I am rice-challenged (if I cook it on the stove top it's either too mush or burned). Fortunately, Good Eats came to my rescue with a recipe for baked brown rice. It couldn't be any easier.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Then bring 2 1/2 cups of stock to a boil (don't use water-stock is so much tastier).
In the meantime, measure 1 1/2 cups of rice and pour it into the baking dish.
Wait for the stock to boil (don't watch it or it won't boil ;-)).
Once it's boiling, kill the heat, and pour the stock into the baking dish. Stir the stock and rice together.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
See, perfectly cooked rice!
Be sure to fluff it with a fork before serving (or storing).
This recipe makes 4-6 servings (depending on how hungry you are).
