Easy peasy every time.
Big pan of water, plenty of water, more than enough.
Salt if you like.
Bring to boil.
Put oven on at about 150.
Put measured rice in water.
Boil for ten minutes*
Butter a bowl.
Strain rice.
Put rice in bowl and put in oven for 5-10 minutes.
*10 minutes was how I started. Its whatever you like. I cook mostly basmati and I boil for 8 minutes. If you like it al dente a little less because it carries on cooking in the oven. I make a well in the rice in the bowl and spread it around the sides a bit, dries better.
You may need a little trial and error but rice cooked this way is fluffy and dry. Its very nearly foolproof.
Bye bye to boarding school gooey rice soup muck.
