I don't have one of those pots. How do I make it the old-fashioned way?

  follow the same recipe, just use a large skillet with lid. Once the rice is browned, add liquids, bring to boil, cover, reduce heat to low, 20 to 30 mins later enjoy.

4 cups of water is waaaay too much! It should be 2 cups.
