One of the best memories I have, is learning to make rice. It’s a science.
The trick to rice is to add double the amount of liquid and taste your broth. If your broth needs seasoning, then so will your rice.
And finally, do not open the lid to check it, because you will ruin it. Curiosity killed the cat and will do the same with your rice. Wait the 30 minutes and you will have fluffy, tasty, wonderful rice. Provecho!

Instructions
