Cooking Rice

This is a reliable way to make rice that is not sticky with well-differentiated individual grains without a rice cooker. Although some may find this a little dry, this is the best way to cook rice when it is but a component of a more complex dish. Long-grain or any not starchy type of rice is recommended.
