Like white rice, brown rice has no husk. However it still has the bran around the grain. The longer cooking time can be a problem because it then becomes easy to burn the bottom layer of rice. Alton Brown has a couple of episodes of "Good Eats" on rice. In one of them he suggests that people bake the rice because it creates uniform heat and the rice will get cooked before any of the edges burn.

And I think I was involved in the orange chicken. Wasn't it topped with cranberries and pineapple?
