Beverly,
To do brown rice, never fill pressure cooker over ½ full. During the cooking
period, rice cooked directly in the pressure cooker tends to froth, foam, &
sputter & could cause the vent pipe to become clogged. Therefore, to
eliminate frothing, foaming, & sputtering during the cooking period, rice
must be prepared in a bowl in the pressure cooker according to the following
directions. One cup of rice will yield approximately 3 cups cooked rice.
Recipe may be adjusted depending on the size of your pressure cooker.
Brown Rice
1 cup natural brown rice
1 ½ cup water
2 cups water
Combine brown rice & 1 ½ cups water in a metal bowl which fits loosely in
cooker. Cover bowl firmly with aluminum foil. Pour 2 cups water into cooker.
Place bowl on rack in cooker. Close cover securely. Place pressure regulator
on vent pipe & COOK 10 MINUTES WITH PRESSURE REGULATOR ROCKING SLOWLY. Let
pressure drop of its own accord. Open cooker & allow rice to steam uncovered
5 minutes.
I have a large pressure cooker & usually double this recipe & then freeze in
smaller containers for reheating in microwave. Even though there is a
possibility of the foam & sputter, I have never had a problem with this as
long as I used the metal bowl technique.
