|
| You don't have to use weighing scales or liquid measures and can use a cup or mug in their place. Use one measure of rice to two measures of liquid. A standard mug, when filled to the brim, will hold around four portions of rice in its raw state. |
|
| Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the pan with a tight fitting lid. Leave the rice to cook for the recommended cooking time. |
|
| When the rice is cooked and the liquid absorbed, steam hole's can be seen on the rice's surface. |
|
| To serve, fluff with a fork. | |
| |
TIP! A standard mug, when filled up to the brim with raw rice will give two-four portions of cooked rice. |

FREE SIMMER METHOD |
|
| I Bring 1.4 litres (2 ¼ pints) of liquid to a full, rolling boil in a large saucepan. Add 250 g (9 oz), a four-portion size, or mug of rice. Bring back to the boil, then simmer, uncovered for the recommended cooking time. When the rice is cooked, drain off the water using a sieve. |

|
| TIP! It is not necessary to rinse any American-grown rice either prior to, or after cooking, as it is an extremely clean product produced to the highest standards. Rinsing merely washes away valuable nutrients. Use the handy cooking chart given on The Rice Cooking Chart for measurements and cooking times for all methods and rice types. |

MICROWAVE METHOD |
|
| Using the absorption method measures, put the quantities into a deep glass, ceramic or microwave dish with its own lid. Stir once, cover and cook, on full power, for the recommended time. Remove the dish and allow it to stand, still covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice prior to serving. |
