Rice...Your Best Method For Basic Cooked Rice?

I have a rice cooker, but the best method I use is from Justin Wilson...yep, Justin.
No volumes to be concerned with...just put the amount of rice you need in a boiler, and cover it with water up to the first knuckle on your index finger (that is touching the rice). Bring to a boil, uncovered, and then reduce heat to a hard simmer until the water evaporates below the rice and out of sight. Immediately lid and cut the heart to the lowest level for twenty minutes. Then fluff with a fork and serve. Perfect every time for any amount of rice needed. You're welcome.

No rice cooker here.
Whatever amount of rice with double the amount of water.
Bring water to boil.
Dump in rice.
Stir and let it come to a boil.
Reduce heat to 2-3(on a 10 scale)
Cover and let sit for 22 minutes.
Cut heat and remove top and fluff it around while I smell the goodness that is cooked rice

I use a steam rice cooker. I use less water than rice. I use jasmine rice and wash it first. I don't measure the water. I just add until it is a little below the surface of the rice. Perfect in 43 min every time.

Jasmine Rice 1:1.5 rice to water ratio. Bring water to a boil. Add rice and bring back to a boil. Cover and put on low for 20 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff and serve.

Too long....will not do.
Tiger Rice Cooker FTW.
Only people who know their way around a rice pot better than coonasses? Asians.
The spoon the cooker comes with is a revelation as well. Never any gummed up rice left on a spoon.
Your welcome.

I have a rice cooker. Some here might call it a microwave.
Put unrinsed rice in casserole dish with lid. If using 1 cup rice put 2 cups water, less a couple of Tablespoons water and whatever salt you like - for 1 cup rice, maybe a teaspoon of salt. Put lid on dish and cook at high heat watching until the water boils. It will boil over, so watch it. For my oven, that is about five minutes - never less than three or more than five. Then reduce power to 20% and set timer to 15 minutes. Walk away. You are trough until the "finished" bell goes off. Then take the lid off and fluff the rice.
Perfect cooked rice every time.
If you like butter, add a Tablespoon of butter and understand that it may not boil with the fat in the dish. After 5 minutes with butter, set the microwave to 15 minutes and the power at 20% and walk away. Fluff the rice wit a fork when the bell goes off.
If you like chicken broth, use chicken broth as if it were water. Leave salt out. If you like chicken broth and butter, go for it. Leave the salt out and prepare to be amazed at how good it is.
If you like a chicken or beef bullion cube in your rice, forget the salt.
I have not failed at cooking rice a single time since a week after we purchased our first microwave oven +30 years ago.
It ain't hard to do Pilgrims.
A recipe:
Make your rice with water. Make more then you need. Take some cooked rice out and into a bowl, mix in butter, cinnamon and sugar and microwave until the butter melts. Prepare to eat the best buttered cinnamon rice stuff you have ever consumed. I dare to say it will be equal or better than rice and caramelized onion brown gravy with roast beef drippings, which any idiot knows is the third level of paradise.

Put a big pot of water to salted water to boil. Dump your rice in, boil it for 18 minutes and drain off the excess water.

Microwave
White rice = 1 cup of rice, 2 cups water. Time cook 5:00, time cook 15:00 power level 5, start
Brown rice = 1 cup of rice, 2 1/4 cups water. Time cook 5:00, time cook 40:00 power level 5, start
I like to put a plate under the container becaus sometimes there is a nasty boil over.

Small, heavy pot (Le Creuset). 1.5 cups rice (regardless of type), 2.5 cups water, 1.5 Teaspoon salt.
Bring to boil over medium heat, gently stirring every 2-3 minutes. Once at a good boil, cover, heat down to low, cook 15 minutes. Kill heat, steam for 15 minutes. Fluff with fork.

The only thing I would add to this is 2 to 1 ratio....2 parts water to 1 part rice.
That's all

Have any of you noticed a taste difference between boiling or microwaving rice? I always microwave cause it's easier
