Tell me the details like what makes yours perfect, why, and your cultural influence if any. I mean, rice is totally different with Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Persian food just to name a few. It is not just the spices or sauces I'm mostly interested in. These matter too. I am really interested in the grain variety and specifically how you prep, cook, and absolutely anything you do after. Don't skip the cultural details that you might otherwise presume everyone does. Do you know why some brand or region produces better ingredients, say so. I know it seems simple and mundane but it really is not. I want to master your rice as you make it in your culture. Please tell me how.

So, how do you do rice?

3-5-2-2 Brown Rice - Cooked in the oven

This works great to make a batch of rice on the weekend to have plenty to use as a base for various meals throughout the week.

Preheat oven to 350.
Get a large casserole dish.
Rinse 3 cups of brown rice and add to dish.
Add 5 cups of hot or at least warm water to dish (I just microwave it in a pyrex measuring cup before pouring in.)
Add 2 Tablespoons of butter
Add 2 teaspoons of salt
Cover dish with aluminum foil and put it in the oven for an hour.

Congratulations you now have a giant dish of tasty brown rice, you absolute rockstar.
