re: Another Chuck Roast Dinner Recipe (Photos)

Cooking rice in microwave - Very easy and works every time.

Portion the rice per package instructions. The photos I showed used 1/3 cup rice, which might make 2 servings.

Add 2X water, a Tablespoon of unsalted butter and a half teaspoon of salt.

Cook (covered) at full microwave power until the water begins to boil. For this amount of rice and water in my microwave, was a little over 2 minutes. Might take more or less in your microwave. Watch carefully because right after the water begins to boil, it will boil over and you will lose water and be forced to deal with a pool of starchy water in your microwave.

As soon as you see water boiling, reduce the power to 20% and cook for 15 minutes. You can walk away and come back when the timer cycles off. Take top off and fluff with a fork. Works every time.

More rice = more water = longer before the water boils. However, once the water boils, the 20% power for 15 minutes does not change.
