Microwave Rice

Method

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Rinse rice using a fine-mesh strainer, gently stirring by hand, until water runs somewhat clear.

3. 3

   Thoroughly drain rice and place in a 8-cup microwave safe bowl or container; add water, butter or oil, and salt.

4. 4

   Microwave uncovered on HIGH until water is mostly absorbed and some steam holes appear on the surface, 8 to 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Cover tightly with microwave safe plastic wrap, lid, or plate; microwave on HIGH for 4 more minutes until rice is tender and water is fully absorbed. Let stand, covered, for 6 minutes.

6. 6

   Uncover; fluff and taste rice using a fork. If rice is not yet tender, cover and microwave on HIGH in 1-minute intervals as needed until rice reaches desired consistency.

7. 7

   Serve immediately.
