PERFECT BROWN RICE IN A STEAMER
We've started eating whole grains and that means we now eat brown rice instead of the starchy white rice. But it takes so long to cook it, so I was trying to find the correct formula for making it in my rice steamer. So I could cook it on the weekends and have it ready to go for the week. This "recipe" makes about 6 cups, which for my family is two dinners worth plus some. I've also included freezing instructions for the extra servings.
