Preheat the oven to 375 degrees f.
Cook brown rice in oven. Place the rice into an 8 inch square glass baking dish. Bring the water butter and salt just to a boil in a kettle or covered saucepan. Cover baking dish tightly with double layer of aluminum foil. Brown rice can be cooked either on the stove top or my favorite method in the oven.
Brown rice has a delicious nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture. It takes a little more time but you can make a larger batch and the even steady heat of the oven works magic on stubborn grains of brown rice. Bring water and olive oil to a boil in a covered saucepan. For white rice boil 1 2 3 cups of liquid per cup of rice.
Baking it in the oven next to the meatloaf roast or even broiled salmon is insanely easy. If brown rice is your nemesis there is one method i think you ll agree is a winner. If you re cooking with stock as opposed to plain water you might want to use less salt or none at all depending on how salty your stock is. Pour water mixture over rice.
We re so used to cooking rice on the stovetop that i know sticking it in the oven can sound a little odd but i swear by this method. Place rice in a 9x13 inch baking dish. For brown rice you ll need 1 3 4 cups. I have used this and similar methods of oven cooking rice both brown and white for many years and for many large dinners for lodge functions feeding up to 100 people with up to three full sized steam table pans of rice and have had unqualified success each and every time.
