How to Prepare Rice

 

For best results when instructions are not available use this method:

 

In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup (250ml) rice, liquid (see chart), 1 tsp (5ml) salt (optional), and 1 Tbsp (15ml) butter or margarine (optional).  Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer.  Cook according to time specified on chart.  If rice is not quite tender or liquid is not absorbed, replace lid and cook 2 to 4 minutes longer.  Fluff with fork.

 

Microwave:  Place ingredients in a 2 to 3 qt (2 to 3L) microwave baking disk.  Cover and cook High 5 minutes or until boiling.  Reduce to Medium and cook 15 minutes (30 minutes for brown rice).  Fluff with fork.
