Rice on the stove is usually a mess at my house, too. And, the freezing trick works great. Hugs. @Holly, I’m so happy to hear that this works for you.

My biggest complaint about brown rice is it always turned out so mushy on the stove. I made a double batch and will freeze it in 2 cup portions to have for a quick weeknight meal. Keep up the great work! Amy,

For me the last few times I've baked it I've had issues. Will have to try again. I have found that brown rice makes an excellent breakfast or snack. I eat it with some yogurt, berries, raisins & shredded coconut. And eat it very cold...So yummy! We eat a lot of brown rice here, but I usually make it on the stove top.

Even if I freeze my rice in ziploc bags, I usually don't microwave the rice while still in them, although some folks do. They just open the ziploc bag and then microwave. I have tended to dump my rice out of its container (may need to thaw a minute or so on the counter for easy removal) into a microwave-safe bowl, add a couple of drops of water on top, and then cover and microwave. Then fluff with a fork. (If I'm adding it to soup, I just dump it in.) There are a few different opinions on how to prepare it before freezing, too. Some folks say to immediately put it in containers so you capture the moisture, but cool to room temp before you place in freezer. Others say to cool completely before adding to containers. Some use ziploc bags, some use plastic wrap. Some divvy it up into 1 to 2 cup portions before freezing; others sort of chip off what they need from the frozen package. For that latter method, freezing it in a flat container (like a flattened ziploc with air removed) would definitely make a difference. The next time I freeze some I plan to divvy it out in glass jars for freezing (Im always saving those). I'd say just give whichever of these methods seems reasonable to you a try and go from there. :-) Shirley Jessica–If you use a microwave, that’s the easiest method for reheating … just zap until it’s warm.
