We make our rice in a Tupperware rice maker most of the time. This should work as well in any other microwave bowl with lid.
For Basmati or white converted rice:
Rinse first in cold water.
Cook 5 minutes at power level high, then stir (optional).
Cook 15 minutes at power level 4.
Let stand 5 minutes, then fluff and serve.
For brown rice:
Cook an additional 5 minutes at power level 4, or more if needed.
For Minute Rice:
Use 1 1/2 cups rice, 1 3/4 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cook 5 minutes power level high.
Cook 3 minutes power level 4.
Cook 5 minutes standing, then fluff and serve.
Never leave the Tupperware rice maker in the microwave for more than 10 minutes on high power.
Do not add fats such as butter, oils, or liquids that contain fats such as milk or broth. Use only water. Seasonings and liquids can be stirred in after cooking.
