Need help cooking rice

May 24th, 2011

Hi all-

I am trying to make a rice pilaf sort of dish – I brown long grain white rice in a bit of olive oil and butter, till light brown.

    Add a tablespoon of oil to the water when cooking rice so the grains stay separate and don’t stick together.

    To keep rice (especially brown rice) fresh longer, store it in the refrigerator. Brown rice should be stored at 55 degrees F. or lower.

    Never stir rice while it cooks because it will crush the rice grains, releasing starch, and make the rice gummy.

    Most foods take 3-4 hours to digest, white rice has such a low fiber content it only takes 1 hour to digest.
