cooking brown rice??

London Posts: 176 Joined: 2003/01/10	2005/06/26, 11:22 AM I have one of those Tiger rice cookers.. you know, it's like a white cylinder with flowers on it. Anyway, it cooks up jasmine rice perfect, but I can NEVER get brown rice to turn out. On the rice pakcages it says to have 3 cups of water for each cup of brown rice, so I do that, but it's still like kinda crunchy and undercooked. Does anyone know what to do? Do you double cook it or something?
