How long to cook brown rice

Two things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 40:00

Which rice?

Soaked first?

Soaking brown rice makes a real difference — it is the one grain where it is worth planning ahead.

How to tell without a timer

Off the heat, lid on, ten minutes before you touch it.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
