I was wondering how other people cooked/prepared brown rice. I have a small rice cooker and use that, but the texture of the rice is so hard that there must be a better way.
Also when I store it in the fridge for any period of time it literally turns into hard grains, and hurts my teeth to eat!
I know that brown rice is a good bbding food, I just think I must be missing something, cause mine is so bad.
I cook it it the rice cooker with 1 cup rice and 2 cups hot water.
Anyones tips or thoughts would be helpful...

i think brown rice takes longer to cook...mine does anyway. says cook on the hob for about 15-20 mins but was still hard so i left it on for another 10 mins and it was fine then

Yup Brown rice has a longer cooking time in the rice cooker than white rice. Either Thats probably why its still hard. They do sell rice cookers where you can change the setting so that the timing is different weather your cooking white or brown rice.

just boil water in a saucepan and put the rice in and keep checking it until its done. also don't store rice in the fridge

Thanks for those suggestions, I will keep experimenting with it, and wont put it in the fridge anymore!

i usually put some smart butter omega (which has 0 carb and 0 cholestrol) with the brown rice in the rice cooker( and it seems that the texture of the rice becomes soft(after taking forever to cook) compared to when you dont. Also there are some brands of brown rice that have instruction on the back how to cook and the one i have says to put butter in it. so i dont know. its upto you but i personally think it tastes better. and the ones i get are usually the cheapest one out there

[brickcity20]

correction: smart balance butter.lol
