Boiling rice is harder than it looks. Often the finished product is sticky or "gluey."  Here's a sure-fire way to produce rice that's light and fluffy.

Difficulty Level: Easy        Time Required: 30 minutes

Here's How:

1. Rinse the rice in water to get rid of excess starch.

3. Bring the rice to boil, uncovered, at medium heat.
4. When boiling, turn the heat down to medium low. 
5. Place the lid on the pot, keeping it tilted to allow steam to escape.
6. When you can see holes in the rice, put the lid on tight.
7. Turn the heat to low.
