Cooking brown rice...
K Frame:
We've had a couple of posts about how best to cook brown rice over the years.
At some point in the past I gave up on doing it stove top because the grains would always explode and it would turn into a pot of glue.
So, I started using Alton Brown's method of baking it, which worked well.
A few months ago I got a cheap rice cooker, basically one of these: https://tinyurl.com/4zdfb475
No muss, no fuss. Does a good job cooking white rice, so I thought I'd give brown rice a try.
Yeah, it's freaking brilliant.
Perfectly cooked brown rice. Didn't explode the grains, and it's nice and tender but with the proper brown rice tooth.
Best $10 I ever spent on Woot.
Which means it will explode and take out my kitchen, my house, and the rest of my HOA in 3... 2...

At least it will get rid of a HOA.
With your charming disposition and sparkling humor I'm sure someone will take you in till the new place is built =D

We can use the brown rice as glue to rebuild better, stronger, and prouder than before.

I own and use one of those rice cookers - for my Three Ladies jasmine rice from Thailand. It works great for that.
I HATE brown rice... Because doctors inevitably will push it as some sort of diet food. Why? It's still carbohydrates, but they are frickin' stuck on it.

Because brown rice still has the fiber and nutrients that are lost when brown rice is polished into white rice.
Fiber has a whole host of nutritional benefits that are lost if you remove the bran coating from brown rice, making it white rice.
The same is true of wheat.
Processed wheat flour is stripped of its bran and most of its nutritional value. You get white flour which, inevitably, has to be enriched to regain those nutritional benefits that were lost in processing.
