I stood in the kitchen, over yet another slimy, failed, mushpot attempt at brown rice and declared rather loudly, "I will never try to make this again!" I decided Uncle Ben's and Minute Rice would just have to be the way of life for me.

But then....
I watched an old episode of Good Eats and Alton explained all things scientific about why I was always failing and then shared his fail proof method. And let me tell you, he was right!!

If anyone else has had a battle with the brown stuff like me, I urge you to try the recipe found here:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/baked-brown-rice-recipe.html

There's nothing mushy about it. There's nothing raw about it. There's nothing burnt about it. There's nothing flavorless about it.

Finally!

(and it also freezes very well) :wink:

    Thanks for the recipe. You might be surprised to know that parboiled rice (Uncle Ben's) has a lower glycemic value than even brown rice.

    Thanks for this! I love brown rice, but no matter what I do, it still comes out all crunchy when I make it.

    Looks good. Honestly I use the 'boil in the bag' stuff and it always turns out great, lol.

    Thanks for sharing. I'm not a fan of brown rice but someone recently told me about the benefits of brown rice and beans for breakfast so I'm going to try it. :)
