What adjustments should I make if I use fresh thyme?
Jessica Fisher
The rule of thumb is to use three times as much fresh herb as you would dried. So 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme is 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme.
Libby
I only have instant 90 seconds rice for tonight will that work?
Jessica Fisher
Hi Libby. No, instant rice won’t work for this recipe, but you could still add the thyme and lemon for flavor!
Ginny
Best rice ever! I won’t make rice any other way now. Thank you!
Felicia Dalzell
This is a great recipe!! I use it a couple times per week and tweak the seasoning depending on what protein I’m using.
Jessica Fisher
Yay! So glad it’s working as a template for you!

Thanks for this recipe, been looking for one that cooks all together. Without cooking rice 1st. Excellent recipe, tasty.
Jenn Clark
Lovely yummy rice it was a family hit. The oven method did not work. I doubled the recipe and cooked it longer but I had other items in the oven too. I ended up cooking in a pan. But the flavor was delicious.
Jessica Fisher
Yes, anytime you increase amounts or change the cooking atmosphere will affect cooking times. Glad you were able to enjoy it anyway!
Penny
Thank you so much for the recipe. I used it as a launching point for dinner last night . Chunked in a bag of broccoli and lots more lemon. Baked it until the rice was almost done then added tilapia filets on top and baked it 20 more minutes. Was very delicious. Next time I’m going to try adding some cheese. I won’t throw away my rice cooker (it’s an antique at 39 years old) but I will definitely use this recipe when I want to jazz up my rice game. Thanks again .
Jessica Fisher
Great way to adapt the base recipe. Thanks for sharing, Penny.
Amy
This is SOOOO delicious!!
Jessica Fisher
So glad you liked it!

I’m considering using this method to cook 27 cups (dry) rice for a camp I am cooking at in a couple weeks. The pans would be larger obviously, but do you think the cook time would need to be altered?
Jessica Fisher
I am not really sure. How many pans would you divide it into?
Tanya Searle
I will be using pans that are about double to triple the size of a 9×13. I would need to figure out my ratio’s. Would more than 2 cups rice fit into a 9×13?
Jessica Fisher
Sorry for my delay in getting back to you! I have done 3 cups in a 9×13. I wouldn’t do more than that.
Jennifer Clark
Yes. You’ll need a lot longer cook time especially if you’re doing more pans in one oven.
Amy
Is this instant white rice or long grain rice?
Jessica Fisher
Use long grain.
Janel
Great idea. It would work alongside Jessika’s Roasted Vegetables, too, yeah?
Jessica Fisher
Absolutely!
Micha
Baking brown rice is the only way I can get it to turn out without half being mushy and the other crunchy. I’ve never tried baking white rice by itself but this looks tasty and I just happen to have everything for it.
Jessica Fisher
My kids love the flavor of baked rice. They claim it’s different than other rice, but I have no idea why that is.
Jessica Fisher
Also, I wonder if your burners aren’t balanced. If half is crunchy, my guess is the heat it too high on one side, or you need a better quality pot?
