Boiled Rice
Charlotte Desormeaux

This recipe can be used to cook any amount of rice but it is wonderful when you want to cook one or two servings of rice to eat with leftover gumbo, stew, or whatever. This recipe is foolproof, you can't mess it up.

Decide how much rice you want to cook. (1/2 cup, 1 cup, 1 1/2 cup, etc.) Use a pot large enough to put 5 times the water in. That is 5 cups of water for 1 cup of rice, 2 1/2 cup of water for 1/2 cup of rice, etc. Add salt(to taste) to your water. Put the water to boil. When it is boiling, put in the measured rice. Set your timer to exactly 17 minutes. When it starts boiling again, stir and start the timer.
When the timer goes off, turn off the fire. Pour the rice in a collendar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. It will be perfect.
