Every time I cook rice it comes out bad. Tips? I'd like to be able to make edible rice without purchasing an appliance. Movies and history tell me this is possible??

Plain white basmati rice.

One cup rice. If it’s not washed, wash it.

2 1/4 cups water.

1 heaping teaspoon salt.

Put rice, salt, and water in pot.

Bring to boil. Stir a little to keep rice from sticking too much.

Soon as it boils, take off heat, put heat to low, then put pot back on heat and put a lid on it.

~ 20 minutes later, check. Should not be any water in the bottom of the pot. If no water, eat!

Even if it says it's washed, wash it anyways. Starches rub off from the grains moving against each other in the bag.
