Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I need more information about soaking brown rice. This is news to me. Does it still need some cooking after soaking overnight? Has anyone tried skillet browning the rice before boiling? White Basmati rice is my favorite for rice dishes with sauces but I still prefer regular long grain white rice for desert recipes. Brown rice is great for cold salad dishes. Does anyone use Brown Basmati rice? Deanna in Colorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I always use the brown basmati; I don't presoak it; it cooks up well and doesn't have that boiled grass taste that sometimes happens with brown rice. I use 1 c rice to 1 3/4 c water and cook 40-50 minutes, until it smells done. Also, I've recently noted that pot size seems to make a big differennce. I switched to a smaller pot and haven't had a watery batch of rice since. Has anyone else experienced that?

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I use it the Brown Basmati rice,and cook it in my Zo rice cooker. I like to put minced garlic and different spices in it. I cook this either on the GABA setting or regular brown setting. Both soak the rice before cooking. The GABA soaks it for a couple of hours or more though. It's a very tasty rice that cooks up light and fluffy. It's a lot lighter than regular brown rice. Tina M.
