Never Fail Perfect Cooked Rice
" Rice cookers are wonderful but if you don't have one this is the way to cook perfect rice.. I like to use Basmati long grain. I like to add a bit of extra flavor so I pop a chicken stock or other flavoring into the cooking water. Pre soaking your rice does remove some starch."
