[quote=Anonymous]Directions on the bag usually say to put the rice in at first, when the water's cold. But in my experience, it works better if you wait until the water is boiling, then add the (unrinsed) rice, wait for it to come to a boil again*, and then turn it down to low and cover. Be warned, brown rice takes FOREVER to cook. (White rice is something like 20 minutes after you lower the heat, while brown rice is more like 45 minutes after you lower the heat.) *A friend of mine's mom called this the "fish eye" stage, because the bubbles coming up through the rice look like fish eyes -- she grew up in Thailand, and I don't know if that wording was a her thing or a Thai thing, but I think it describes what you're looking for perfectly.[/quote]
