Notes

Olive Oil & Salt - This is optional.Adding salt and olive oil will give a better texture and taste.
Rice : Water Ratio - Ideally for fluffy non sticky brown rice i use 1:1.25 as the ratio.If you like your rice softer, use 1:1.5 ratio.
If you are soaking or delaying the cooking for more than 15 minutes, reduce the Rice water ratio is 1:1
Pressure Release- it is advisable to release the pressure naturally. Especially because rice can get stuck in the pressure valve when opened right after the cook time is over. 
If you are in a hurry, increase the cook time to 25 minutes, wait for 1 minute and release the pressure after that slowly and intermittently.
