Classic Stove-Top Method for Perfect White Rice

I love this recipe! It works perfectly for long grain basmati rice that we buy in bulk from Costco! I always rinse the rice a couple times so that it is not too sticky, and the 1:1 ratio is perfect! I cook 4-6 cups of rice at any given time, so I usually add about 1/2 cup extra water to compensate for evaporation while I wait for it to boil, and then cover it one the rice goes in! My brother tried to tell me it wouldn’t work but it always does for long grain! I only keep it on the heat for 15 minutes and then usually keep it on the same eye, off of course, for the last 10 minutes. It’s always a hit with my family!

The rice was perfect fluffy and delicious, but, I added 1/4 cup more water to the 1 cup and after boiling let simmer for 12 minutes, very yummy.

The recipe is wrong. You should use 2 cups of water, not 1. Found that out the hard way because I didn’t read the comments first.

I'm so glad I read your comment. I knew that didn't sound right but wasn't paying attention I did catch it in time tho.

Sorry Martha (or whoever actually wrote this). You're absolutely wrong on this basic recipe! The recipe needs double the amount water to the uncooked rice.

The ratio for this recipe is wrong. Rice should be cooked with 1:2 ratio of rice to water. If you have 1 cup dry white rice, use 2 cups of water to cook it.
