Make perfect brown rice every time! Never gummy. You can easily substitute it in recipes calling for rice without your family noticing!

3 cups brown rice
2 eggs
6 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil

Preheat oven to 350*.
Saute brown rice with 2 eggs, stirring constantly over medium heat until mixture is dry.

Add water and oil and pour into deep larger baking dish.
Bake at 350* for one hour.
DO NOT STIR!
DO NOT POKE!
DO NOT DISTURB!

Just LOOK at the rice after 30 minutes,and cover with foil at that time.

Makes 8 servings

I use a rice cooker or steamer. Then I never have to worry about ruining it. I like brown rice, but no one else here does, so it's usually white rice.

I add chicken or beef flavoring or make fried rice usually.

My rice cooker is one of my favorite appliances.

The recipe looks good and simple. I'll have to give it a try.

Does the rice cooker take a lot of time to cook rice?

I don't think so. I think it's slightly slower than stovetop, but not by much.

I start my rice as I'm prepping my meal and by the time my meal is cooked, the rice is done and waiting. It stays hot because it has a lid on it. Some cookers have warmers on it, but I don't need anything added or I'll goof up my rice. rofl Trust me on that one. lol

I'd say it takes about 20-25 minutes to cook. I like that it's easy to clean and I don't have to watch over it.

I can make rice on the stovetop, but it seemed my rice wasn't consistently perfect. Sometimes I didn't add enough water or sometimes too much. I sometimes would burn the bottom. ugh

There are some really inexpensive rice cookers. I've seen them under $20.

I burned rice once so bad in a pan. My mom then sent me the rice cooker. One of my favorite gifts from her.

I use my 10 cup rice cooker all the time. The kids and I are rice fanatics! I also will do a pilaf style rice on the stove with rice and anglehair pasta broken up and an chopped onion sauteed in butter. Add chicken broth to that to cover rice about 1 inch, cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for about 30 minutes.

I am doing a chicken dinner tonight, i might just cook the chicken in the oven with some cream of chicken soup. then serve that over a bed of rice maybe.

I do this too. We call it homemade rice a roni. I'll also saute finely chopped carrots and celery and onion with it too. I just don't cook it as long as you do.
