Rice is one of the simplest things you can make. Here is the basic method I use to make rice several times a week.
1. Pour 2-3 cups of rice into a saucepan. No need to measure.
2. Pour in enough water so that the depth of water above the rice is the same as the distance from your fingertip to your first knuckle. Stick your finger in the water to measure. After you've done this many, many times you'll be able to eyeball it without measuring. (The amount of water necessary is somewhat approximate, so it doesn't matter how big your hands are.)
3. Place pan over high heat until water starts to boil.
4. Turn heat down as low as it will go, stir well with a fork, scraping the bottom.
5. Cover, and simmer: 20 minutes for white rice, 45 for brown rice.
6. Turn off the heat and leave the cover on until serving time. This keeps the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

I just tried this last night and now it will be my routine. I have always struggled with brown rice but it turned out perfectly using this method!
