Brown Rice

I have recently started using brown rice exclusively. I just couldn't get it right most of the time. So I decided to research methods of cooking brown rice. I tried many of the recommendations, but only one worked every time I tried it. I thought I would share it in case any of you have been hesitant to make the switch for the same reasons. It does take longer than white rice, but it is worth it.

Pour 5 cups of water and 2 cups of rice into a pot. Bring to a boil. Boil for 25 minutes then turn off heat and cover for another 20 minutes or longer. Drain the rice like you would pasta in a strainer. It is ready to serve.
