Introduction

Just as the title says, it's fool proof, and yummy! Just as the title says, it's fool proof, and yummy!
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    2 1/3 cups Water
    2 tsp Olive Oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 F and move a rack to the middle position. Spread the rice into an 8-inch square, glass baking dish. In a covered saucepan on the stove, bring the water and oil to a boil over high heat. Once it begins to boil, stir in the salt and pour over the rice.

Fluff the rice with a fork, cover with a clean kitchen towel; let rice stand 5 minutes. Uncover for another 5 minutes, then serve immediately.

    I seem to have a hard time cooking brown rice correctly, but this rice was perfectly cooked. The texture was just what I wanted. Next time, I'll try it with stock instead of water to add flavor. - 4/2/09

    This is a winner and fairly easy. I sauteed onions, mushrooms and celery in the oil with the rice. Then transferred to an 8" square pan and added chicken broth plus enough water to equal remaining amount of liquid. Delicious. - 10/6/09

    This comes out perfect every time. I sometimes use a blend, with brown rice and a bit of black barley, wild rice, or other grains. Trader Joe's sells a blend with radish seeds and black barley that is just wonderful. - 10/4/08

    I used the advice of COOKIEJIM below and added 2 tsp of yellow curry powder to the water when boiling and 1 C of sauteed onions and approx. 1 lb. of 1 inch pcs sauteed chicken to the rice then baked it. It goes great w/ broccoli. Next time I will add peas and carrots. This is now a new favorite! YUM - 7/6/08

    I cook regular brown rice in the microwave and it comes out great every time. Use the same amount of rice, water and salt that you would for boiling. I use a glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap and mic for 25 minutes at 80% power level for my microwave. - 1/3/10

    Leave it to me to goof up a 'goof proof' recipe...I forgot to boil the liquids before adding to the rice, so I ended up having to bake for an extra 11 minutes, but it came out AWESOME!! I also left the oil out (using it to stir fry my veggies to go w/rice) and exchanged all water for low sod. broth - 12/2/09

    Don't forget to cover when it is in the oven! Just FYI.
    I love this method of making brown rice! I have always just accepted the fact that brown rice doesn't have the same texture as white. This method of cooking the rice makes that assumption obsolete! - 3/17/09

    Why add oil and salt to rice? I add onion and celery sauted in vegetable stock to brown rice and use the vegetable stock instead of water. Yummy - 12/15/09

    This is the only way to cook brown rice. You can also use any stock instead of water to give your rice more flavor. - 9/17/07

    This is a great, easy recipe for plain brown rice! I've used it several times!
    This recipe makes 10 very small servings - not 4 servings like the nutritional info side bar states. Beware of that!!! (I usually divide this by 5, and eat 2 'servings'.) Thanks for the recipe! :) - 3/22/07

    If 1 tsp of salt has 2300 mg of sodium, how does 1 tsp divided by 4 servings yeild only 234 mg per serving. Where does the rest of the sodium go? - 1/3/10

    Very easy and tasty, cooked it along with the baked potatoes so it saved time for my Thanksgiving dinner. Love the idea of putting the rice in one pan and forgetting about it until it's done. Wonderful - 11/26/09

    Love this recipe, but I think your nutritional values are incorrect. When I click on the "ingredients details" link, the quantities are way less than the ingredients you have listed. When I enter this as a new recipe, it has a lot more calores. However, it is still a super recipe! - 12/31/08

    I have recipe for baked rice that I haven't made for over 25 yrs. But, I remember that I was suppose to "toast" the rice in a dry skillet until brown. Then add the boiling water & seasoning. It was really good too. Thanks for the reminder. I will make it again. - 1/3/10

    This is the way I'll be making my brown rice all the time. I've been struggling with brown rice for a long time. This was the first time it came out perfect! Not mushy or crunchy. Very fluffy. - 10/16/08
