Alton Brown's Baked Brown Rice

This recipe comes from Alton Brown and it's the only way we have rice anymore. My servings are quite a bit smaller than his, though! You can use chicken or veggie broth in place of the water, or add herbs and spices.

WORLD-CHANGING recipe!! At least, it rocked THIS rice-impaired cook. I've had trouble with stovetop rice cooking forever, and didn't want another appliance in the house (ergo, no rice cooker). But THIS is easy, fool-proof, and I've made it several times now. I DO add a bay leaf and I DO use a dab of a gooey stock base to flavor before it's done. But the texture and the method are easy/perfect as is. I'll never cook rice any other way again. :)Reply
