What is the fastest way to cook brown rice?
Like white rice, brown rice is available in short, medium, and long grains. Long grain rice produces fluffy grains that separate easily and contain less starch than short grains. Quick-cooking and instant brown rice save on cooking time and should be prepared according to package directions. Because the bran is intact, brown rice turns rancid more quickly than white rice. Be sure to check the package for a use-by date. Store brown rice in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. It will keep longer when refrigerated. One cup uncooked long grain brown rice yields about 3 cups cooked rice. It can be eaten plain, used as a base for stir-fries, or as an ingredient in pilafs, soups, casseroles, salads, and desserts. Substitute cooked brown rice for white rice in most recipes. In a medium saucepan bring 2 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt to boiling. Slowly add 1 cup long grain rice and, if desired, 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, and return to boiling. Reduce the heat and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook about 45 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Do not remove the lid during cooking since proper cooking relies on the development of steam inside the pan. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork before serving.Tip: You can substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons instant chicken bouillon granules for the salt if you like. Tip: Once the rice returns to boiling, reduce heat to low. If the heat is too high, the rice will burn on the bottom of the pan while the rest of the rice is still not done. Tip: A glass lid is helpful to tell if the water is absorbed without removing the lid and letting out the steam.This is a convenient and fail proof way to cook brown rice in Rice cooker.. Since cookers vary, follow the directions that come with the cooker, including how much rice and water to add. As with the saucepan method, do not remove the lid during cooking. Many cookers also have a keep-warm setting that comes on automatically when rice is done cooking.

Does anyone use a pressure cooker?
I use my pressure cooker for a few things...I cook dry beans (cannellini, garbanzo, pinto, etc.)...they get all creamy & yummy. Also I precook my babyback ribs in my pressure cooker, it softens & deeply flavors them, then they turn-out really tender off the grill. Next I cook my sweet brown rice to make Amasake. And, if I need chicken meat for a recipe, I pressure cook it...the flavors are incredible & the meat is extremely tender! Of course all these foods cooks faster in a pressure cooker, but my main reason to use it is for the flavor it forces into the foods... I hope this helps, you should try it for something...try a recipe from your book. I recommend a stainless steel pressure cooker!
