Perfect Brown Rice

I love using whole grains when I cook, but brown rice has always been difficult to get right. If you cook it like white rice and just steam it, it turns our really mushy and not really very appetizing. But I found this way to cook brown rice that makes it tender, not mushy. Anyway, I found the instructions here at saveur.com. Basically, you boil the rice like you would pasta for 20 minutes, then you drain it and let it steam in the remaining liquid for another 10 minutes. It works! The down side is, of course, that any of the "enriched" vitamins will go down the drain, but there's other ways to get your vitamins.
