If you are using basic white rice, 1/2 fill a saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Pour 1-3 cups of rice in and when boiling point is reached, reduce heat. Keep on a low boil for 10 minutes exactly. Decant rice into a sieve and drain it . It will be near perfect.

Always use double the amount of water as rice. Therefore, for one cup of rice you should use 2 cups of water, bring to boil and simmer covered for 20 minutes. Rice will be perfect.

For 4-5 cups of rice (around 2 pounds), you would need 8-9 cups of water to prevent the rice from becoming mushy. The standard rice to water ratio is 1:2.
