Types of rice: Long-grain rice cooks up fluffy with distinct grains. Varieties include Basmati and jasmine.

Water to rice ratio: 2 cups water to 1 cup rice

How to cook: Combine the water and rice in a pot with a lid. Bring the water to a boil on the stovetop, then reduce the heat to low. Once the water is simmering, cover the pot with its lid. Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, keeping the pot covered. (No peeking!) At the end of the cooking time, uncover the pot and taste a few grains for doneness. If the rice is done, remove it from the heat, then recover the pot and set it aside for about 10 minutes. The hot steam will help the rice dry out a bit and turn fluffy instead of sticky. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Short Grain Rice

The rice can easily be measured into a cup when it is uncooked, and results are very accurate. Depending on whether the rice is gently or firmly packed, the results will vary when measuring cooked rice. The type of rice you use will also affect the amount that fits into a cup. Basmati rice, for instance, doesn’t stick together nearly as much as white rice does. Even if the quantities aren’t exact, it won’t ruin a dish if they’re not right.

Brown Rice

Types of rice: Brown rice still has the bran on the rice grain, which gives it a nutty flavor and makes it more nutritious. Brown rice can be medium, long, or short grain.

Water to rice ratio: 1 ¾ cups water to 1 cup long-grain rice or 2 cups water to 1 cup short-grain rice

How to cook: Combine the water and rice in a pot with a lid. Bring the water to a boil on the stovetop, then reduce the heat to low. Once the water is simmering, cover the pot with its lid. Cook for 45 minutes, keeping the pot covered. (No peeking!) At the end of the cooking time, uncover the pot and taste a few grains for doneness. They should be slightly chewy but still tender. If the rice is done, remove it from the heat, drain any excess water, then recover the pot and set it aside for about 10 minutes. The hot steam will help the rice dry out a bit and turn fluffy instead of sticky.

If the rice isn’t quite done cooking, add a few more tablespoons of water, recover the pot, and continue cooking. Check every 5 minutes until the rice is done.
