What’s the best way to cook rice

Sure! Here are six different ways to cook rice:

**Stovetop Method**: Just rinse your rice until the water runs clear, then use a 2:1 water-to-rice ratio. Bring it to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for about 18 minutes. Let it sit off the heat for a few minutes before fluffing it up!

**Rice Cooker**: If you’ve got one, just rinse the rice, add the right amount of water (usually the same 2:1 ratio), and hit the button. It’ll do all the work for you!

**Oven-Baked Rice**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Combine rinsed rice, water, and a bit of butter or oil in a baking dish, cover it tightly with foil, and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Easy peasy!

**Instant Pot**: Rinse the rice, then add it to the pot with water (again, 1:1 for white rice). Seal it up, cook on high pressure for about 4-6 minutes, and let it naturally release. Perfectly fluffy rice every time!

**Pilaf Method**: Sauté some onions and garlic in a pot, then add your rinsed rice and toast it for a couple of minutes. Add water (or broth for extra flavor), bring it to a boil, cover, and simmer until done. Tasty and aromatic!
