    You forgot to add that you nee to keep the rice covered until the water evaporates .. not not let it be uncovered and let the water leave

      Yes I did. Thank you :)
      Covering the rice will help the slow heat to cook it until it's soft.

      Mèsi anpil :)

    I tried this recipe the first time my rice came out mushy.
    Then I cooked it again and I kept the cover off until most the water was gone ,then I covered it and lowered the heat and cooked it for the 20 min.
    It was wonderful! !thank you:)
    What are the measurments to cook more rice?

      For white rice, I like Jasmine rice. It's usually about 1 1/4 cup of water to 1 cup of rice.
      For brown rice, Uncle Ben's would do. Brown rice usually requires more water. it's about 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice.
      Check the package instruction so you may accurate depending on whether you have short grain or long grain rice.
