i wanted to buy whole grain couscous the other day, my S/M didnt have any
brown rice takes for ever to cook, do u have a PC DJ it only takes 20mins
-
Yes I have a slightly worn out pc.
20 mins full pressure?
-
DJ i have an electric pressure cooker i set it and it does its thing
the setting for brown rice is for 18mins but i add 2 more mins

Brown basmati cooks better with a pinch of salt added to the water. I cook it by absorption method in another bowl nestled inside my pressure cooker. I cover it with water, so the water comes above the rice level by a knuckle. Not very precise, lol! Still takes 35 mins to cook though. I love brown basmati.

DJ, is the couscous you're talking about also called Israeli Coucous?
Brown rice takes 40 minutes in the TMX. Hence why I don't cook it very often! ;)
-
I'm sure if you soak the brown rice first, even overnight or all day it doesn't take as long to cook through!

I cook my brown rice for 30 minutes. It is lovely and nutty and slightly chewy.
