It's just the basic cheap bag of rice.  The type that takes the long time to fix.  I found another way to deal with it.  A while ago I bought Tyson's Chicken Fried Rice Meal's In A Bag.  It's the kind that warms the pre-cook chicken first, then add the precooked rice and vegetables, then add sauce.  Got all the ingredients that I need, except for the sauce, don't need that.  Family didn't like the meal so I'm stuck with the extra meals that I bought.  Now I got a use that will work I hope, if not there goes some money.  Expensive way to learn.  When I get this thrown together, will see if the recipe will work with a slight change to it.  Everyone keep your fingers crossed.  Aurore

  define perfect rice...
  you mean uncle ben's with loose grains?
  depends on what you want.. and what kind of rice you are using..
  I am southern... rice is the staple carb for us...
  short is sweet, long is mm well rice... I prefer thai sweet
  shortgrain...

  2 cups water, one cup rice.. bring to boil toss in rice with some
  butter...

  Or.. uyou can do what my monster in law did... fill the pot with
  water..
  toss the rice in after it comes to a boil.. wathc it and then
  strain the water off
  via a hand strainer..

  OR oyu can get instant rice... one cup rice, one cup liquid, a
  tablespoon of butter
  10 minutes in the microwave.. perfect rice..

  : I'd start over.  Real hard to get something right with rice
  when it's been

  :
  : Depending on the rice, the proportion rice/water will vary, but
  usualy 1.5
  : to 2 water for 1 rice is about right.  Bring to a boil, reduce
  heat, cover,
  : let simmer until all water is evaporated.  Do not stir while it
  cooks.  use
  : a fork to move the rice around and "fluff" it, put cover back
  on, let it
  : sit for 5-10 minutes, so the steam keeps on cooking it.
  :
  : Even better if you have a rice cooker.

  : Good luck
