I'm learning how to cook brown rice in an automatic rice cooker. I just put an excessively large amount of water. People that cook the stuff tell me to let the rice soak for a few hours but I rarely have the time. These days I've been trying to forego rice. The last batch my son made has been sitting on the counter too long. I thought it was rice and black beans in there. It looked kinda good.
