Long-Grain Rice

Directions

1. 1
   Put the rice in your small, heavy pot, and pour the cup of water over.
2. 2
   Add the salt and bring to a boil.
3. 3
   As soon as it boils vigorously, turn the heat way down, so that the rice is simmering very gently.
4. 4
   Put the lid on; if you find that its not really tight-fitting, cover the top first with foil, tucking it around the edges, and then put the lid on.
5. 5
   Cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
6. 6
   Remove the pot from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff up the rice with a fork.
