  4. Cook on high for 5 minutes.
  5. Cook on medium for 7 minutes.

Notes

The easiest way to cook rice without having to watch the pot. It always comes out perfect and fluffy. Depending on your microwave you may need to vary the times a little but once you have it worked out your rice will come out every time.

  • Whenever I cook rice in a saucepan on the stove, it ends up boiling over at some stage. And the rice always comes out gluggy. Looking forward to trying this method.
