Brown rice suggestions?
Can anyone offer a good brand of brown rice to buy that don't take so long to cook?
I just purchased the kind in a bag like regular rice (long grain).
It took me 45 minutes to cook according to directions.
Is this normal with brown rice?

I can not remember the brand name, but I am eating some "instant" brown rice right now. I think it has the same nutrition facts as the long cooking stuff, certainly tastes the same, but it only takes 10 minutes in the microwave. Browse around for the faster cooking stuff near the pasta at your grocery store.

just get a rice cooker. The one i have automatically shuts off when its finished cooking. You keep it on the warm setting and you just let it sit in the cooker till your finished eating all of your rice

I've got Uncle Ben's brown rice in a box and it cooks in 10 minutes I believe.

Place a cover on the pot, and set burner to high.

I did it like this, 2.5 cups water, 1 cup rice, small amt. salt. I brought it to a boil, reduced heat, added cover and let simmer for until water was cooked down or close to 45 minutes. Maybe another brand is worth checking into. Otherwise, my electricity bill is going to increase real soonOriginally posted by millertime

"Test all things; hold fast what is good.": 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

Boil the water in a kettle first.
Then pour onto the rice and put on the stove.
Brown rice generally takes 20 minutes from boiling point."Geordie/'d3c:di/n. & adj. Brit colloq. n. 1 a native of Tyneside. 2 the dialect spoken on Tyneside. adj. of or relating to Tyneside, its people, or its dialect. [the name George + -IE]

Brown Rice is a bitch. I always either under-cook it or over-cook it. I stick to oatmeal
, it's pretty nasty but then again so is brown rice.

You can get the boil in bag brown rice and it takes about 10 minutes to cook. After cooking just cut ope n the bag(s) and throw the rice into some tupperware and put in the fridge. I also have a rice cooker that you use to cook rice in the microwave. I am not sure who makes it but you should be able to find one in a store that sells cooking ware. As far as the rice cooker goes it is hard to get the rice just right, either over or under cooked.

Stevia and cinammon help(oatmeal taste) but it's still nasty.
"In the grand scheme of things, both things are quite superficial(obsessed with being muscular&ripped and incredibly strong). And yet lifting can teach you so much. My time at the gym--at least when I'm lifting--is invariably the high-point of my day. There aren't any questions; I almost don't even think. I go into an almost meditative trance-like state. Day-to-day worries become insignificant. I'm focused solely on the weight, and my reason for existence is clear. To move the bar and to improve on what I accomplished last time. Seldom are things so simple." - Blood&Iron
"Most people cannot understand what burns in our blood, the gym is our addiction and iron is our drug. People don't understand why we commit hours a day to a goal where progress is so small it seems immeasurable, why we do cardio instead of watch TV, why eat 6 meals a day, why we insist on ordering diet soda or how we can drink skim milk. Most people will simply never grasp why we refuse to settle for a mediocre body." - Severed Ties
