How to cook long grain brown rice without it being crunchy when it's done?!


Question: Every time I cook plain long grain brown rice (not rice-a-roni with flavoring) according to the package directions, it comes out being slightly crunchy, not soft & fluffy like white rice. How can I make it better?

A 4 quart pressure cooked , use a 1-1 ratio of rice and water , recomend 2 cup minimum . bring water to a boil and add rice , close lid and when presure is reached turn heat down to low and let cook for 12 - 15 minites , remove from heat and let the presure drop . open when ready to serve , if the presure hasn't droped and you are ready to serve run warm water over top of pan ,
as a ps , the burnt rice that sticks to bottom of pot is served to children in the orient and is concidered like candy

Sure fire method--add the amount of water you normally do, a little olive oil--couple tsp.--and cook on high in your microwave for 20 min. Stir, add 1/2 to 1 cup more water, cook 20 more min on high.For great taste, add a tbsp butter, a few chives, parsley, little diced celery. Report It

  • I have the same problem. Hope you get a solution.

    Throw in another cup of water and cook another 6 minutes. That ought to do it.

    Just follow the directions exactly cooking it at the longest time and make sure rice it covered and on low, low, low. Low and Slow.

    Add a little more water, but not to much. Allow it to cook low and monitor it. Good luck
