Perfect Brown Rice

This is a recipe for making perfect brown rice--not too sticky--not too hard--just right. I normally double this batch. Grapeseed oil is fairly inexpensive and can be found at Trader Joe's and many other grocery stores. It can be used for many other things in place of vegetable or olive oil. Great for high heat cooking.

1. Lightly and carefully rinse the rice, making sure not to break the grains.
2. Then add the oil directly to the uncooked rice, coating it.
3. Boil the water in a in a medium-sized saucepan.
4. When it is reaches a boil, add the rice and bring back to a boil.
5. Lower heat to a simmer and cover the pan with a tight fitting lid.
