BROWN RICE

Steps:

• To cook brown rice quickly, soak it in the water for 2 hours or longer in advance. It can be put to soak the night before or in the morning.
• Bring the rice and the soaking water, with salt and pepper to taste, to a boil; reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until water has evaporated and rice is fluffy.
• If rice is not presoaked, it will take 40 to 45 minutes to cook.

MASTER RECIPE: BROWN RICE

Steps:

• The Right Ratio: Trust us: Though it's printed on the package, the standard 2-to-1 ratio makes mushy rice. For long-grain brown rice, use 1 1/4 cups water to 1 cup rice. For short-grain, use 1 1/2 cups water.
• Quick Cooking Time: Bring rice, water, and salt (1/4 teaspoon per cup of rice) to a boil. Cover, and reduce to a slow, steady simmer. Many recipes call for 50 minutes, but we think 30 minutes is plenty. A wide, shallow pot with a tight-fitting lid ensures evenly cooked grains.
• Steam and Fluff: Let the cooked rice sit for 10 minutes, covered, to absorb maximum moisture; then remove the lid, and fluff the grains with a fork.
