Perfect Microwave Rice

Description: A different way to make Perfect Rice in the microwave. I didn't believe that it would cook till tender without being covered, boy was I wrong. From cookbook author Kathleen Daelemans.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups long grain rice
• 3 1/2 cups canned broth or 3 1/2 cups homemade stock
• 1 1/2 teaspoons butter or 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
• salt

Steps:

1. Place all ingredients except salt in a large microwave safe bowl.
2. Rice doubles in size during cooking so choose a container large enough to accommodate final product.
3. Microwave uncovered on high for 10 minutes.
4. Then microwave uncovered on medium-low for 15 minutes.
5. Do not stir rice at anytime during cooking process.
6. Season with salt and fluff with a fork before serving.
