Perfect Basic White Rice

1. 1

   In a saucepan with a good fitting lid bring water, salt and optional ingredients if desired to a boil. The salt and butter are simply for flavor. The vinegar keeps your grains separated and gives you a prettier dish. No one will taste the vinegar at all!

2. 2

   Add rice and stir.

3. 3

   Cover and reduce heat to medium low. You will know that your temperature is correct if a little steam is visible leaking from the lid. A lot of steam means your heat is too high.

4. 4

   Cook for 20 minutes.

5. 5

   DO NOT LIFT LID!

6. 6

   The steam that is trapped inside the pan is what allows the rice to cook properly.

7. 7

   Remove from heat and fluff with fork.

8. 8

   Serve!
