Repeat after me: No more mushy rice! No more mushy rice! I’ve been using this brown rice cooking technique for years, and it never fails.
A few reasons to love this recipe:
- You don’t need a rice cooker or any special equipment (just a pot with a lid, and a kitchen stove).
- You can use this technique on any type of brown rice (long, medium or short grain, as long as it’s not a quick-cooking variety).
- It’s so easy to remember, you’ll never need to look up how to cook brown rice again.
For this technique, you’ll boil your rice in an abundance of water for 30 minutes. Drain off the excess water, return the rice to the pot, cover, and let the rice steam for 10 minutes. Ta da! Perfect brown rice, every time.
I originally found this technique on Saveur, and I’m so thankful I did. Their recipe calls for 12 cups of water (that’s a lot) per cup of rice, and I’ve learned that it really only needs 6 cups.
However, you don’t actually have to measure the water as long as you’re using a large enough pot. If too much water evaporates during the cooking process, just add more and return the water to a boil. Your rice will still turn out perfectly!

How to Cook Perfect Brown Rice
- Author:
- Prep Time: 2 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 32 minutes (plus 10 minutes for steaming)
- Yield: 3 cups 1x
- Category: Side dish
- Method: Stovetop
- Cuisine: Whole grain
Once you try this easy technique, you’ll never want to cook brown rice any other way. You can scale this recipe up or down as needed. The basic ratio is 1 part brown rice to 6 parts water, which yields 3 parts cooked rice. As written below, the recipe yields 3 cups cooked rice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice (short, medium or long grain brown rice will work, as long as it’s not a quick-cooking variety)
- 6 cups water
- Salt, soy sauce or other desired seasonings, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil, using at least 6 cups water per 1 cup rice. Rinse* the rice in a fine mesh colander under running water to remove excess starch.
- Add the rice to the boiling water. Reduce the temperature as necessary to prevent overflow, but maintain a steady boil. Boil, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Drain off the remaining cooking water and return the rice to the pot. Cover the pot and let the rice rest, off the heat, for 10 minutes. Fluff, season as desired, and serve.
Notes
Recipe adapted from Saveur.
*Note on rinsing: I’ve forgotten to rinse my rice before, and the rice turned out almost as good. The cooked grains are a little more starchy—you can see a thin layer of gluey starch at the bottom of the pot after steaming. If you’re in a hurry, skip the rinse.
Make it gluten free: Rice is gluten free, so just be mindful of your additions. Soy sauce, for example, is not gluten free (substitute certified gluten-free tamari instead).
Wild rice option: For wild rice, use 8 cups water and boil for 40 to 55 minutes, until tender but pleasantly chewy.

This site only wants to post good reviews. I’m sorry, but sometimes recipes won’t come out well, and people should know that! Rice burned way before 30 minutes was up. So it ruined dinner
★
Kate
Hi Steph, I’m sorry you were disappointed. I do take feedback seriously and don’t pick and choose comments as you are referring to. I like to understand why it may didn’t work. Was it boiling over? Did you rinse your rice? Was the pot really big for the portion of rice you made?
Delina
You are my hero! I’ve been cooking brown rice for over 25 years and almost all of it was a disappointment. I tried on the stove, in the crockpot, in a rice cooker, all of the different types and brands. It was too mushy, too sticky, too clumpy or all of the above. I tried your way and it was perfect! Thanks so much. I wish I would have found this recipe years ago.

Hi Amos, this won’t likely work with white rice as timing is usually different. It cooks faster usually.

This is my go to recipe for brown rice. It has a really nicely textured result.

Thank you so much! I just tried it although, I skipped the resting for ten minutes since it was perfectly cooked after steady boiling for a half hour. If I wasn’t using it for fried rice later, I’d be eating it now. The ones I tasted to be sure they were done were so good, no seasoning at ALL!

Elizabeth
I love pretty much *every* recipe I try on your site but this rice recipe just didn’t work for me. The rice absorbed almost all 6 cups of water and turned to mush, even with the pre-rinse. Not sure what happened.
★
Kate
Hi Elizabeth! I’m so sorry to hear that. Was your rice new or old? I haven’t had that with this technique before.
Elizabeth E Baylor
Good point. It was older, which is disappointing since I have a ton of early bulk-buying rice remaining. Any ideas on techniques/recipes that would be a little more forgiving with older grains?
Alee
What did I do wrong!? I got to 40 minutes and my rice was still hard and crunchy. So bummed after reading all the comments because I thought it would for sure turn out.
Kate
Oh no! How old was it?

I love this method of cooking brown rice. But I fell guilty as I suspect that there is a tendency to throw away nutrients with this method. Well, not the starch, still plenty of that, but other nutrients
Leslie Caza
I was a bit skeptical since I always have made oven-baked brown rice and it is perfect, but I thought I’d try it since it is supposed to help lower arsenic levels. I used 3/4 Jasmine brown rice and 1/4 black rice. It was perfect and delicious!

Wonderful! I’m glad you tried it, Leslie. I appreciate your review.

This tice incredible! I do check the rice for doneness around 22 minutes and it’s ready! After resting in the pan, I spread it out on a sheet pan to cool, unless I’m using it right away. It also freezes well. Enjoy great rice anytime!

Hi Trisha, I’m sorry to hear that. Did you bring it to a boil? What rice did you use? It’s important to make sure you have enough water and large enough pot for it to cook appropriately.

Let me say that I hate to cook. First time I tried to cook long grain brown rice from scratch. Always used frozen but all the stores I tried were out of the frozen kind. Can’t believe how much better this recipe is. It worked perfectly! I’m amazed! My go to recipe from now on.

Dwain Winkle
I was boiling chicken when I read the recipe so I just added the rice to the broth after removing the chicken. It came out perfect. I had stopped making brown rice and only used it in soups because I could never get it right. Now I can enjoy rice again without having to buy the expensive pink rice. My health doesn’t let me eat white rice. Thank you so much.

I’m confused by the ratio of water to medium brown rice as my usual method is double the water to the rice. Could you explain how this works well please?

Water boiled away before the 30 mins was up and then stuck to the pan. It sucks to go to a recipe and then follow it to a T and then it ruin dinner.

Kate
Hi Steph, I’m sorry to hear that. How much water did you add? How old was your rice?
Anri
Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out undercooked. I had to steam the rice for another two hours. Then i thought about soaking rice overnight, followed the recipe again and it still was undercooked loll. I don’t think the recipe is bad, it’s just a feature of rice. If not for you, I would not know how to cook such rice, so thank you!

Hi Anri, I’m sorry to hear that. Did you have enough water?
Kez
It is the small things, working together, that slowly heal the soul, or at least that is what I believe. Therefore, I do not consider it being overly dramatic to write that using this recipe has contributed, along with a range of other things, to keeping me alive.
An event that occurred approximately four years ago stripped away almost every ounce of hope and self-confidence that I had. Since that day, I have found myself inexorably drawn towards suicide. The accompanying pervading depression makes doing anything feel akin to climbing a mountain, and having done so in the past, I can assure you that this is no exaggeration. Therefore, you might well imagine how little motivation I have for cooking anything.
Kate, you have prepared for us a recipe that is practically fool proof. I can assure you that this is most definitely true, because there is no greater a fool than myself. I doubt that it will surprise you to read that last night I was able to make brown rice, which was actually fluffy. One of the most difficult things for me to do is to accept that I have accomplished something that is good. What you have freely given out made such a rare event possible.
Due to having a learning challenge – I detest describing it as a disability – which makes me see many things in a literal way, understanding some recipes can be nigh impossible. The inevitable result is frustration and failure. However, not with your recipe, not by a long chalk. Well written, straightforward instructions, so easy to understand and implement. I particularly value Kate, your advice to leave the rice, with the lid on, for ten minutes. Far superior to advice I received in the past, being to drape a tea towel over the top.
It may seem trivial to others, and perhaps I will be an idiot in the eyes of others for writing such things about a simple recipe, if so that is fine, it will not be the first time and definitely not the last time. Nonetheless, for me it is one tiny step back towards life. It is one short moment in which I can think well of myself. It is at least one time that I did not fail.
Thank you Kate for your generosity in freely giving this recipe to all of us.
All my best to you and your loved ones and to all who read this comment – even those who think me an overly dramatic fool…smile.

Franca
I absolutely love this recipe! It’s my tried and true and never fails. However, if I wanted to only cook 1/4 cup rice would the measurements be quartered? Therefore, 1/4 cup dry rice and 1.5 cups of water? This may seem like an obvious thing to do but I tried it and it didn’t turn out so good so I’m wondering if ratios change. has anyone tried this?
★★★★★
Kate
Hi! Just cut everything to match the same ratios. You can always drain off the extra liquid if you have too much remaining.
Sharon
Followed the recipe except I doubled it to 2 cups rice but let it boil 30 mins. Maybe should’ve doubled the cooking time ad well? Turned out just as dry. sticky and goopy had I followed the cooking instructions on the bag. I love brown rice so I really hope it was the cooking time.

Hi, I’m sorry to hear that! If you double the recipe, you will want to make sure you have enough water and large enough pot to cook the rice in.

Frogpie
Please help. Mine still came out mushy. I did Everything as written. Even rinsed.
★
Kate
Hi! I’m sorry to hear that. Was it older rice?
David Levner
I understand that, in many countries, people rinse their rice before cooking it. However, I read somewhere that rinsing removes some of the nutrients. (If I’m wrong about that, I’d love to see some references.) Hence, I don’t rinse.
I do toast rice (and most other rice-like foods such as quinoa and farro) before boiling. I put the rice in a pot with nothing else, turn on a low flame, and shake the pot occasionally for five minutes or so. (Most risotto and paella recipes toast the rice, although sometimes with oil.) I find that toasted rice clumps less after it is boiled. Try it and see if it works for you.
Sadaf
This is how I always saw my mother, both grandmothers and a multitude of aunts make white rice in Pakistan, and how I make it now (basmati, always basmati). However, instead of following a specific time duration, since grains can be different, we eyeball it. The grain has to be*just about* done when it’s time to drain the water; the final cooking takes place in the last few minutes on low (which step is called ‘dum’ in Urdu). Weirdly, I never thought to use this technique for brown rice. Thanks for the tip!

Susan
I haven’t tried your method yet, but this is very similar to the way I used to cook rice (both brown and white) in the ’70s!!
I used the Galloping Gourmet method, where you rinse the rice in a strainer, put it in a pot of boiling water (same as you do) and then after 10 minutes drain the rice into a collander and steam, covered, over hot water for 8 minutes. I think for brown rice you would boil for 15 and steam for 12. It always came out perfectly!
We started eating brown rice again so I’m excited to try your method, which is even easier than the Galloping Gourmet. Thank you for the recipe!

★★★★★
Kate
I’m happy to hear it worked well! Thank you for your review, Annika.
Shannon
When you say to drain the water then add the rice back to the pot – are we supposed to dump the rice from the pot then put it back in? Or tilt the pot so the excess water comes out?
Kate
Hi! I drain mine in a fine mesh colander and then put it back in the pot. I hope that helps!
Michelle
Really basic question but I want to try this out and want to make sure it’s perfect. When boiling the rice, should it be left alone for the 30 minutes or should it be stirred occasionally?
Kate
Hi Michelle, You can stir it, but you shouldn’t need to stir. Make sure you keep an eye on it, as nothing should ever be unattended.

This recipe just made my day. I have tried different ones without much success, so my hopes were not high when I lifted the lid after the 10-minute rest time to taste. Mind. Blown. I never thought I would be able to actually like brown rice (I’m transitioning to a WFPB diet) and I was sad about saying goodbye to white rice. 100% recommend!
Aimee
I’m curious do i strain the water from the rice then return it to the pot covered? Or do i just pour what water i can out?
Kate
Hi! Yes, drain the excess water and then cover as it states in step 3.
Lena
Do the rice grains cooked with this recipe come out opened or do they stay unopened? Thanks
Kate
Hi Lena, they don’t open like farro. They more soak up and become softer texture. Does that make sense?
John
I could never cook brown rice. whether I under cooked it or over cooked it; it always seemed gritty, with just a poor texture always. It was never pleasing and so I stayed with a variety of white rices because they were more pleasing to eat. (Always regretting I could not cook brown rice)
This technique is amazing… did I say amazing? Yea, amazing. I love it! Thank you so much for posting it. It poofs the rice wonderfully and the texture is amazing, not mushy or anything.
I am so happy I can start using brown rice for everything. It’s said to much more benificial for the body. Thanks again
