I keep forgetting how to do this. So I’m posting it here where it’s easy to find. Cooking Long-Grain White Rice: 2 teaspoons butter or cooking oil 1 cup long-grain white rice (not converted) 1 1/2 cups water 1/2 teaspoon salt Heat butter/oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add rice; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 3 minutes. Add water and salt; bring to boil, swirling pot (not stirring!) to blend ingredients. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 15 min. Turn off heat; let rice stand on burner, still covered, to finish cooking, about 14 min. longer. Fluff with fork and serve....
