How To Cook Rice

Here's How:

1. In a 2-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, bring 2 cups of water seasoned with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a rolling boil.
2. Pour in 1 cup of long-grain rice.
3. Reduce heat to low.
4. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Do not stir.
5. Remove from heat and leave covered until serving time.
6. Fluff with a fork just before serving.
7. This will make about 4 servings.

Tips:

1. If your rice is done but there's excess water, drain using a colander.
2. For flavored rice, use chicken, vegetable, or other broth in place of the liquid.
