I got this recipe with the cookbook that came with my first Microwave and I've been using it ever since! The rice comes out perfect every time. No muss, no fuss and can be served in the casserole dish you cooked it in. You can also use this method for brown rice but increase your cooking time a little.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Using a 2 quart casserole dish with lid, put rice, hot water, butter and salt in dish. Stir. (I put my casserole dish on a plate in the micro as sometimes the water boils over a little. Saves cleanup after).
  2. 2
    Cover, and microwave on high power 5 minutes. Stir with fork (careful watch the steam!)
  3. 3
    Cover and put back in microwave and cook on medium this time for 15 minutes.
  4. 4
    Remove lid (careful again!) and fluff with fork.
  5. 5
    Let stand 2-3 minutes.
  6. 6
    Serve.

This worked well, it's the same recipe that's on the bag of rice that I bought (except the bag says to use cold water, which I did, just cool water from the tap). It definitely did boil over, I'm not sure what would prevent that. We had a bit of trouble figuring out if the microwave was actually microwaving at medium power, but after consulting the manual, we got it figured out. I served this with Crock Pot Peanut Chicken, and it was delicious!
