The rice got rave reviews, despite my habit of never being able to properly cook rice. My husband, who almost never likes rice as a side dish, said he really liked it. I really liked it too.
I used brown long grain rice, which may or may not have impacted the cooking time. I accidentally over boiled so that there wasn't any water covering the rice after the first step, so added more water and I also had to simmer it about 10-15 minutes longer than directed.
