Fluffy Baked Brown Rice

Submitted by KarenTheMiltch

"I'm notorious for ruining rice, so I usually stay away from it -- until I found this recipe. It's Alton Brown's recipe for perfect brown rice, and it's great! I've made it many times and it really does turn out perfectly every time. You can use either medium or short grained rice."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups brown rice
• 2 1⁄2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Place the rice into an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
3. Bring the water, butter, and salt just to a boil in a kettle or covered saucepan. Once the water boils, pour it over the rice, stir to combine, and cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.
4. After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.

Great recipe. High altitude (6000+feet) adjustment. Take out at one hour and add 2 1/2 cups boiling water. Cover and cook for another hour.

I've made this a few times now so feel I can safely say, "it's not a fluke". It really does come out great! At last, the rice I prepare is edible.

This is the only way I make brown rice now. Sometimes I also add garlic powder and bay leaf to the boiling pot. This is a wonderful recipe. Thanks for posting.

easy and excellent recipe. I've made oven brown rice before and found that I'd end up having to cook it for nearly two hours. This recipe is wonderful, no mistakes. This will be the staple way I cook Brown Rice from now on.
