PERFECT EASY MICROWAVE RICE

Perfect Easy Microwave Rice image

I got this recipe with the cookbook that came with my first Microwave and I've been using it ever since! The rice comes out perfect every time. No muss, no fuss and can be served in the casserole dish you cooked it in. You can also use this method for brown rice but increase your cooking time a little.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 cup white rice (not minute rice)
2 cups hot water
1 teaspoon butter or 1 teaspoon margarine
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Using a 2 quart casserole dish with lid, put rice, hot water, butter and salt in dish. Stir. (I put my casserole dish on a plate in the micro as sometimes the water boils over a little. Saves cleanup after).
Cover, and microwave on high power 5 minutes. Stir with fork (careful watch the steam!)
Cover and put back in microwave and cook on medium this time for 15 minutes.
Remove lid (careful again!) and fluff with fork.
Let stand 2-3 minutes.

Tips:

Use the right ratio of rice to water. This is the most important factor in cooking perfect rice in the microwave. The general rule is 1 cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups of water, but this can vary depending on the type of rice and the wattage of your microwave.
Rinse the rice before cooking. This removes the starch from the rice, which helps to prevent it from becoming sticky.
Add salt to the water before cooking. This helps to flavor the rice and prevents it from tasting bland.
Cover the rice while it is cooking. This helps to trap the steam and ensure that the rice cooks evenly.
Let the rice stand for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining water and finish cooking.

Conclusion:

Cooking rice in the microwave is a quick and easy way to get perfect results every time. By following these tips, you can cook fluffy, delicious rice that is perfect for any meal.
