Christian Television Health Program, The Test Kitchen Chef Diana Jo Rossano, Ph.D. will help you with this easy recipe. It is not as difficult as you may think to make healthy brown rice when you bake it in the oven.

This is a simple trick that works every time you want to make brown rice. I used to cook the rice on the stove for a sticky mess. In the oven the story is completely different.

Dry beans were always little rocks at my house. Then I discovered how to make dry beans in the crock pot. What's the secret? Simple, the water must be added to the crock pot must be BOILING. If the water is room temperature, this won't work. Now you know the secret to making dry beans in the crock pot that comes out perfect every time.

This is one of my favorites because it is easy. It is done in the crock pot. The brown rice is flaky and done in the oven. Takes an hour to bake, but I can be doing something else. Free-range hamburger is good on the top with some raw onion.

This can be a completely vegetarian meal without meat or you can add ground beef. (Hormone free of course.) Beans and rice is the perfect combination for the correct amino acids that help make it a perfect food that is a cheap form of protein.

You don't need meat for protein. You can cut down on the amount of meat that you eat just by making beans. The brown rice provides plenty of fiber as do the beans. Nuts are another cheap protein.

Non hormone beef is pricey -- Upwards to $6.00 per pound. No wonder most other countries eat less meat than Americans because they don't have deflated prices caused by giving hormones to animals like they do here in America.

Rice cookers can be pretty cheap. I bought mine for about $15 at Target and I've been using it for years. You could probably buy one cheaper at a yard sale. One cup of rice to two cups water (same ratio as the video shows) makes non chewy, but also nonsoggy rice. I make lots of rice, so the cooker is a good investment for me. I also cook other grains like quinoa, barley, and oats in it (same ratio). It cooks in about 20 mins. I agree with kalcomcast--chicken is meat, silly! Thanks for the video!

Make sure your rice cooker is NOT aluminum or teflon because both outgas unhealthy metals into your food.

What tempeture is the rice to be

[dianajorossano]

@bones41370 Just figured out how to respond to your year-old comment. Better late than never? I cook at rice at 350 or 400 degrees.

Nice. Right out of "the oven" and so hot you need mitts. Then off the counter it goes cool again.

Chicken is not meat?

@kalcomcast Sorry it took so long to get back to you. You asked, "Chicken is not meat?"

Yup, Chicken is meat. Fish is meat. If it is an animal, it is meat.

The rice is cooked at 350 degrees in the oven with the cookie sheet on top until the water is absorbed into the rice. It takes about an hour or an hour and ten minutes.
