[QUOTE="Archive7, post: 972446"] This might seem trivial and easy, but it took me a long time to make good white rice. First of all, I don't have gas at home. They kept raising the monthly payment even if you don't use gas and I use hot electric plates since last six years. The trick with making good rice is to have a good temperature control. Every time I changed the hot plates (I am too lazy to clean them so I throw them away and buy new ones once a year) and then I need to calibrate the thermostat so to speak to know which knob settings are best. OK, now to business. Use a small pot with a lid cover with handle. For one serving, fill half a cup with white rice. Fill another cup with 3/4 cup cold water. Set the hot plate knob to maximum and bring the water to boil. Put the rice content over the boiling water while stirring. Add a tiny amount of olive oil. Add half teaspoon table salt while stirring. Cover the pot with the lid and set the knob to a lower number. I use number 3 with a maximum of 5. leave it for at least 15 minutes without peeking. Then take the cover off to inspect. If everything has gone well then you should see the rice looks nice in one layer and just steaming. Leave it for another 10 minutes at lower temperature say number 2 or 1. Switch off the hotplate and serve. Enjoy. I am thinking of buying a rice cooker, but all I can find is large ones and I need for just two servings. [/QUOTE]
