How to cook brown rice

Perfect Brown Rice


For the longest time, Tim and I were mystified by brown rice. All too often it would turn out too mushy. Hey, I didn't want risotto!

Last week, we tried this recipe from productivity freak, Steve Pavlina, and I've gotta say: it's a winner. The rice comes out pearly, slightly chewy, without the slightest hint of mush.


  1. Bring 1 cup of rice and 1.5 cups of water to the boil (scale up if you want more rice).

  2. Turn the heat down, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 20 minutes.

  3. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit in the covered pot for at least 10 more minutes.

  4. Eat.
