillas so i measured my rice like normal added water...then half can of black beans. threw some onions/garlic/salt/pepper for seasonings...cooked it in 20 mins. turned out good...i think im gonna use beef broth and more seasonings next time. good video!

Thank you so very much for making this!!! My husband is Belizean and I love the crockpot and rice cooker. Thank you so much for doing this. You are the best.

I bought a Pressure Cooker about a year ago, but it fell down and broke the Handle. I then got 2 Free Rice Cookers, a Aroma 10 Cup stainless Steal, and a Z0 Jirusai 10 Cup , and I learned to cook "Beans & Rice" from a Friend from Belieze in 1977, we worked (for free) at a Homeless Shelter in Oklahoma City, "The Jesus House" and Everybody Loved "Rice & Beans" we cooked it in a Huge Cooker (Had to cook for 50 Hungry Winos! ) I am 67 Years old and Love Brown Beans (pinto Beans) and 'Sweet Corn Bread" which my Grandmother called 'Mexican Corn Bread" she used 'Cream Corn" in the Corn Bread , and Jalepieno peppers, The Corn Bread was 'Moist and Juicy" inside, very 'Mouth Warming." Here in San Francisco ALL KINDS of Del Sur Americano Foods are available, Guatemalia, Mexico, Central America, South America, all is Here. Being Senior I get 'Meals on Wheels," but I Cannot Afford to eat on Cafes, you can not get a Meal less than 15 DllsUS. Even a Burrito is $9.00 but I have Stove and Convection Oven.....& pots and Pans. BTW I lived in Colonia Aleman, Tinuana, MX for a couple years and Get Too Fat.....food was Affordable at Restrants in TJ. There was a Chinese Place 2 Blocks away, for 35 Pesos a Chinese Take out ($4.00 DllsUS) I could eat for Supper and Breakfast next day. I always cooked Pinto Beans and Threw in Rice and Diced Potatoes after soaking overnight. Lots of Gringoes don't not Know to Soak the Beans.....Oy Vey! But with a Pressure Cooker one need not Soak. And all beans and Rice MUST BE "PICKED THROUGH" for Stones and Husks....I clean the Husks while Soaking they Rise to Top, but the Stones gotta be Eyeball & Fingers. If you ever Break a Teeth eating Sweet Yummy Brown Beans you learn to Enjoy Using the Finger and Eyeball to remove stones. LOL. Love your channel...a OLD MAN.

I was born in Belize and I love this recipe. I had rice and beans for lunch today!

at 6:04 you said, "the pot knows some way some how there is no water". Please allow me to explain. The pot has a thermostat, when ever it gets hotter than 212 degrees it will turn to warm mode. Water boils at 212 degrees, and when all water evaporates everything left in the pot, will start to get hotter, and then the thermostat in your pot will switch to warm.

Wow, your daughter's bowl and lid are amazing for a seven-year old! Great video, thanks for teaching.

Hi Andrew, The brand is Aroma. I really love it. You can open beans from the can add rice and do exactly what I did and you will have perfect rice and beans.

This is good. I did not know that Belizeans do rice and peas like Jamaicans. That was nice I would love to taste it.

I earlier this month got the exact same rice cooker and I'm going to be using it for the first time tonight to cook my rice and beans.

Rice and beans,we love it here in Brazil.

THank you so much for this easy recipe i live alone and i sometimes have no clue as to what to cook. i am not from a country that cook rice and beans like south american countries so this tasty dish in a rice cooker is a winner for me, i am going to try it out tomorrow with coconut milk and see how it comes out. wish me luck

Could put some oil or coconut oil in bottom first to keep from burning bottom. Love your channel and recipes!

This looks delicious! My mom always makes rice and beans but she never uses coconut milk, it's kinda new for me to hear that you can put coconut milk in the rice! I'll ask my mom to try doing that sometime! :D

Thank you for your video presentation on how to cook rice with beans. We cook rice with sweet potatoes in Maca-as, Catmon, Cebu, Philippines. But you have opened new ways of preparing the rice for us using the rice cooker.

so pretty..yes requires expderimenting esp types of rice....have you tried with brown rice..i can't eat white ricd anymore (diabetes)...so i would love to do it with brown rice.

You sad you used to search for Stones and other things in the rice when you where a kid. Funny how I forgot about that, one of the few things I did with my grandmother. Really happy I don't have to do that anymore with every meal.

I have just received my Aroma today from amazon . I have only cooked two thinks rice and red potatoes. Both were real good. Its amazing to me that the closer you got to the bottom of the cooker it seemed like the contents kept growing. Like you cooked a bunch of food . I noticed that when I dipped my rice out. When will I ever reach the bottom LoL Thanks for sharing your recipe. I am gonna try this one next.

Thank you so much for this!

Thank you very much for posting this video I love mixed beans and rice and now I know I can cook this in my office for when I work in my small Aroma rice cooker. I cannot wait to try this out for myself. Looks Yummy especially when I am going to add chicken breast into the steaming tray and cook all at once. Very very good video maam.

I tried it and it came out really good! I did it with black beans. Thanks!

Great job on the presentation Barb, so true the amount of water is the key to getting soft fluffy rice n beans. I love my herbs, so I also add oregano, thyme, onion, bellpepper and rosemary to the mix. Coconut milk of course gives it the kick, but at time I substitute it for coconut oil ... and boy it's just as good.

with most rice cookers, when it stops you keep it on warm for 15-20 min.then you can eat

I really enjoy the cooking but most of all the interaction you have with your viewers. It makes you videos so interesting to watch Barbara.

gummy rice means too much water. When I measure, the tip of my finger touches the top of the rice and the water level should reach the first section of your finger.

THANK YOU! This the one dish I have tried to master.

Yum that looks deeelish!

You are awesome! Thanks for sharing your skills and keep up the good work.

the reason you had to go to da 3 line is because the beans add about a cup. the line is just the liquid and rice only

I really like the coconut idea. Going to try it.

God bless everyone and their family blessings thank you beautiful

Great video, you explained it so well and can't wait to try with my new rice cooker :))) thanks

Gonna look it up on my fav fav channel! Thanks

Thank you soooooo much God bless

Thanks for this great video. I just got my rice cooker and I am going to try it. Looks yummy.

I truly enjoyed your recipe and presentation!!

Excellent recipe and technique !

Yes I do.. its called Rice and Beans with Brown Rice.

Belizan? Woman let me tell you something - Panamanians and Belizans are really Jamaicans. Most of them came to those countries for the Panama Canal and other projects and never left. That's why you both cook like Jamaicans and have that accent similar to Jamaicans. And even the people are the same.Wonderful and loving.

Can I do the same thing in the aroma rice and grain cooker?

Thanks I love you Voice iam from Panama love that a lot. Thanks make in that pot

i need this in my life

That's wonderful movie thanks for sharing.

Delicious! I could eat 2-3 bowls like that for dinner. Plus one bowl of veggies, including extra garlic and a nice Habanero.

Hi! your recipes are awesome, my boyfriend is Belizean and I want to learn how to cook belizean food....he doesn't like rice and beans though.....but I like it..haha

Cannot wait to try this.

that looks good. good job woman

I cant cook..so maybe i will buy this rice cooker...I luvvvvv rice...

Can't wait to try this

when I use the rice cooker some of the rice sticks at the bottom what do I do?

Works great if you pay attention to instructions. ru-vid.comUgkxviiltW7NlHbp_VL_bLbIkbLAvILVhnia For those that complain about "mushy" or "wet" rice I suspect they are using the included cup to measure rice (which is really only 3/4 cup) and then putting in water using a separate measuring cup that is a full cup. This results in too much water and you will get mushy or wet rice and think it is not done. Just use the included cup for both rice and water, or your own measuring cup for rice and water according to your package directions. It will come out fine. I've used mine for years for brown and white rice. If your machine is bubbling white froth out of the steam vent then it means you should have rinsed your brand of rice first to remove some of the starch. Sheesh. Makes me wonder how people can cook well enough to feed themselves.

Great video

I just found you RU-vid and I am enjoying your videos. Question, what would you suggest to eat with the rice n beans (meat)? Thanks.

Yes...I always do this to make sure I have enough liquid. Joe however, is the 'Rice and Beans whisperer so he doesn't have to do this.....lol

Many thanks.

Wow, thank you...very informational and articulate :-)

My mom made pineapple rice and other types of rice ad well like - vegetables, parley, etc

ur rice bean is so delicious!

I am a college student so I don't have much room. Will a can of say Black/Kidney/White beans after washed work just as well?

False evidence appearing real! Love it!

Great video.

Do you have a recipe for Brown rice and beans?

I will check it out....thanks...

Good job !!!!!!!!

Thank u so much

I just made an observation not trying to change anything do what you do

Can anyone help! Do I need to boil the beans overnight? Or can I just cook them for 10 mins before their cooked with rice 😆

Hey this looks great but then you said you gotta be careful because it could burn at the bottom. Wow that's a bummer. Do rice cookers tend to burn rice? If so, what's the point, rice takes 15-20 minutes on a stove in a pan with a lid and if you cook it in a little bit of butter or oil, you'll never burn rice!

You need to use a Chinese measuring cup because it's smaller 😉

I have that same cooker, and I also found the rice needed extra water.

Needed to use more liquid from the start.

It goes on warm and won't go back on until it cools down.

Just curious.. Why always coconut milk? Ive never used it... or tasted it lol

YUMMMMMMY

What kind of rice cooker is that?

I love it! F.E.A.R False evidence appearing real. Thank you for this video!

What size rice cooker do you use?

do a video on Cuban rice please :)

Ah!!! That's my rice cooker!!! :D

what is the name of your rice cooker

i use my microwave on 60% power so it doesn't boil over. 15 minutes...done.

Your rice is mushy. I don't like mushy rice.

Why are you using metal forks in your rice cooker that why came with plastic spoon!!!

Your rice looks very mushy

She touches everything, the pot, the food, everything she touches, others are eating. GROSS. Her rice is completely overcooked. She has no clue what she is doing.

coconut milk!!!???!! Gross.

Stop using that fork in your cooker!

Really your recipe is so good but you are talking to much dear😂😂

Too dry.

Don't talk too much. Start cooking now Waiting how you cook
