Good rice is not hard to produce with standard equipment. I use a mundane 1-quart pot with a tight lid & find it quite satisfactory. May I offer the following recipe? MUNDANE RICE of 3/4 cup long grain rice (Uncle Ben's is okay) 1 cup water 1 tsp butter 1 chicken bouillon cube 1 bay leaf a small piece of lemon rind Dump everything in a 1 quart pot. With the lid on bring to a boil. If you are using an electric stove, turn the burner off. If you have a gas stove turn the heat down as low as you can. Wait 20 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve. Ah yess -- remove the bay leaf.
