Gooey Rice

[anniek]

For over a year I have been cooking my brown rice in a pot, using the boiling method. I have always had a nice pot of rice, cooking it on a low, low flame to avoid too much bubbling. Then I broke down and bought a pressure cooker. I dilegently read the instructions for cooking rice and my first few pots came out well. However, now I keep getting mushy-gooey rice. At first I thought I was adding too much liquid, but when I reduce the water, I get mushy rice that is burned on the bottom. So when I open my top, I find a thin layer of water, gooey gloppy rice, and burned rice on the bottom.

It doesn't taste bad, it is sort of creamy like breakfast rice, but it does not look nice. Am I over cooking it? Any tips? thank you

Since I never received a reply, there must not be any members cooking and eating brown rice. What can you say to that but, wow. Anyway, it has been quite hot this summer, so I have been boiling up beautiful grains of rice, and it has been very tasty and enjoyable. When falls comes again, I will experiment with the pressure cooker again. If I solve my problem, I'll be sure to post the results. Anniek

Hi Anniek,

Thanks for posting to this thread again and sorry that we all missed it the first time around.

Can you tell us what amount of rice you are cooking versus water? Also are you using a flame tamer underneath your pressure cooker.

Hopefully we can all help you to get closer to that percect pot of pressure cooked rice.
