The Best Way to Cook Brown Rice

Measure out your rice and place into a sauce pot.  Measure out your water and place into pot as well.  Add a cube of chicken bouillon (I use Knorr brand bouillon cubes).  Let sit for about 2 hours, covered.  Turn heat on high.  When it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, covered.  Turn off heat and take pan off of the hot burner.  Stir.  Let sit covered for 5 minutes.  Fluff.  Best rice ever.  It has taken me years to find an easy and reliable way to cook brown rice.  This works better than any other method I have tried.  I usually cook two cups of dry, brown rice with four cups of water and two bouillon cubes.  This way, I have enough rice for two days worth of dinners.  This is also easy because I can put the rice on right after I clean up lunch and then just turn it on 45 minutes or so before dinner time.
