I�m Kathy Maister
Today we�re cooking some white rice.
To make 3 cups of cooked rice you�ll need 2 cups of water and 1 cup of long or medium grain white rice.
Adding Salt and butter is optional, but it certainly does make a difference in the taste.
It�s important to measure very carefully! No guessing allowed!
Using a two quart heavy sauce pan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil.
Add 1 cup of rice, � teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of butter, �.. stir only once or you�ll end up with mushy rice!
Cover the pot and return the water to a boil
Immediately turn the stove down to simmer and turn the timer on for 20 minutes.
Cooking times differ slightly on all stove so��
After 17 minutes check to see if all the water has been absorbed
When you take the cover off, the top of the rice may look like it is totally cooked.
However, with a spoon, you need to gently move the rice to see if there�s still water to be absorbed at the bottom.
Perfect!
Cheers!
