My experiences are much the same as John's (although I don't work in metric yet). However, I boil my water first, then add the rice (no salt!), reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes. Also, I stir with a fork (NOT a spoon) after adding the rice to distribute evenly. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
