Ok.. may seem like a stupid question - but how the hell do you stop brown rice sticking to the bottom of the saucepan when using the absorption method???? I'm sick of having to scrape it off...lol
And I don't have it up that high - just simmering, and I stir heaps.....
I always have that problem too. I just cook it in the microwave now
You don't want to stir heaps either, you are meant to keep the lid on so the steam doesn't escape and it gives a fluffier texture, although I am not sure brown rice can get 'fluffy'.
Hmm.. I don't know about fluffy either - mine gets creamy by the end of it, which is why we like it more than white rice... I just suck at cooking it.. LOL
My package say the absorption method for the stove is 25-30 minutes simmering after reducing from the boil and for microwave it says to refer to the manual. There is no brown rice info for my microwave, only white rice so I push the sensor cook white rice and add on another 8 minutes when that is done It is probably about 15 minutes all up in the microwave and then I sit covered for another 5-10 minutes to let the steam cook it. I am probably not the best person to answer rice questions though
Make sure you put paper towel on the microwave plate too or you will be scrubbing that, if it isn't the pot it is something else
