help -- I can't cook brown rice. The package says to use 2 1/2 C water to 1 C rice -- bring water to boil, add rice, and simmer covered for 45 minutes. OK. This didn't work. The pan was still awash in liquid and the rice was only partially hydrated. So I looked in the cookbook, and it says for brown rice to use 2 C water to 1 C rice, and otherwise same as the package. This time it looked sort of OK, but it was crunchy in the middle and still had way too much leftover liquid.

I cook white rice all the time in this exact same pot and I never have any problem getting non-crunchy rice. I don't know what would be so different about brown rice, other than the longer cooking time.

help???
