How To Make Brown Rice

[mlsdd]

Wow, what a horrible way of cooking rice. All the nutrition are threw away with the water. What I do it cook in a closed pressure cooker, and as soon as the cooker make the boiling noise, we have to turn the heat at the minimum and leave the rice to cook for 40 min and that is it. Also i use non refined salt that is tastier and healthier.

[Zakariah1971]

The key with basmati rice is to take it slow. 1/8 cup is plenty for one

man with say baked pink salmon and avocado but that rice will

have to boil for an hour to cook al dente

[ItsEMoneybaby]

I could have missed it but when did you say the ratio of water to rice?

[fitcoach2007]

@ItsEMoneybaby There is NO ratio, cook the rice like you cook pasta in salted water.

[Zakariah1971]

The key is to taste it at 30min. Chinks and gooks like gummy rice.

[freddy44s]

@Zakariah1971

This is an extremely rude comment, you should be ashamed of yourself.

[s2000oholic]

you should try cooking it in chicken broth. adds a lot of taste to the rice and gives it a mushy texture if you're into that kind of consistency

[sylvial1985]

why is my rice hard? I had 3 cups of water, 1 cup of rice inside a rice cooker

[fitcoach2007]

@sylvial1985 cook it the way I show you on the video and it will come out soft.

[sylvial1985]

@fitcoach2007 it worked! you deserve a kiss *muah*!

[fitcoach2007]

@sylvial1985 Glad you liked it.

[hazemalsaadi]

everytime i make brown rice, it turns out SOLID ROCK!!! tried so many ways including soaking. any recommended brands?

[fitcoach2007]

@hazemalsaadi Uncle Bens works good, but make it the way I do on the video.

[debuquis]

I do not understand, I like to make a stew of garlic, wash the rice, and cook dry, brown rice this is some Asian species?

[4863440]

Perfect rice. Everytime.

[fitcoach2007]

@4863440 every time!

[rminitials]

Thanks man! I look forward to cooking my brown rice like this tomorrow. I just made some (before I watched your video) and it came out HORRIBLE. A lot of it was stuck to the bottom of the pan and it didn't taste very good. Good to know I can prepare it your way next time! Ty.

[fitcoach2007]

@rminitials Hope you like the way it turns out.

[rminitials]

@fitcoach2007

I just finished cooking the rice and I must say, I'm impressed! None of it got stuck to the bottom of the pan and it tastes great. Thank you very much. You earned yourself a sub.

[shred5]

I''m going to try this, I've been trying to make spanish rice from brown basmati rice and I just can't seem to cook it right. Either I use too much water and have extremely squishy rice, or not enough, it's not cooked and I have to add more water and end up with the same result. This is super easy, hard to mess up and comments on this video and other websites all say it does come out really good this way as long as you don't have to cook anything else with it.

[okpapereat]

salt is bad for you according to the gerson theropy lol. i make brown rice caause its usully healthier then those white rice like jasmine basmati rice and such. We cook it without salt

[ShitMyCatsOnFire]

@okpapereat You are mistaken and ignorant. Our bodies need roughly 500g of salt a day in order for important physiological actions to take place. Sadly over processed food in this country means that we consume far too much salt, which is unhealthy. But to say that salt is bad for you is just ignorant.

[okpapereat]

@ShitMyCatsOnFire i mean refined salt dude, the one that are white they are refined and who knows what they put in it to turn it white? me id say no chemicals are good for you. I brush my teeth without flouridation on tooth paste, flouride can be dangours, another chemical, i rather have real sea salt and make my own. Have you not heard of the gerson theoropy?

[kbkushalutube]

when you drain the water, don't the of vitamins get washed away?

[MrDingDongPong]

@kbkushalutube Good Point, someone answer him please lol

[shred5]

@kbkushalutube, only with enriched white rice... with brown don't worry

[97bootygirl]

what a smart idea. Love your channel.

[artsyspot69]

@ BreadforButter Is there a law for that?

[BreadForButter]

your supposed to wash the brown rice before cooking. Everyone knows that

[joyride199]

I see magic bullet :D That thing is my baby;D Protein shakes made easy

[fitcoach2007]

@joyride199 I use the magic bullet every day!

[akababysoft75]

He said perfect rice every time.

[germanssgirl]

did you cook that at medium temperature?

[fitcoach2007]

@germanssgirl Once the water boils, lower to medium boil, and add the rice.

[germanssgirl]

@fitcoach2007 ty for your reply, great video

[germanssgirl]

@fitcoach2007 thnx for your reply, great video

[michaelbryant21]

i cooked it in my rice cooker and it was crunchy as fuck n i was mad

[luis14chelsea]

how much water

[fitcoach2007]

@luis14chelsea there is NO water measurements. cook it like if you were making pasta.

[luis14chelsea]

@fitcoach2007 ok thank u

[xxXSCARFACEXxxx]

i dont use salt when i make my brown rice is that good if u want to be fit?

[fitcoach2007]

@xxXSCARFACEXxxx Absolutely! You do not have to add ant salt to the recipe.

[xxXSCARFACEXxxx]

@fitcoach2007 thanks

[bwielos51]

Jaun, will this method work for white rice?

[fitcoach2007]

@bwielos51 Yes this will works with white rice. Just cook it according to the TIME on the box. It is usually 20 minutes.

[meanmachinemarine]

i foolowed the directions and the water evaported whaich i had to add another cup of water from keeping it from burning...how high should the flame in the stove be?????????????????? low, med, high...??????????????

[fitcoach2007]

@meanmachinemarine Did you use the water amount on the directions from the box? if you did it will not work. Just fill your pot with salted water just like if you were making pasta. bring it to a boil, add rice and then cook it using the directions on the box.

[kevsilverr]

@meanmachinemarine

I'd say rewatch the TWO AND A HALF MINUTE VIDEO .....listen really really close......and you'll hear him say to simmer the rice for about thirty minutes....depending on the stove that means med/low or low setting on the burner....if you still have trouble.....give up....if you can't cook rice its only down hill for you my friend

[talalztube]

what was the rice to water ratio again?

[fitcoach2007]

@talalztube There is no ratio. That is the point of making it this way. Just fill your pot with salted water like if you were going to cook pasta. get the water boiling and then add the rice. Cook according to the package time specifications. Enjoy!

[smoothMousePad]

I'm gonna try this.

[fitcoach2007]

@smoothMousePad Let me know how the rice comes out.

[UpTehCooch]

so do you add the rice to the already boiling water? and keep it boiling for 30 mins? more details please. 

[fitcoach2007]

@UpTehCooch Just like pasta: add the rice after you get the water boiling.

[xxdonaldqxxx]

No lid on the pot?

[fitcoach2007]

@xxdonaldqxxx No lid on the pot necessary, you are cooking it like pasta.

[xxdonaldqxxx]

@fitcoach2007 Thanks! I've never seen rice cooked like that before but it seems much easier. I wonder why nobody else has ever thought of it before? I was going to buy a rice steamer but I might just change my mind and try it your way.

[AMIRHASSAN20]

Thank you, This a great way to cook perfect fluffy rice

[bahuka91]

Thank you! I tried it and it turned out FANTASTIC!

[fitcoach2007]

@bahuka91 glad you liked the easy rice recipe.

[zinkwater]

so basically read the instructions...?

[fitcoach2007]

@zinkwater Well....the instruction tell you to use Specific amount of rice and water. What I am showing you here is to cook the rice like you would cook pasta. Just use the cook time on the box to keep track till done.

[SupaFlyBoyZz699]

do u have to lower the heat or keep it the way it is boiling?

[fitcoach2007]

@SupaFlyBoyZz699 Turn the heat down to a simmer till the rice is down. Go by the time specified in the box.

[SupaFlyBoyZz699]

can u teach us how to make good oatmeal please thank you so much

[fitcoach2007]

@SupaFlyBoyZz699 Hi there, I make oatmeal every morning. The simplest way is in the microwave. Add i/2 cup of whole oats, (Not instant or quick cook oats) and 1/2 cup of milk and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes (depends on your microwave). Add cold milk after it comes out of the microwave to make it the consistency you want.

[thewestcoastishere]

0:46 = Red Robbin !

[510METROID]

it worked thank you very much lol im not a cook i failed the first tme with othert instructions but urs really helped thank you ^.^

[fitcoach2007]

@510METROID That is great to hear. I am so glad when my videos help individuals cook good healthy recipes in a snap.

[KinkyStyles1980]

Thank u so much, u are right making brown rice is a hit and miss lol I'm going to try this ;-)

[fitcoach2007]

@KinkyStyles1980 Thanks, I am sure you will be pleased with how it turns out.

[bappyeee]

I like it. I want this right now.

[blogkholajanala]

hey hey! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (google it)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cooworker lost a ton of weight with it.

[Paxx23]

Good technique. Instead of trying to calibrate your oven temperature, amount of water and rice, this is sure-fire. I recently saw a video of someone who cooked their brown rice using as pressure cooker and it still took them 45 mins plus the 10-15 mins to allow the pressure to subside; you'd think the device would have a quick-release valve for rapid cooling. Made no sense to me as the stovetop instructions usually call for 45 mins using a conventional pot with lid. Par-boiled brown even less.

[thebruceburkshow]

I like the part where he didn't say how much water to use

[fitcoach2007]

@thebruceburkshow Thats because i did not say how much water to use. You are to fill the pot with water just like you would to make pasta.

[chemistryflavored]

Why I never thought of this before is crazy, it makes so much sense but those darn rice instructions are misleading! I used to pop my brown rice in the oven, but this looks much easier!

[fitcoach2007]

@chemistryflavored yea this is an easier more fail safe way to make it. Hope you enjoy it.

[paperorpaper]

Thanks, man. I came here because the brown rice I cooked last night looked just like rice pudding. haha I'll try this tonight.

[fitcoach2007]

@paperorpaper No problem let me know how it comes out.

[paperorpaper]

@fitcoach2007 Your method definitely made a huge difference. The rice actually came fluffy this time. Much better.

[Comblit]

I feel stupid for not thinking of this.

[fitcoach2007]

@Comblit Don't feel stupid, just feel grateful that you found a great way to make perfect rice.

[AllinTMC]

Wow i never thought about cooking rice like pasta.... i feel like an an idiot now ... thanks for this video... no more spongy rice :)

[fitcoach2007]

@AllinTMC I hope you like the rice cooked this way, yes no more spongy mushy rice.

[HipPopIsWACK]

yo man, you're a beast, keep up the awesome videos!

[fitcoach2007]

@HipPopIsWACK THANKS!!!!

[msmoni13]

3 questions - How many cups of water ? do i leave it there or do i stir? what temp do i have the stove to ?

Thanks

[fitcoach2007]

@msmoni13 1. Think about the water as if you were cooking pasta. 2. Stir it every once in awile like pasta. 3. After you get a boil turn in down to medium-high heat and simmer.

[fckhype]

Can I use chicken broth instead of wAter to add flavor?

[fitcoach2007]

@fckhype Yes you can use chicken broth or any flavored stock to make the brown rice.

[datnastyboi18]

this works ppl!!!! thanks fit coach ur awesome!

[fitcoach2007]

@datnastyboi18 You are very welcome!!!!!!! glad you liked this easy recipe for brown rice.

[wisdomandchange777]

mmmmmm when u trow the water away aren't your trowing some of the good stuff than comes on the rice away !? .. anyways i gonna try your recipe right now and see how it works out ... oh btw u don;t say how hot it is suppose to be .

[wisdomandchange777]

mmmmmm when u trow the water away aren't your trowing some of the good stuff than comes on the rice away !? .. anyways i gonna try your recipe right now and see how it works out ...

[elitedonk]

People say eat brown rice to lose weight but when I ask what is a good food to gain muscle and weight they say brown rice WTF

[sakamydique]

@elitedonk Brown rice is healthier than white rice if you're going to eat rice. If you're fat, eating brown instead of white will make you lose a little fat weight. When weight-lifting you can eat brown rice, not a whole tub of rice, but enough carbohydrates for you daily required macro-nutrient needs.

[MosquitoFood]

Thank you! I’ve been struggling with this for years. The ratios never seemed to be right with the closed-pot method. Thanks again.

[fitcoach2007]

@MosquitoFood Thanks for subscribing to my YouTube channel and I am glad I can help with the brown rice recipe. ENJOY!

[arnoldnavarro21]

hmm seems like a good idea... BUT HOW much salt for a cup and half worth rice???

[fitcoach2007]

@arnoldnavarro21 I add salt o taste, everyone is different. start with a little and then add more if you need it.

[bwielos51]

Jaun, I started eating oatmeal. I like it, do you recommend a certain oatmeal? Instant, quick, or steel?

[fitcoach2007]

@bwielos51 old fashion oatmeal is the best.

[bwielos51]

Jaun, you said you also eat oatmeal as a carbohydrate source. I know it's a quality carb, but I noticed it contains a 1/2 Gram of saturated fat. I thought a person is to avoid this type of fat, can you give me your opinion?

[fitcoach2007]

@bwielos51 The fats in Oats are indeed "essential fatty acids" and good for you and part of a healthy, balanced diet. Food is not the enemy -- don't obsess too much about the macronutrients. As long as you are eating "real food" in reasonable quantities and moving a reasonable amount your health will benefit. Oats certainly qualify as "real food" in my book.

[bwielos51]

Juan, the brown rice came out "al dente" but it sure did not clump together. Next time I will cook it 5 min. longer. Should I expect brown rice to be coarser in texture than white rice? Overall your recipe was a success. How do you prepare your yams?

[fitcoach2007]

@bwielos51 Yes brown rice is coarser and more dense. that is the added health benefits of the fiber in the grain. Which yam recipe are you talking about?

[bwielos51]

I stir my pasta as it cooks, will this make the rice sticky?

[fitcoach2007]

@bwielos51 No but you do not have to stir it allot, just enough to keep it loose.

[evieromero16]

I wanted to now is it healthy to combine with chicken, beans, and tostones?

[fitcoach2007]

@evieromero16 Yes

[healthcoachcathy]

If I was supposed to boil it like pasta then that's probably what I did wrong - didn't have enough water in it. I'll try it again.

[fitcoach2007]

@healthcoachcathy OK try it I know it will work for you. :)

[healthcoachcathy]

I tried it this way, but it turned out still "hard" inside. Finally I had to put a lid on it. Took me longer than 30 min.

[fitcoach2007]

@healthcoachcathy depending on the brown rice, it takes 35-45 minutes. I check it when time is up to see if it is done, if still hard just continue cooking time. Did you boil it like pasta?

[jody460]

how much water to the cup and a half of rice ?

[fitcoach2007]

@jody460 No measuring necessary. Cook it like you were cooking pasta. Boil salted water, add rice, drain in a colander, fluff with a fork.

[n8burns]

what does it suppose to taste like? texture?

[fitcoach2007]

@n8burns brown rice has a nuttier flavor because the husk of the rice is not removed.

[n8burns]

@fitcoach2007 oHh ok, because i did what you did and it was still hard! so i added 20-30 more mins of boiling! LoL so it suppose to have that uncooked texture? because of the outer shelling?

[hrhjudy]

ok i dont seem to like brown rice when i cook it, so im gonna try your method and ill get back to you

[fitcoach2007]

@hrhjudy hope you like it. I tend to use Uncles Ben's brown rice, its my favorite and always comes out good.

[hrhjudy]

@fitcoach2007 i think maybe i have to acquire a taste for brown rice, its not sticky this time, but i just dont like the taste, ill look for the Uncles Ben's to try.... thanks.

[schmatever]

Cook for thirty minutes on boiling level? this doesn't seem to be right. A few more details would be appreciated on exact cooking temp of water....

[fitcoach2007]

@schmatever Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a medium simmer. Cook the rice just like you would cook pasta and drain in a colander.

[n8burns]

what's up boss! there's no directions on the 25Lbs bag of brown rice we bought! sooo.... iLL try what you did on this video! but hoe much water do i put in the pot?

[fitcoach2007]

@n8burns just add water to the pot like if you were cooking pasta.

[LUSTRRR]

May be "perfect rice every time " EXCEPT this time!! it come out way too sticky =/

[fitcoach2007]

@LUSTRRR probably cooked too long. follow the time on the package. hope this helps.

[gar2159]

 easy and simple good job

[fitcoach2007]

@gar2159 thank you

[redneck500]

so brown rice doesn't cook like white rice? White rice you use a 1:2 ration of water, and then you let it come to boil and then on low for 15 mins, then 15 mins on a cold burner? that won't work with brown rice?

[fitcoach2007]

@redneck500 it will but brown rice has more fiber and takes longer to cook. using this method gives you a perfect rice every time.

[redneck500]

@fitcoach2007 ok, thanks, i better get started, cause i have a lot of weight to loose (about 300 lbs) :(

[WillMillion15]

@redneck500 good luck. Did you start yet?

[redneck500]

@WillMillion15 NO, but ask me that question in one month :)

[Phaythful]

where did you get your brown rice from? the only brown rice i can find is in small packages....and i need a larger quantity.

[fitcoach2007]

@Phaythful any grocery store sells brown rice

[fatty2beauty]

what is the name or brand of the brown rice and from where do u get them ?

[2285utubej]

I also like to drain the rice while cooking. But don't u think we loose some minerals ?

[fitcoach2007]

@2285utubej It might lose some minerals, just have to make sure you are eating a balanced meal.

[SFOMGV]

can you also boil white rice like this??????

[fitcoach2007]

@SFOMGV yes, it comes out great every time. check it after the stated package time for doness

[Mexican4life14]

Just wondering at what temperature should I cook the brown rice?

[fitcoach2007]

@Mexican4life14 light boil, no specific temp.

[CanaryBlack0]

@fitcoach2007

how many cups of water per cup of rice ?

[fitcoach2007]

@Mexican4life14 No measurement involved. You are cooking it like if you were cooking pasta. Just fill a pot with water and add salt

[fitcoach2007]

@enisorian glad it worked for you. Don't forget to salt it good. After it is cooked you can add any other herbs or spices you'd like. some times instead of water I will use chicken stock. have fun with it.

[brandon2932]

Do you have to cover it with a lid when its cooking?

[fitcoach2007]

@brandon2932 I do not cover it.

[Shepherdess501]

Thank you , this has really helped me out.

[Missyplaymate3]

Thank you so much sweetie. I love eating rice :-). Great video thanks so much

[fitcoach2007]

@Missyplaymate3 you are welcome.

[jasonsbitch73]

Thank you very much for posting this video, my rice cooker always cooks the bottom too long and it always overcooks on the bottom. I never thought about using enough water to keep it from all boiling away... I'll have to try this

[fitcoach2007]

@jasonsbitch73 You are welcome

[ribbonsandrocks]

Omg! I finally made brown rice that wasn't sticky and gross thanks to your video. What a great and easy way to make brown rice! And no measuring anything! That made it even better to cook it. Sounds silly to say about cooking rice, but I was really amazed at how easy it was to make and how great it came out. Now I can have delicious brown rice at home and not just at a restaurant! Thanks a bunch. =)

[fitcoach2007]

@ribbonsandrocks I am glad you liked it. juan

[armycook23]

Perfect rice every time.

[thugricanz]

I gave up with cooking brown rice.. never comes out good. :(

I will just make quinoa. Comes out good for me ;)

[avocada1]

30 minutes is a very long time......

for best results u should soak the rice for about 1 hour ..... this way wen u cook them they take a lot less time and come out just perfect...

for one cup of brown rice = 1 1/2 cup water.

hope it helps...it works for me....

[thugricanz]

@avocada1 I might try this. Soaking is good!

[TheCrocoduck]

1.5 cups of water per 1 cup of rice. that's the ratio i use.. works out perfectly 4 me :)

[jody460]

@TheCrocoduck

gee thanks I was still waiting for the response by fitcoach

thanks a million.

[Sang33na]

great video, thankz so much,

[WWEfan9524]

u did not say how much water and at the ending the rice was sticky together and it feels like you paused the video made it again then started the video to make it come out perfect thats what i think sorry i seen better a chef and weight coach should pay a little more attention

[fitcoach2007]

@WWEfan9524 I am sorry to hear that it did not work out for you. maybe you did not use enough water. As I stated on the video I just fill the pot with boiling water and add the rice. It will cook just like you cook pasta. I also sorry you think I would be deceitful and make another pot, I did not. I make this 2-3 times per week. juan

[WWEfan9524]

@fitcoach2007 no sorry i jus wanted 2 see if u were a decent nice man n see how u will write back if somone cristisized your food tha rice looks GREAT!!! it prolly looks even better in person seya do more videos :)

[WWEfan9524]

@fitcoach2007 im sorry i was jus seeing if u were a nice guy n how u would react if someone cristisized your food it looks GREAT!!! prolly looks even better in person keep making more videos :)

[WWEfan9524]

@fitcoach2007 sorry jus wanted 2 see how u would react if u were critisized on your food it looks GREAT!!! which i mean the food it prolly looks greater in person keep up tha work :) and i actually need help dieting so i can lose weight can u help me? thanks.

[TheMikester307]

Thank you! I'm going to try this!
