Basically, put rice in an oven-proof vessel. Add twice as much boiling
water or other liquid (by volume), plus anything else you want (butter,
seasonings, etc). Cover the container tightly with foil, and put a
180C/350F oven. A smallish quantity of white rice will take under
25min. 1kg takes 30-35min. Check for doneness by making sure that all
(or very nearly all) the water has been absorbed. Let stand a few
minutes before serving.
A deep half-size hotel pan is perfect for 1kg. I do not recommend
cooking more than 2kg of rice in a single pan because (another tip!)
excessively heavy or overfilled pans lead to burns.
