Soak the brown rice in water for a while before cooking and add a lot more water and let it sit after it's done. It's best not to cook brown rice in a rice cooker bro



Posted by: Xtroy

Aww don't tell me that bro lol I spent like 50 on a rice cooker just for this how long do I leave it for?



Posted by: ManInBlack

rice cookers are good but i dont even use mine anymore.

I buy uncle bens boil in bag brown rice and take 4 bags at a time and submerge them in boiling water for 15 minutes and that shit is PERFECT man, soft as hell and perfect.

I put a little peach salsa on my rice to make it taste good, too.



Posted by: Xtroy

Boo I don't wanna not use it nooooo lool



Posted by: charley

a little butter.........or some soy sauce.......mmmmmmmmmmmm

At your local super market. Uncle Ben's boil in a bag brown rice. They have other brands as well...it depends where you shop!



Posted by: ManInBlack

yeah walmart, anywhere really...i cook up a bunch at one time (which only takes 15 minutes like I said) and put it in a plastic container in the fridge so its ready to go.

1 cooked cup is like 35 or 36g carbs, and like i said add a little peach salsa and its right

That sounds good bro..I'll have to try that. Brown rice is so f'ing redundant when dieting. or else I use Calrose sticky rice- and that you can cook in a rice cooker!!!



Posted by: ManInBlack

Yeah man I have some mild peach salsa, paul newman is the brand i think, and ill heat the rice up and then take a couple of spoonfuls of the salsa and stir it in....you are right about rice getting boring as shit and bland so try that out.

Cool. I just PM'd you to ask where I can find that! Sounds awesome..anything is better than plain brown rice!!!



Posted by: ManInBlack

Yeah I PM'd you bro, I looked and its called Newmans Own peach salsa, same isle as the rice at walmart

I've been cooking regular brown rice in a rice cooker for years with no prob. The measure is 1:1.75 rice:water

I always rinse the rice a few times before cooking. Takes away any dust/dirt that may have settled on it while packaging.

Really? Whole grain? I trying so many different ways I put 1 cup with 2 cups of water it's just hard when it comes out I've been eating weetabix instead I have a really good diet but i need the rice to be good or I'm fucked lol so how should I cook it? If it don't work il just have to get that Ben bag thingy?



Posted by: ManInBlack

lol @ ben bag thingy....

bro its just brown rice in little bags that you boil in water then cut the bag open after 15 minutes and dump it into a container and you're gold.



Posted by: Xtroy

Loo yh but I live in the uk I dntno if it's called that bro lol I'm about to sell my rice cooker it's new interested? Lol I've done my shoping so I won't be able to for another 2 weeks umm fuck I'm so pissed bro



Posted by: MuscleGauge1

you def have to soak the brown rice in water. It's a tougher grain so it requires longer cooking times. Water will help



Posted by: Xtroy

Yh I've put it on the stove now in just a pot of 3 cups of water it's ok now il just have to frigin sell my new rice cooker!! Ain't that a bitch lol

I have a rice cooker and it works great for brown rice. all i eat is brown rice. no white for me. its a cheep one my wife got at one of these papered cheif parties or something like that. like 25 dollars. u put it in microwave for 35 mins

it works much better than my very expensive rice cooker if you just want to cook rice and not stew



Posted by: desmorris

Well i never tried brown rice but after visiting this post and reading all of you people comments i will surely try brown rice too.



Posted by: ThreeGigs

Boil-in-bag means half the nutrients you're eating the brown rice for get leached into the cooking water and poured down the drain.

Posted by: Xtroy

Lol I brunt 8 eggs this morning lol I just don't know how to cook I try so hard I need a woman in my life man 4 real! Lol



Posted by: Big G

I've wondered about that boil in a bag rice myself. My wife came home with some, and I did eat it, and it was good, but I couldn't help but wonder WTF you have to do to rice (that should take 40 minutes to cook) to get it to cook that quick. Doesn't seem right. Not to mention cooking anything in a plastic bag seems dodgy as fuck too. Who knows what really transfers from the plastic to the food. I don't trust it.

For regular brown rice... Wash rice. Dump into plenty of boiling water. Wait 40-45 minutes, drain and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Delicious & easy.

brow rice cooked in chicken broth for the win!

??? 'cause all women can cook? Do you want her barefoot and pregnant too? Keep trying and Keep learning. A man that can cook is a turn on lots of women anyways. I can cook about anything. Plus there's no excuse nowadays bro. Bring your phone or tablet into the kitchen and watch vid on it or something while you're doing it.

+1 !!

There's nothing like being able to make bad-ass, expensive-restaurant-quality deeeelicious food (all on your own) right in your own kitchen.

Let her do the dishes afterwards.

good response.

Saying 'I cant cook and a woman needs to do it for me' is like saying women can lift weights or all men that cook must be gay!
