Wild Rice in the Zojirushi Neuro-Fuzzy Rice Cooker

All the websites say it is possible, even the Zojirushi website, but none of them tell you how! Well, here's how you cook wild rice in the Zojirushi.

1 unit rice
rinsing water
additional 3 units of water

Allow a good 2 hours before dinner.

Rinse the rice by putting it in a bowl, filling the bowl with water, giving the rice a stir and then pouring off the excess water. Do this a couple of times.

Place the washed rice and 3 units of water in the Zojirushi, and use the menu setting button to change the setting to "brown rice."

This rice will take a long time to cook, and should be allowed to sit in the cooker for quite a while before serving, to dry out some more. Using the extra water (3 to 1 ratio as listed) will make sure that the rice is fully cooked. Wild rice is not actually a rice, and it has a tendency to be served at an inappropriately crunchy stage - when fully cooked, the grains should have split open completely, and the insides will be an interesting translucent gray-white color. There will be a pleasant chewy quality to the brown part of the grain, but you won't need to make a trip to the dentist after eating!
