  2. Too much Cleaning, you took 2 minutes.
    & BTW, thats not Dirt, thats Vitamin B coating...thats why we use Brown rice for, instead of cleaned white rice.

  4. It's not dirty. It's bran particles - healthy stuff. Just rinse it.
    IF YOU LIKE TO EAT DIRT - GO AHEAD :)

  6. Washing rice is a waste of time, there's no difference whatever to flavor or one's health. It's all a completely mental thing, this need to wash food. Face it, food is inherently DIRTY, and all the washing won't remove the fact that chemicals, bugs and rodents were crawling among the organic food you put in your mouth. By the way, hundreds of mice are killed in every acre harvested.

  7. OK you told how to clean and prepare rice for the pressure cooker but not how to actually cook it in the pressure cooker [how long]. I have an old style PC with the rattle top and use it often and now wanted to try brown rice in the cooker. Your title should have been how to clean rice.

    You never even bothered to tell us what pressure to cook it at and how much time. What a waste of time this video was to view.

    Did we really need to see you spend 40 seconds watering your garden with the dirty rice water in order to learn how to cook brown rice in a pressure cooker?

  10. When trying to save water avoid watering the garden when the sun is high in the sky. Evening or just after sunset is better. You'll get much less evaporation so will make the most of your water reserves. Interesting vids Thanks

  11. A recent study has linked the rise of inflammatory diseases like asthma, allergies, multiple sclerosis with too much hygiene. The study also hypothesized that increased rates of depression could be related to this as well. It's called the "Old Friends" hypothesis.

  12. I don't mind a little dirt either, but the real point is to freshen up the rice and scour the rice, "wake it up" so to speak. Or so they taught me in macrobiotic cooking school. Soaking makes good sense though. It allows you get the best nutritional and energetic value from your rice.

  13. You're welcome. Glad you got something from it. That's why we posted, to share what we've learned from others.

  14. Thanks. We're in Texas, and water is precious. Guess it's really precious everywhere though...

  15. It's not like it's life or death to wash the rice before cooking or anything, but it does taste better and you'll also get more energy from it.

  16. yes, I use a ceramic circular casserole dish inside my pressure cooker with those canning rings (tops to mason jars) at the base so that the casserole dish doesn't touch the bottom of the pressure cooker. I cook the rice for about 15 to 20 minutes.

  17. Oh, so you put a ceramic bowl inside your pressure cooker? Is that what you mean? How long do you cook? I might try that. I've seen it done in cooking class, but I guess I thought I needed a special type of bowl?

  18. Yes, we have cooked rice and beans together, but we always get rid of the soaking water and use fresh to cook (because of the gas mostly) Also, we don't like to add too many beans when cooking with rice, maybe 1/2 cups beans to 3 cups rice, or something like that.

    But mostly, we cook our bean separate. But it's a nice thing to do for a change. Haven't done in a while. Thanks for the comment.

  19. Have you guys ever tried soaking your beans with the rice? I will try this today and let you know. I love this vid by the way! I have been known to place a bowl over the circular canning retaining rings, filling water over the top, approx 1 inch, and placing a bowl with 2C water to 1C rice. This helps me avoid the brown rice burning on the bottom of the pressure cooker. Coarse who doesn't like steam cooked rice? Yummy!
