To cook brown rice, measure out the desired amount. Rinse the rice under cold water. Combine the rice with water or broth in a saucepan. A common ratio is two parts liquid to one part rice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. This usually takes about 40 to 50 minutes.
