Have you tried boil-in-bags?  That's how we do rice if we are not cooking it
in the oven.  Pre-cooked rice in vacumm sealed bags (we double or even
triple bage,
these are not the real thick bags, but the thinner ones).  Big pot of
boiling water,
drop in bags of rice to warm.  Rice does not dry out, had not collected
flavours
while sitting; which may be why some people don't like re-heated rice.
