I gave up making rice a long time ago. I usually just do the uncle bens rice. I even asked for a rice cooker for xmas and even that didn't come out that great. My brother gave me some pointers awhile ago of which I had forgotten about. Recently, I was talking to him and he said the most important thing is to remember to put the cover on and do not take that cover off until the rice is done. Recently, I bought some long grain white rice. The package says after the water is boiling, pour rice in and simmer for 20 minutes. I put the lid on and didn't even look until the end. Guess what? It came out good!!!! yeahhhhh. I have to use our simmer burner though because the other burners would of ate up all the water in no time and the rice would probably burn before the 20 minutes. I'm just starting to feel a little more confident. I really don't know much about rice though. Yesterday I put a few chix boulon cubes in the water to make chix flavored rice. My DH doesn't like just plain rice, so I have to think of ways to dress it up.
