Perfect Brown Rice

Brown rice is a staple in our family. It is such a great base for many foods, especially ethnic dishes. Just think of the curries, gumbos, teriyaki and stir fry dishes that taste best snuggled on a bed of brown rice.

Making brown rice it in the pressure cooker is quick, simple, and neat — no boilovers to clean up.

Since we are only 2 people at home fulltime, I like to freeze brown rice. Cooking 2 cups of rice gives us 3 meals – one for tonight, and two for a future crazy-busy night.

When you want to use the frozen rice, just add a tablespoon of water, and heat it in the microwave. (This is one of the very few times I actually use the micro!)
