Pressure Cooker Brown Rice

Did she really just post something this simple? Yes folks I did, because I think it's great and want to make sure you know about it too! I read a few weeks ago that someone makes a big bowl of brown rice on the weekend and leaves it in the fridge for quick meals during the week-I think that's brilliant! What's even better is using the pressure cooker, talk about an amazing consistency-flaky, fluffy single grains, not wet and mushy... and in way less than 30 minutes!
 I used my 4 qt electronic pressure cooker from QVC and set the timer to 13 minutes. 
Gotta mention again that this is one of my favorite kitchen toys of all time. 

Pressure Cooker Brown Rice
1 C brown rice
1 1/2 C water
-Set pressure cooker to 13 minutes and let the pressure come down naturally.

Notes: 
  • You barely even need to fluff this folks, it's just beautiful. 
  • I freeze a lot of soups but don't care for frozen rice so this is perfect for adding to soup, etc. as I'm heating up my lunch for the thermos.
  • Did anyone else grow up eating rice for breakfast? Pour milk over warm rice and top with cinnamon and sugar-good stuff:@)
  • Note to self: Smallest amount = 1 C water + 2/3 C rice.
Eat well and have a happy day!
