There are a lot of ways you can go wrong cooking rice.

How To Cook Rice

water

c. white long grain rice

butter

Kosher salt

I live at 5,300 ft elevation and I cook on a gas stove with propane, so I thought I'd put in my changes for anyone in the same circumstances. This is a great recipe. For higher elevation and hotter cooking stoves add 1/3 cup water for a total of 2 1/3 cups water. Follow the recipe exactly as written except use a flame tamer under the pot, cook it for 25 minutes, then remove from heat as directed &amp; let it stand for 5 more minutes before fluffing with a fork.

This recipe is perfect! I have been struggling to make good rice for a while and followed many recipes and my rice always came out hard. I think the most important part was watching the video, and seeing specifically what the "gentle simmer" appeared to be. I also, washed my rice until the water was clear and then soaked it for about 10 minutes. Used Carolina Basmati rice, followed the label instructions for water to rice ratio but followed temperature and time instructions in this guide and came out perfect!!

Well I guess I don't have the knack for making rice on the stovetop. I've tried this recipe 3 times. I do not live at high elevation. I have a fairly new electric stove. With my burner on the lowest setting the rice is boiling hard enough that I have to tilt the lid or risk having the rice boil over. I end up having to leave the rice on the stove for 40 mins, still not done, and finish it in the microwave.  )-:

This was so easy! The rice was perfect! I had never made rice before. Thank you!!

Just made this recipe and its great. Thank you

Followed the instructions exactly... At 30 minutes my brown rice was horribly burnt. Not sure what I did wrong, I made sure to turn down the heat after adding the rice.

This worked perfect for me, my first time cooking rice and it tastes amazing.

This is not how rice should be cooked. 
For perfect rice it should be :
 1 1/2 cup of water for 1 cup of rice, stop the heat as soon as the water runs out, then let sit for 10 minutes. 

You should NEVER have to drain the water.

My pot kept overflowing even when on the lowest heat! Changed it over to a weaker stove and seemed to do the trick but had to have the lid ajar.

I'm almost 13 years old, and if you do this recipe step by step and watch the rice, you will make perfect rice.

Works pretty great! Still a good idea to rinse your rice if you’re using a cooker though. Gets the grains clean and makes cleaning the cooker easier.
