Thanks so much for providing this simple recipe! My rice turned out great, then I told my daughter how to make white rice. She said hers was always crunchy before using your recipe! Giving away our teflon rice maker as a result of the simplicity of making rice!

Yes! That’s what keeps the rice from drying out if you don’t put a lid on it then it’ll dry out.
If I’m making Mexican rice which my friend in Durango said she doesn’t know why people add tomatoes but real rice does not. She adds strips of jalapeno corn and peas to it to give more flavor. She’ll also put in slices of garlic and some onion and then pull those out right before she serves it to give a lot of flavor to it

In reply to Tony. Hi Tony, we typically just rinse it, but that's a good idea too! If you soak the rice for 24 hours, the cook time may be slightly shorter.

Hi, with the debate about Arsenic in all rice, I have heard that soaking the rice first for 24 hours and then discarding the water is a prudent step?

In reply to Svea Sarkkinen. Hi Svea, yes! You should cover the rice when simmering.

Do you leave the lid on when simmering?

Hi! If I want to cook 2 cups of rice, should I just double the amount of water?
Thanks!
