Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups water
Preparation
- Add rice and water to an Anyday Large Deep Dish.
- Cook in the microwave uncovered at full power for 13 minutes, or until the water is mostly absorbed by the rice. The edges of the dish will start to dry, though the rice will still look very wet. If you still see a layer of water on top, continue microwaving in 1-minute increments until the water is mostly absorbed.
- Cover with the lid (knob lifted) and continue cooking at full power for another 3-4 minutes. Gently move the rice with a fork — it should feel loose and tender.
- Rest for 5 minutes with the lid on to allow rice to gently finish steaming. Fluff rice before serving.
Serving suggestions & tips
- Always use an Anyday Large Deep Dish to cook rice with this method. Do not cook more than 1 cup of rice.
Recipe notes
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
