How do YOU cook rice?

rice cooker. Press the button and leave it alone.

Boil way too much salty water, add rice, cook until it's done then pour into a strainer. Perfect...

Ever try Jasmine rice? It's awesome. It's pretty much all we eat now.

Mahatma has Jasmine rice. I'm sure there are other brands as well. Give it a try if you haven't already.

here is a great recipe for brown rice from americastestkitchen.com (cooks illustrated people)

Foolproof Oven-Baked Brown Rice
5/2004

To minimize any loss of water through evaporation, cover the saucepan and use the water as soon as it reaches a boil. An 8-inch ceramic baking dish with a lid may be used instead of the baking dish and foil. To double the recipe, use a 13 by 9-inch baking dish; the baking time need not be increased.

Serves 4 to 6

1 1/2 cups long-grain brown rice , medium-grain brown rice, or short-grain brown rice
2 1/3 cups water
2 teaspoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon table salt


1. Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread rice in 8-inch-square glass baking dish.

2. Bring water and butter or oil to boil, covered, in medium saucepan over high heat; once boiling, immediately stir in salt and pour water over rice. Cover baking dish tightly with doubled layer of foil. Bake rice 1 hour, until tender.

3. Remove baking dish from oven and uncover. Fluff rice with dinner fork, then cover dish with clean kitchen towel; let rice stand 5 minutes. Uncover and let rice stand 5 minutes longer; serve immediately.

perfect rice every time

half rice , twice water pat of butter.....on high until it starts to boil , then cover on low for twenty minutes.... i thought this was how everyone does it??

I use a rice cooker some, but here is an easy method for any amount of rice. Put the amount of rice you need in a boiler.Cover with enough water to reach the 1st knukle of your index finger when touching the rice. Salt lightly, and I also add a tablespoon of vinegar.Cut on high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium. When the water evaporates below the rice, place the lid on, reduce to a simmer, wait 20 min. and it's perfect every time.

I am a little different (you knew that)
I rinse the rice well then boil uncovered in salted water on the stovetop...stir occasionally..drain in collander and presto perfect rice.
