Perfect Basic Brown Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup brown rice
kosher salt
12 cups water

Preparation

Rinse the starch off the rice in a strainer under cold water for 30 seconds.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat in a large pot that has a tight fitting lid.
Add the rice, stir it just once, and boil, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Pour the rice into a strainer over the sink and drain for 10 seconds.
Return the rice to the same pot, off the heat.
Cover immediately and set aside for 10 minutes (this is the steaming part).
Uncover, fluff with a fork, and season with salt.
