How to Prepare Rice

For best results, always follow package directions. When directions are not available, use this easy method: Combine 1 cup rice, liquid (see chart below), 1 tsp. salt (optional) and 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine (optional) in a 2-3 quart saucepan. Heat to boiling, stir once or twice. Reduce heat; cover and simmer. Cook according to the time specified in the chart. If the rice is not quite tender or liquid not absorbed, replace the lid and cook 2 to 4 minutes longer. Fluff with fork.
