I don't use a any cookers, though I occasionally think of getting a slow cooker. They probably all have non-stick surfaces, don't they?

I don't get the rice like pasta thing. Is it healthier? Or tastier? Probably need a fine strainer for it!
How To Cook Perfect Brown Rice
Q. In your post about rice and arsenic, you mentioned cooking rice like pasta to reduce the amount of any potential arsenic. Do you have a recipe for how to do that?
Sure. Here is the recipe, which will make about 4 cups of cooked brown rice.
Simple Perfect Brown Rice
Ingredients
2 cups whole grain brown rice
12 cups water
Instructions
1.Rinse rice in a strainer under cold running water for about a minute.
2.Bring the 12 cups water to a boil in a large pot over high heat.
3.Add the rice and boil, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes till done.
4. Pour the rice into a strainer and let the rice fully drain for a few minutes.
5. Return the rice to the pot, leaving the pot off the heat.
6. Cover the pot and let is sit, off the heat, for 10 more minutes.
Now you have perfect brown rice!

Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of noxious chemicals.
Another very important point. Similarly to controlling your genes to your greatest benefit, nutrition also greatly improves your body’s ability to handle nasty chemicals that could potentially do a lot of harm. Take Aflatoxin as an example. Aflatoxin is among the most toxic and carcinogenic chemicals ever discovered, and in Dr. Campbell’s own lab he was able to keep rats on an aflatoxin-laced diet completely healthy and cancer free just by controlling their nutrition. 0% of the animals on high protein plant-based diet developed cancer, while 100% of animals on a high protein milk protein-based diet developed cancer. Results don’t get much clearer than that. For a human example, studies following heavy smokers who practice a whole plant based diet have shown that they have lung cancer rates almost as low as typical non-smokers!
