Wild rice is barely related to any other variety of rice, btw. You can't/shouldn't substitute another variety (e.g. brown rice) when your diet says "wild rice is OK."

Wild rice takes an hour to cook. 50mins under heat and 10mins off-heat. It absolutely won't cook properly in one of those "rice cookers." Been There, Tried That.

Other varieties of rice are like 20min jobs.

(Edit to add) I'm not disagreeing with David, btw. Just adding my $0.02 on top.
