These instructions can be used for regular white ("long grain") rice, Basmati rice, and Jasmine Rice.
(Brown rice takes different instructions.)
As a basic rule, you need twice as much water as you do rice.
For 3-5 servings of rice:
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Add 1 cup of rice (long grain, basmati, or jasmine)
Add 1/4 tsp. salt
Turn heat to low and put a lid on (cracked, so it doesn't boil over at the beginning).
Set a timer for 22 minutes. (After 10 min. or so, you can put the lid all the way on.)
When timer goes off, turn off the heat.
It is best to let it sit (still covered) for another 5-10 minutes, if you can.
Note for larger amounts:
If you need to cook more than 4 cups of water and 2 cups of rice, do it in small batches as the proportions will be off.
