                                          • Boil water.
                                          • Place 1 qt brown rice (1 lb 9 oz) in each steam table pan (12" x 20" x 2½").
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                            For 100 servings, use 4 pans.
                                          • Pour boiling water (1 qt 1 cup per steam table pan) over brown rice. Stir. Cover pans tightly.
                                          • Bake:
                                            Conventional oven: 350 °F for 40 minutes.
                                            Convection oven: 325 °F for 40 minutes.
                                            Steamer: 5 lb pressure for 25 minutes.
                                          • Remove cooked rice from oven and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Stir rice.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Heat to 140 °F or higher.
