Cooking Brown Rice

Cooking brown rice is very easy and foolproof using a microwave. I have had a tough time getting the rice not to stick and burn on the bottom of a pan. A rice cooker is nice but who needs another appliance?

Ingredients

1 cup brown rice (long-grain)
2 1/2 cups bottled water (tap water is too unpredictable in taste and content)

Directions

Put brown rice and water in microwaveable dish and cover. Stir to distribute the rice. Make sure dish is, at the most, half full since rice expands as it absorbs water during cooking.
Cook on high for 4 minutes then cook at 40% power for 35 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before removing lid.
