Ok this sounds dumb, but it took me forever to learn how to cook rice. In the end, I came up with this method and it has yet to fail me. The only thing is that you won't get any of the crunchy bits with this method.
Perfectly cooked rice
In a pot, combine twice as much water as rice. So if you use a 1/2 cup of rice, use 1 cup of water. Add an additional 2 splashes of water and a little butter or oil. Bring to a boil then stir. Start a timer for 5 minutes and let it be. Then cover, turn the heat down a bit and time another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it be for 5 more minutes. That's it! Now when I say let it be, I mean just that! Don't poke it, don't stir it, and for goodness sake do not futz with the cover during the last 10 minutes. That's the secret to success.
