Mix brown and white rice by cooking the brown rice for 20 minutes, then adding white rice and more water for another 20 minutes.
Cook extra wild rice to add to soups and casseroles. Cooked wild rice freezes well.
Hand-parched wild rice cooks in less time – about 15-20 minutes
A rice cooker is inexpensive and gives good results for all types of rice.
