Brown Rice

Here are 3 ways to cook BROWN RICE:

Here is how we like it- it makes a well cooked brown rice- no crunch.
This makes 3 c. cooked rice, so it serves 6 people (1/2c per serving)
INGREDIENTS:
2 c. water
1 c. rice
1/2 t. salt (omit if you want to use it for rice cereal)
1/2 t. oil (to prevent foaming)

1-PRESSURE COOKER DIRECTIONS:
1. Place all ingredients in pressure cooker. Check rubber band seal. Put lid and weight in place.
2. Turn stove to "high" and bring to pressure (sound increases, red valve lifts, lid locks tighter)
3. Turn stove to "med-low"= #3, and start timer for 22 minutes.
(Stay nearby in case you need to remove from heat from an improper seal)
5. When timer beeps, remove from heat and let it cool down naturally until pressure releases
(the red valve drops, the pot often "sighs", and the weight doesn't release steam if tilted.)
(This may take 10, 20, or 30 minutes depending on whether you single, double, or triple the recipe)
6. Remove weight and lid and serve!
(This is Donny's favorite texture)

2- STOVE TOP DIRECTIONS:
1. Place all ingredients in a pot on the stove. (Can soak first if desired)
2. Bring to a boil with the lid off.
3. Place lid on and turn down the heat to simmer.  Set timer for 30 minutes.
4. Turn off the heat, but leave lid on and sit for 15 minutes.

3-OVEN DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350*
2. Boil water in a large oven-safe pot with a tight sealing lid.
3. Add rice when water is boiling and put a tight lid on.
4. Turn off stove but let pot sit on it and simmer until oven is preheated.
5. Place pot in preheated oven, then turn oven off, and let sit 2 hours.
(this texture has a bit of a crunch to it)
