How do I make brown rice in a bamboo steamer?
You need to buy a humidifier.
Would probably be easier to look up some guides online instead of asking /ck/
Are there actually any benefits to using a bamboo steamer over cooking it in a pot or rice cooker?

Nope. It's just a different method.
You use a pot idiot
You don't, you use a pan or a pot. Brown rice is too hard to be cooked in a steamer.

>That's not how you cook rice
Tell that to the Thais. Pic related is the thai rice steaming setup. Rice goes in the basket on top, water in the bottom.

You still cook the rice in boiling water until it is tender then steam it. It is the same method you use with any rice steamer. The reason rice is steamed like that is to make it fluffier.

No, it's cooked entirely in the basket.
>>make it fluffier
It's for sticky rice you retard, it's not "fluffy".

Do some research (and maybe learn how to cook) before you post, you fucking idiot.

Food+Heat= cooking.
