Quick Way To Cook Brown Rice

[smurfchops]

I usually soak in cold water for a couple of hours first, and white rice cooks quickly, but I am trying to be healthy so have bought brown. It takes ages to boil..... is there a quicker way of cooking it ? In the microwave? Any hints for not sticking and tasting good? Thanks allo

I rinse the rice under the tap, put in bowl - 1 part rice to 1 and a half of water - and microwave for approx 15 minutes depending on the amount of rice. Timing at first is a bit trial and error, keep checking. No rice stuck to a pan!

Pressure cooker for brown rice - cook a whole batch and freeze in portions to microwave later. Can't remember how long in pressure cooker as I gave up brown rice in the 1980s.

I normally put a drop of oil in the boiling water to prevent sticking although brown doesn't contain the amount of starch that white has.I always boil brown on the hob and never noticed it take a long time to cook . The water is galloping hot when I pour the rice in the saucepan though.
