For long-grain brown rice, use 1 1/4 cups water to 1 cup rice. For short-grain, use 1 1/2 cups water. Quick Cooking Time: Bring rice, water, and coarse salt (1/4 teaspoon per cup of rice) to a boil. Cover, and reduce to a slow, steady simmer. Many recipes call for 50 minutes, but we think 30 minutes is plenty.
To cook brown rice, simply fill water to the corresponding water measure line for brown rice, or use 1.5 times the amount of water to rice if your rice cooker does not have a brown rice setting. (If cooking in a rice cooker without a Brown Rice setting, please limit the amount of brown rice to 2/3 of the rice cooker's capacity to prevent it from overflowing.) To cook long grain rice, rinse the rice once, and use 1-1/4 times the amount of water to rice, and cook using the mixed rice setting.
