Boiled Rice

I used to hate making rice, until I realized that the world won't end if I ignore conventional wisdom. It's ok to remove the lid to stir during cooking and to add more water, and it doesn't even matter if there's liquid left at the end. As when cooking pasta, you can just drain whatever's left when the rice is ready.
