Just a suggestion - try soaking it in water that is of a better quality than straight from the tap.

I use a presser cooker and I get great rice. I live in Leadville elevation 10,200ft. Also you can try a rice steamer. Good luck.

It's possible the boiling temps at the altitude where you live never get high enough to cook the rice. Which means you need a pressure cooker, which will compensate for the altitude. Higher up you go the lower the temp at which water boils. I think rice doesn't care where it cooks. Just needs enough BTUs, which it's not getting. Small pressure cookers are fairly cheap.

What I did in cooking brown rice is to soak the brown rice overnight then cook tomorrow the same way you cook the white rice. My sister is the one who told me to soak first the brown rice so, I tried it and it help.
