  It worked and tasted fine. Mine boiled out underneath the plasic wrap and made a mess in the microwave. But, I'd make it again. - 1/23/10

  I made this tonight for dinner, since there are only 2 of us I halved the amounts for both rice and water. Having read the comments I put a double layer of paper towels under the bowl and thus avoided a mess. - 5/12/10

  Great recipe! It was extremely simple!! Instead of using a plastic container I used a glass oven bowl with its glass lid and chicken broth instead of just water fir more taste!! I love how the rice came out!! - 4/7/10

  I love brown rice! I like to make mine using vegetable broth instead of water. The broth really adds nice flavor and no extra calories! :) - 1/27/10

  I love making super fast easy recipes. Thanks. I used a casserole dish w/it's glass cover. I've ruined a microwave safe container last time following the brown rice package instructions, so I really appreciate this tip! - 11/25/09

  I adapted this to 1 C brown rice + 2 C water, cut the 50% cooking time by 5 minutes, Viola! Perfect for family of two and leftovers can be added to next days lunch wrap or salad. - 4/2/11

  This is so much nicer than oven cooking, no worrying about burning or wasting gas. I didn't use plastic wrap on top though as I have read that the plastic wrap (even micro safe) leaves plastic particles in your food. - 1/27/11

  Wow, that works GREAT!!! Took a bit longer for me, think I'll try 70% power instead of 50% next time but other than that.....YAY!!! Thanks for sharing! - 2/19/10

  It worked great. It tasted good. I will cook my rice this way again. - 1/30/16

  With the standing time and all, this actually works out to about the same amount of time as the 35 minutes that it takes to fully cook brown rice on the stove, yet this seems to be more work. - 5/15/13

  I used my Success 10 minute Brown rice. 2 bags was 2 cups. I added diced veggies that added to 1 C and then Pace Picante Med. which was about 3 C plus another 1 C of water. I did the time it said in the recipe. Very moist and tasty! I added some canned, drained and rinsed black beans at the end - 5/8/12

  What kind of rice do you use? Regular long grain, instant, or 5 minute rice? Gunner - 4/21/12

  Never thought about making brown rice in the microwave (just a old school 40 min on the stovetop kinda girl) but will try this. My son ruins rice every time he cooks it so maybe this will be his saving grace for cooked rice. - 4/9/10

  Worked great but are you sure about the serving portion? I had a cup and so did my husband and there was quite a bit left, more than four servings. I used half chicken stock for the water and the flavor was great! - 2/1/10

  I just tried this recipe and find it exactly as delores77 said. It's foolproof. I was worried because my microwave does not operate on 50% power but it came out great anyway. Thank you. - 11/20/09

  Thanks for sharing the recipe.
  
  It didn't work so well for me. I made 1 cup rice 2 cups water. Perhaps because my microwave's high setting is only 700 watts? - 11/20/08

  I had put my brown rice in a mason jar to prevent it becoming buggy and I lost the directions. I ran to Spark Recipes and found this recipe. It worked and I did'nt even stick it to the pan like usual. - 8/30/08
