Preparing Brown Rice
Brown rice may be used instead of white rice in many recipes. It tastes especially good in salads, stuffing, stews and vegetarian dishes. Brown rice is available in three sizes according to the USA Rice Federation :

Long-grain rice: produces light, dry grains that separate easily.

Short-grain rice: yields fat, almost round grains with a higher starch content than the other two varieties; the grains stick together when cooked.

Medium-grain rice: has a size and characteristics between the other two rice varieties.
The USA Rice Federation recommends following package directions for preparing brown rice. If no directions are available, they suggest the following method.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARING BROWN RICE

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked brown rice
2-1/4 cups liquid (water, broth, juice)
1 tablespoon butter or margarine (OPTIONAL)
1 teaspoon salt (OPTIONAL)
NOTE: 1 CUP UNCOOKED BROWN RICE YIELDS ABOUT 3 TO 4 CUPS COOKED RICE

Directions: Top of Range, Microwave Oven, Rice Cooker

Top of Range

Combine 1 cup rice, 2-1/4 cups liquid, 1 teaspoon salt (optional), and 1 tablespoon butter or margarine (optional) in 2- to 3-quart saucepan.

Heat to boiling; stir once or twice.

Reduce heat; cover and simmer. Cook for 45 to 50 minutes. If rice is not quite tender or liquid is not absorbed, replace lid and cook 2 to 4 minutes longer. Fluff with fork.
Microwave Oven

Combine 1 cup rice, 2-1/4 cups liquid, 1 teaspoon salt (optional), and 1 tablespoon butter or margarine (optional) in 2- to 3-quart deep microwave baking dish.

Cover and cook on HIGH 5 minutes or until boiling.

Reduce setting to MEDIUM (50% power) and cook 30 minutes. Fluff with fork.
Rice Cooker

The USA Rice Federation recommends following individual manufacturers’ directions when using a rice cooker. In general, they advise that “all ingredients are combined using 1/4 to 1/2 cup less liquid than for the top-of-the-range method.”

TIPS ON SELECTING A RICE COOKER

If cooking rice seems like too much fuss and an uncertain outcome, consider trying a rice cooker.

A rice cooker features an inner pan that rests above a heating element. Specific ratios of water and rice are added to the cooker. Rice cookers determine when the rice is done by sensing

the temperature of the inner pan.

Helpful features include:

Glass lid to view cooking process
Hole in lid so steam escapes
Nonstick pan
Pointers to successfully use a rice cooker include:

Read the directions that come with your rice cooker to learn how much rice and liquid to use for different types of rice. Check how long rice may be left in the cooker on the “keep warm” setting. Some cookers recommend removing brown rice shortly after it is cooked.

Be aware when the directions refer to “cups” of rice, they usually refer to the cup or scoop that comes with the cooker. This may be smaller than a typical 8-ounce cup.
