Microwave Rice

Rice is a fairly cheap staple, and what it doesn't go with, it goes under.  The easiest way to make rice is in the microwave, but you will need a microwave rice cooker.

Materials:

Microwave
Microwave rice cooker
Measuring Spoons
Measuring Cups
Running Water

Ingredients:

1 cup white rice
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt

Method:

Wash hands with soap.  Put water, salt and rice into microwave rice cooker.  (NOTE: If using long grain specialty rice, such as Jasmine Rice or Basmati Rice, increase water by 1/4 cup and rinse the rice off before adding it to the cooker.) Cook on high for 11 minutes.  Let sit for an additional ten minutes.  Open the cooker and serve.  Refrigerate the leftovers with any meat leftover from the meal.

Note: every rice cooker I have owned has spilled over in the microwave.  You may need to clean the microwave tray afterwards.  One way to avoid this is to cook for six minutes, wait thirty seconds, then cook for another five minutes.
