PERFECT BASMATI RICE EVERYTIME
After years of "wrecking the rice" I had given up hope of not ending up with scorched or gummy rice. While in the lunch line at a local hospital I remarked how perfect the rice they served was and my inability to prepare rice. The chef overhearing my remarks told me this method. He assured me it would be as perfect as the rice he was serving that day. He was correct as this method has never failed me. I have not tried it with regular long grain rice as Basmati is my favorite. You can adjust the amount of rice as desired...more or less. Just make certain the water level is no less than one inch above the rice level. This method would not work for wild or brown rice which require a longer cooking time.
