The main way I cook brown rice. It does require longer, prep but the rice cooks up so nicely not like soggy brown rice. I always make a 9x13 pan size, and freeze half of it for a later meal. Adapted from Mel's Kitchen Cafe.
3 cups brown rice
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water (if using water,
add 1 teaspoon salt)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 9x13 glass*
baking pan. Place the rice in the prepared pan and pour in the liquid. Stir to
equally distribute the rice. Cover tightly with a double layer of aluminum foil
and bake for 1 hour and 10-15 minutes. I
like to check it after 1 hour, peeking at the bottom to make sure it’s not
burning. Remove from the oven and let
sit for 5-10 minutes before removing the aluminum foil and fluffing with a
fork.
*If your rice still has a bit of liquid on the bottom or
conversely, if it is dried out, adjust the baking time up or down to make changes. I like to use a glass pan so I can check on
it before fluffing it. One hour and
fifteen minutes is usually perfect in my oven.
