How to Cook Rice, Perfectly

Fluffy, separate grains every time — no rice cooker required. The ratios and the resting step make all the difference.

Key steps

1
Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear — this removes excess starch.
2
Use the 1:1.5 ratio for long-grain white rice: one cup rice to one and a half cups water.
3
Bring to a boil, cover, and drop to the lowest simmer for 15 minutes.
4
Rest off the heat, covered, for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
