Brown rice typically takes around 30-35 minutes to cook properly when simmered and then left to absorb the remaining water off the heat.
Here's a breakdown of the cooking process:
- Simmering: Most brown rice packages recommend simmering the rice for 30-35 minutes.
- Absorption: After simmering, remove the pot from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5-10 minutes to absorb any remaining water. This helps ensure fluffy and tender grains.
This method ensures that the brown rice is cooked through, with a pleasant texture.
