"you can use chicken broth to cook your rice also, it makes it tastier. It depends on how much rice you want as to how much broth you will need. Don't lift lid or stir rice while it is cooking! It makes for a mushy rice. Long-grain brown rice: produces light, dry grains that separate easily. Short-grain brown rice: yields fat, almost round grains with a higher starch content than the other two varieties; the grains stick together when cooked. Medium-grain brown rice: has a size and characteristics between the other two rice varieties."
