PERFECT OVEN-BAKED BROWN RICE

Steps:

• Place oven rack in middle position. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Bring the water to a boil. Keep the water covered as it boils so you don't lose too much as steam.
• When the oven is at 375, put the water, rice, and salt into an ovenproof pot with a tight-fitting lid. I have successfully used pyrex dishes and cast-iron dutch ovens. If you don't have a good lid, you can also use a double layer of foil. Just make sure it's sealed well around the edges.
• Pop it in the oven.
• The rice is done when it is tender and the water is all gone. It usually takes an hour. When it's done, fluff it with a fork and serve. Yum! So simple and good!
