Tips/Techniques

To cook brown rice, place 1 cup uncooked rice and 2 cups water into saucepot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes or until water has disappeared and rice is tender without being mushy. This will yield about 3 cups of cooked rice. Cooked brown rice can be refrigerated for up to 7 days. In tightly sealed freezer containers or bags, it can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months.
