Plain White Boiled Rice - Master Recipe #3

I've never used a rice cooker, although everyone I know who uses one swears by them. I hate washing gadgets. Ok - I hate washing anything, but especially gadgets. Like the George Foreman grill - what a pain. Anyway, we make rice all the time at our house, because we are always making stir fry, as we did tonight. Orange Beef. Won't find that one in The Way To Cook.

I've always made rice in a pot on the stove top. So imagine my thrill when I discovered that I make rice EXACTLY like JC's master recipe. EXACTLY. Cool. One thing I don't do is set a timer, but I did this time - 12 minutes to check status. It actually needed about 14 minutes. I was also thrilled that it had a few steam holes just like the photo in the book - really! Anyway, routine cooking tonight - boring, but another one down!
