What is the most correct water to rice ratio for brown rice, and for how long? I can't seem to get it right. Please help!

I'm going just slightly over 2 to 1, water to brown rice. So, for 1 cup brown rice I add 2 1/4 cups water, 2 cups brown rice, 4 1/2 cups water. Cooking time varies depending on quantity of rice I'm cooking. In my microwave (Panasonic 1200 watts), for 1 cup of brown rice it takes approx 14 - 15 minutes. if your microwave is less watts, ie, 950 watts, you'll need a few more minutes than me. It's ok to take the Sistema out of the microwave and check on the rice to see how it's doing. You're only taking the cover off for as long as it takes to check the rice - watch out for the hot steam ...). Take it out at 12 - 13 minutes (if you have a similar power microwave to mine), see where it's at and put it back for 2 more minutes, repeat until done. Once you have your timing down, you're good to go for every time you make brown rice without needing to do this 2 minute check thing. I keep a piece of paper with my spice box on which i mark down what I've done for different grains, to keep track of what worked. I also often make quinoa in the Sistema and it runs about the same cooking time as brown rice. And lastly, for best results let the Sistema stand for 3 - 4 minutes, with the cover on, after you take it out of the microwave. Don't know the reason why but you get a better, fluffier brown rice - quinoa.

It is, but the FAQ in the Sistema website has long abandoned the claim that the polypropylene material (as indicated by the "5" code in the recycling triangle icon and the "PP" label, both at the bottom of the container) is free from Bisphenol S, which has a chemical structure almost identical to BPA and is also a strong endocrine disruptor.

Does it come with any recipes, like beef stew or pea soup?
