Tired of mushy, gummy, or not-quite-cooked-enough brown rice? This is my foolproof method to cook perfect brown rice that's fluffy every time! Below I'll show you how to cook brown rice on the stove-- rice cookers aren't the only way to success! 
Perfect Brown Rice
I'm a big fan of brown rice but it wasn't always that way. There was a long time that I was convinced that brown rice had two ways of being served-- chewy and hard or complete mush. I don't know why I had never had properly cooked brown rice before, but I just hadn't.
It wasn't until I learned to make it this way that I actually started liking it. It's been years since I figured this out and I honestly can't remember where I read about this method, but it truly is the best way to cook brown rice.
And now, I rarely make white rice anymore! My kids don't ask for it and I actually prefer the hearty, nutty taste of brown rice compared to the white.
Also, this perfect brown rice method doesn't take 5 bazillion years to cook! Just 30 minutes, which is quite an improvement from the hour+ I was cooking it on the stovetop before.
Are you ready for this? It's so stinkin' simple.
How To Cook Brown Rice on the Stove
Boil some water in a big pot just like you would for pasta.
Pour your desired amount of rice into the boiling water, just like you would pasta.
Let it boil, just like you would pasta, for 30 minutes. Try a piece and see if it's tender enough for you. If not, just keep boiling.
If it is cooked how you like, pour the rice and water into a colander and drain off the water. Then, quickly pour the rice back into the pot and cover it. You'll let it "steam" like this for 5 minutes.
After it's had a chance to steam, just fluff it up with a fork and you're ready to eat!
Pretty simple huh? If you try this perfect brown rice method, I'd love to hear what you think! It's definitely made getting our whole grains into our meals a whole lot easier!

I wanted to learn more about the Jeep Compass's capabilities, especially for off-roading, and I found .../avtomobili/compass extremely useful. The page provides insights into the Compass’s performance under various conditions and highlights its advanced 4x4 systems. The clear explanations of the technology integrated into the vehicle, like the driver assistance systems, made it clear that this could be the right choice for my adventurous lifestyle.
