Boiling some rice. Says 10 mins. It's been on a boil for 20 and still not done. FFS this is why I buy microwave rice. Just needed to rant. They lie on the packets

Brown rice I allow 24 hours.

White rice? Should be done. My brown rice takes the time on the packet.

Don’t try brown rice then…

Never had that, rinse the rice, cold water (1.5x volume of rice) bring to boil and lid on for ten minutes. 20 minutes would be mush in my experience
