Hello, is it possible for me to cook brown rice using a thermos flask and a kettle? If so how hot would the rice have to be and how long will it have to boil for?
Also, as far as health is concerned how nutritious is brown rice?

good recipies for homemade dog meals?
Tuesday, March 29th, 2011i have a couple of recipes but would they be good for a french buldog
Recipe for a 15 pound dog
Start with:
·Small amount of vegetable oil in your pan
Add:
·Cooked, skinless chicken 1/10 cup
·Cooked Brown rice 1/5 cup
·Cooked Peas 10 grams
·Cooked pumpkin 50 grams
·Pinch of salt
Add Children multi vitamin/mineral to finished food
·Ground chicken
·Ground beef
·4% small curd cottage cheese
·2 cups quaker oats soaked in low sodium chicken broth
·peas
·string beans
·2 tablespoons salmon or fish oil (health food store or break open capsules from grocery store)
·2 eggs
·2 boiled yams or sweet potatoes -this is great protein and helps keep everything moist.
Mix together and make into meatballs the size of your dogs portion. Bake them at 350 until they are completely done. Freeze into bags and warm up in microwave until warm and serve. They should love it and it is all digested so there is very little waste and smell.
Dog Food Recipe
Ingredients
·8 tablespoons corn oil
·2 kilos chicken backs and necks
·4 liters water
·2 large cups baby cabbage chopped
·2 cups carrots chopped
·Parsley 5 strings
·3 liters water (chicken broth works great)
In a large kettle or pot, heat up 4 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add in the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides evenly. Remove the chicken and reserve. Add 1 cup of water to pot and deglaze it over medium heat. Make sure to loosen all the scrapings of browned bits. Add these dripping to the chicken and reserve this.
In the same pot, heat up the remaining oil over medium heat. Add in the baby cabbageand carrots and cook until baby cabbage are transparent. Add in the reserved chicken with the drippings, parsley, remaining water, and bring all this to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer covered for 2 hours.
To obtain stock, strain the mixture and let it cool down to room temperature. Refrigerate. Remove any fat from the top surface. This can be used within several days or freeze and use in portions.
To make soup, remove all the chicken parts and serve the vegetables and broth over kibbles.
Turkey and Vegetable Mix
·two pounds of ground turkey and a bag of chopped
·mixed vegetables
I choose turkey because it’s easier to digest than beef. (Using fresh veggies is actually a better idea because they have more minerals and vitamins in them.) This made a day’s meals for my little Beagle. How much you’ll need to make will depend on the size of your dog. You can always make up a big pot of this recipe, then refrigerate the leftovers. You can refrigerate the leftovers for up to a week. Then, for his or her next meal, just take out the desired amount and microwave it until it’s just warm……..

12.5 weeks – feeling fat.. is this normal?
Friday, November 19th, 2010If you answered this last night, I’m sorry… you all gave great answers, I just had more details to add.
I’m eating very carefully – here’s what I had today:
breakfast small bowl cereal
lunch sandwich (tomato and cheese)
snack dehydraded fruit strip (3 throughout day)
carrots and hummus
dinner chicken breast, vegetables, and brown rice (1 cup)
dessert kettle corn popcorn
Am I eating too much??? I’m starting to feel uncomfortable in my clothes… I’m able to still wear my regular jeans (I even wore them today to work)… I can’t button the button, though… it gives me cramps from the snugness. When I wear my regluar pants I wear a maternity shirt only because it is longer and I don’t want people seeing my pants undone (plus my breasts are VERY big at this point, 36DDD, and pull my shirt up a lot in the front) and vice versa when I’m wearing maternity pants.
I don’t understand why I’m feeling so uncomfortable at just 12.5 weeks… is this normal????

Baked spanish brown rice?
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010Ingredients
1 1/2 cups brown rice, medium or short grain
2 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Place the rice into an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
Bring the water, butter, and salt just to a boil in a kettle or covered saucepan. Once the water boils, pour it over the rice, stir to combine, and cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.
this is an alton brown recipe and i was wondering if i used chicken stock for half the liquid and tomato sauce for the other half if it might come out, what do you think?

Replacing brown rice with white?
Friday, September 3rd, 2010I’m a teenager whoe’s pretty new to cooking and altering recipes too much, but I want to use brown rice in this recipe. I’m aware that brown rice takes a heck of a lot longer to cook, so I was wondering if it’s possible? And while it change the nutritional information that much, and how? (other than more fibre obviously)

Serves: 4
Yield: 4 servings
Ready in: 1 hour 10 mins (30 mins Prep – 40 mins Cook )
The spicy tomato flavour and aroma of this one-pot rice dish make it really appealing. Tender chunks of fish, juicy prawns and plenty of vegetables all combine to make a well-balanced, complete meal.
Recipe provided by:
Readers Digest | Healthy One-Dish Cooking
Ingredients
¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
1 large red onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
½ head of celery, finely diced and leaves reserved for garnish
1 red capsicum, deseeded and chopped
½ teaspoon chilli powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1¼ cups (250 g) long-grain rice
2 × 400 g cans chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
300 g skinned firm white fish fillet, cut into four pieces
8 peeled raw prawns
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
4 lemon wedges
Preparation method
Put the oil in a large, deep frying pan and heat gently. Add the onion, garlic, celery, red capsicum, chilli and cumin. Cook, stirring often, for 10–12 minutes until softened. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Drain the tomatoes in a sieve over a heatproof measuring jug or bowl, then set aside. Bring a kettle of water to the boil. Add the tomatoes to the rice, sprinkle the thyme over the top, stir well and reduce the heat a little.
Make up the tomato juice to 1 litre with boiling water, pour into the pan and stir well. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pan with the lid slightly ajar, and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
Season the rice to taste, then place the pieces of fish on top. Continue cooking, partly covered as before, for 5 minutes. Stir the rice carefully and turn the fish over, then add the prawns. Partly cover the pan again and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the prawns have turned pink, the fish pieces are cooked, and the rice is tender. The dish should be moist, not dry.
Remove from the heat, cover tightly and leave for 5 minutes. Scatter the celery leaves and parsley over the top and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over.

can i cook brown rice using just boiling water from a kettle?
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010I eat brown rice regularly (it is the majority of what i eat on a dairly basis) and last month I moved to a university residence where stove tops are not available. All I own is an electric stainless steel water kettle (and there’s a microwave, but I don’t like using it..)
what are the guidelines to cooking brown rice using only the appliances I have? Best answers are those that avoid using microwave
