Whats the fastest way of making brown rice?

[beachmuscles]

Is there any microwave rices that are worth buying? Are they still healthy? Low GI, etc.

Right now 85% of my carb intake is oats (about 3 cups uncooked a day) and a little Ezekial Bread.

I'm looking to drop a little more calories a day, so I'm thinking if I replace one of my 1 cup oat meals (48g carbs) to 1 cup rice (about the same carbs) I can shed 100 calories right there

Is that just as healthy as buying any other kind of rice, and using a rice cooker? I dont want to hurt my cutting progress.

Ingredients: PRECOOKED LONG GRAIN BROWN RICE

Doesn't seem bad at all. What kind of rice do you use of theres? I see they have quite a few different kinds.

I drop a veggie bouillion in the water.

Which kind do you use? And are these just as healthy as normal rice? And are these good for cuts?

ive used uncle bens ready rice... it only takes 90 seconds

I have a simple suggestion....

Take a cup of real brown rice and cook it the 40+ minutes it takes, and cook a cup of the instant stuff. Taste test them and decide for yourself if it is worth the extra time cooking.

IMHO, that 40+ mins is very well worth it. The flavor and texture difference is huge. It lasts for days in the fridge, and if you micro it just add a sprinkle of water before you nuke it.

EDIT: Sorry forgot to comment on flavor....

I use salt and pepper most of the time. Bouillion rocks, I prefer chicken, and sprinkeld on not cooked with the rice.

Texture is sometimes more important than taste, try frying the rice (like risoto [sp?]) for a few in olive oil then cooking it like normal. It gives it a bit more of a crunch and really brings out the nutty flavor of brown rice.

ready rice, 10 minute rice, boil in a bag, old school... all tastes the same

Are these microwave rices, good in a cutting diet? It seems like something must be bad about them compared to regular rice?
