I also loved this recipe. However, my rice did not cook either. So, I removed it to stove and the rice cooked in a very short time. - 9/14/08

Hmmm. Maybe putting the rice in sooner would help or cooking the whole thing on high. I know for my slow cooker it only takes about an hour. A friend said that some crock pots differ in time and temp. I don't know? I cooked it last weekend and it worked.

File (pronounced 'fee-lay') powder is ground sassafras leaves &is used as a thickener when okra is out of season or not used. I've never heard of using both. File should never be put in till AFTER the dish is cooked--it can get slimy. A little is sprinkled on at the table by diners themselves. - 6/21/15

So far smells great. But, how long is it supposed to cook AFTER adding the rice? I added the rice two hours ago and it's still not done; this is after I turned it up to high over 3 hours ago. (4 hours into the cooking time). The recipe doesn't address that. - 9/11/08

Generally it only take about an hour for it to cook after adding the rice. Hmmm not sure why yours wasn't done after two?

I need to make some changes - I'm going to lessen the amount of liquid - it was too soupy. And I'm going to increase the spices a bit. I also had trouble with the rice not cooking - I will use much less rice next time too. I agree it should have been 1.5 cups of cooked rice, not uncooked rice. - 5/2/13

This is very good, I did add the rice earlier and cooked it for 1 1/2 hours. However, I think the nutrition information is a bit off, since 1/4 c uncooked brown rice is 150 calories. Maybe the database is a bit off? Or the calories are for 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice? Either way, yummy meal! - 10/17/08

I think she meant file powder
Gumbo file powder is a necessity for cooking authentic Cajun cuisine. Quite simply, gumbo file powder is the powdered leaves of the sassafras tree. When ground, they smell somewhat like eucalyptus or juicy fruit gum.
Long before the use of file powder for Creole a - 9/6/08

Thank you for assisting. I fixed the recipe so now I think it is much clearer. I am actually fixing it again for my family tonight. They are super excited.
