DO NOT USE INSTANT OR MINUTE RICE!!!.

Prepare Rice:

Rinse thoroughly if needed. (Talc coated)

Place rice in a large pot or bowl and completely cover with cold water. Water level should be about 3 inches higher than the rice level.

Reduce heat to medium low (drop to a simmer), cover, and cook about 10 more minutes. Do not remove cover or otherwise disturb the rice.

Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes with the cover on, then fluff gently(stir from bottom to top) just prior to serving.
