Hey /ck/

What's the best way to cook brown rice?

I used to be really shit at cooking white rice, but I finally got it coming out perfect each time on my shitty ass stove. 2c water, 1c rice, 1tsp salt, black pepper, a tiny tiny sprinkle of sugar, some sesame or olive oil. Boiled water, turned down to medium on my stove, covered for 15min, then 5 min off the heat still covered.

Should I just do that for my brown rice? Same technique and all, but increase the cooking time to 30min on the heat, and 10 min off? Should I bump it up to 3c water to 1c brown rice?

Thanks for any help.

Boil it like you would pasta. When it's done, drain it, dump it back in the pot and leave covered for 15-20 minutes to steam a bit longer.

Add appropriate amount of rice and water to cooker. Close lid. Press "Brown Rice" button.

1. Throw the brown rice out
2. Buy some white rice

This. Alternatively, 2.5ish:1 water to rice. Boil, then simmer on low for about 30-40 minutes until done. Fold/fluff with fork, etc. Rice cookers really are worth it, though.

They are expensive, but the Zojirushi brown rice cookers are fantastic. Takes 2 hours, but the rice is perfect every time.

I have this,

>>7197686

and while I've never done a full 5 (rice) cups, it's never taken 2 hours.

It's definitely over one hour, but I usually plan ahead and set the timer if I plan on making brown rice.

In any case, it turns out perfect every time.
