Can you cook rice?

I never was able to make rice well from the package instructions but when I tried the directions from Cook's Illustrated I seem to be able to make it almost perfectly. 2 cups rice browned lightly in a Tablespoon of butter or oil, add 2 and 3/4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce burner to low and using a dish towel wrapped around the lid, seal tightly. Leave on low heat for 15 minutes and then remove from heat and leave alone for 15 minutes more. Seems to work pretty good for me.

Dinner Tonight: Chorizo, Egg and Raisin Tacos

This looks fantastic, I am going to try it this weekend. I have always been a spicy breakfast eater but the rest of my family is sweet and delicate, so I am always on the lookout for interesting breakfast dishes. I also checked out Elise Bauer's Simply Recipes and Nick's Paupered Chef blogs and talk about awesome sites! I won't get much work done today!

Can you cook rice?

I can cook rice with my eyes closed! RINSE, RINSE, RINSE, then RINSE some more!

Water, pinch of salt, rice. Bring to boil. Cover. 20 minutes on low. No peeking. EVER. I don't use a rice cooker. I typically cook about 8 cups (dry) in my ginormous pot for my annual Mardi Gras party.

Definately barbequed chicken, corn on the cob and a wonderful berry trifle or strawberry shortcake.
