Another way to make white rice is to steam the rice. Just add the rice and water to a steamer basket, cover, and set the timer for 10 minutes. Then remove the rice and fluff it with a fork.

5. Bring the pot to a simmer over medium-high heat

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve.

For a perfectly cooked white rice, use a heavy bottomed pot and cover it with a tight fitting lid. Bring the pot of water to a boil before adding the rice. Once the water has boiled, reduce the heat to low and place the pot of rice over the simmering water. Stir the rice occasionally so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Cook the rice for 18 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
In the oven, white rice is a breeze. Simply remove the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and put it back in the oven. It doesn't get much easier than that!
If you're making a large batch of rice and want to avoid having to constantly stir it, it's a good idea to spread the rice out in a single layer on a baking sheet and put it in the oven. This will allow the oven to do its job of cooking the rice evenly.
