Perfect Rice Every Time

If you want perfect rice or rice box mix every time, don't cook it on the stove, cook it in the oven.

Heat the oven to 375 deg.

Start the rice as normal in a sauce pan, bring it to a boil following the directions on the box or packet.

Instead of simmering for 25 minutes (typically), put a lid on the pan and put it in the oven for 25 minutes.  The rice can also be put into a casserole or covered baking dish if you are making a lot.  I recently used a big baking dish covered with aluminum foil.  It worked great.
