Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. Water
  2. one teaspoonful salt
  3. one cup of rice thoroughly

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Wash one cup of rice thoroughly, use a deep vessel;
  2. to four cups of rapidly boiling water add one teaspoonful salt.
  3. Then add rice so slowly that water continues to boil.
  4. Shake vessel so that no kernels stick to bottom but never stir the rice.
  5. Boil twenty minutes.
  6. Then pour off water if any and place in open oven where it will finish swelling without burning.
  7. Each grain will stand alone plump and tender.
