Cooking rice in a pot is a classic skill! Generally, you'll want to rinse the rice first, then combine it with water at a 1:2 ratio (1 cup rice to 2 cups water). Bring it to a boil, then lower to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 18 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Let it sit off heat for another 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Do you enjoy cooking other types of grains or have a favorite rice dish?
