Our cookbook, Love Real Food, is here! This stovetop brown can you freeze basmati rice recipe yields perfectly fluffy brown rice, every time, with any variety. You’ll never want to cook brown rice any other way!
Learn how to make perfectly fluffy brown rice, every time, no rice cooker required! Repeat after me: No more mushy rice! I’ve been using this brown rice cooking technique for years, and it never fails. It’s so easy to remember, you’ll never need to look up how to cook brown rice again. For this technique, you’ll boil your rice in an abundance of water for 30 minutes. Drain off the excess water, return the rice to the pot, cover, and let the rice steam for 10 minutes.
I originally found this technique on Saveur, and I’m so thankful I did. I’ve learned that it really only needs 6 cups. However, you don’t actually have to measure the water as long as you’re using a large enough pot. If too much water evaporates during the cooking process, just add more and return the water to a boil. Your rice will still turn out perfectly! Once you try this easy technique, you’ll never want to cook brown rice any other way.
