How do you cook rice?

[Caine]

I dump half the amount of rice required (one cup dry rice yields two cups cooked rice) into the rice cooker, place my hand on top of the rice like the itsy bitsy spider, fill the pot to my second knuckle with water, close the lid and push the GO button. When the bell rings, it's done!

same with brown rice only 45 min simmer time

medium and short grain rices differ. I steam sticky rice.
