Steps:
- Pour the water into an electric kettle. Place the butter into a medium saucepan and set over high heat. Gently jiggle until the bubbling ceases and the butter just begins to brown. Flip on the electric kettle. Add the rice and salt to the saucepan and stir constantly until the kettle clicks off or the rice begins to brown, whichever comes first. Carefully add the water to the pan, stir and cover with a lid. Decrease the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, let stand for 5 minutes, and uncover. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Steps:
- Fill a roomy saucepan with water, bring to the boil and tip in a heaped teaspoon of salt - the water will bubble furiously. Pour in the rice, stir once and return to the boil, then turn the heat down a little so that the water is boiling steadily, but not vigorously.
- Boil uncovered, without stirring (this makes for sticky rice) for 10 minutes. Lift some out with a slotted spoon and nibble a grain or two. If they're too crunchy, cook for another minute and taste again. They should be tender but with a little bite.
- Drain the rice into a large sieve and rinse by pouring over a kettle of very hot water. Leave to drain well, then tip into a warm serving dish. Serve the rice as it is, or fork through a little butter and parsley to jazz it up.

Steps:
- In a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan combine all ingredients and boil, uncovered, until steam holes appear in rice and grains on surface appear dry, about 8 minutes. Cover pan and cook rice over very low heat 15 minutes more. Remove pan from heat and let rice stand, covered, 5 minutes.
- Fluff rice with a fork before serving.
Tips:
- Use the right type of rice. Short-grain rice, such as Japanese rice or sushi rice, is best for making fluffy, sticky rice. Medium-grain rice, such as jasmine rice or basmati rice, is also a good choice. Long-grain rice, such as brown rice or wild rice, is not as good for making fluffy rice.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly. This will remove the starch from the rice, which can make it gummy. Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear.
- Use the proper water-to-rice ratio. The amount of water you use will depend on the type of rice you are cooking. Generally, you will need about 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. This will help the rice cook evenly. Cover the pot and let the rice simmer for about 18 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed.
- Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to finish cooking and absorb any remaining moisture.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains of rice and make it light and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Making perfect rice is a simple task, but it does require a little bit of attention to detail. By following these tips, you can make fluffy, delicious rice every time.
