I have a fancy rice cooker I got at Goodwill,,,am using while I renovate my kitchen...but here's a tried and true, never fail rice recipe...it works on any kind of rice I've tried-sticky,short,long,brown,jasmine,plain white....
put 2 cups rice + 3.5 cups water into a pot, cover tightly,put on high on stove, as soon as it comes to a boil,turn it down to low(like 2 on an electric stove)
*here's the important part*
remove lid and quickly place a paper towel across the top,replace lid tightly. cook for recommended amount of time for that type of rice (brown rice takes about 45 min.,white takes about 15)
DON'T stir,or otherwise open the pot till the time's up!

when it's up, open pot,stir gently,I leave the paper towel on rice while we get dinner on the table,it absorbs just enough moisture to keep it perfect every time....
when my kitchen is done,I'm giving the rice cooker away....
