Thank you for sharing this! I follwed the directions on the back of the package of brown rice and it came out watery and I had to cook it a lot longer. I searched on here for a recipe, and I'm so glad I picked this one! I may use chicken broth in place of tbe water next time to up the flavor factor, but overall, this is a fool proof way to cook brown rice!

    The first time I tried brown rice I did not enjoy it, but this was great. I just used it for "Brown Rice and Vegetable Saute". I will use this recipe often.

    This is a terrific way to make brown rice. It came out perfect. I used to bake my brown rice, but it always came out a little wet. I won't be baking my brown rice anymore! Thanks!

    I sometimes add chopped garlic to the pot. I spray the pot with Pam, saute for a couple of minutes, then continue. Perfect
