I put one part rice and two parts cold water, plus some salt. Cover and heat, when you can hear it boiling turn down the heat and carry on cooking for about 12 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave to stand for about 5 minutes. Do not lift the lid until after the standing time.
Test the rice, if it is not quite cooked through add a little boiling water, cover and heat gently again to create more steam, then allow to stand again.
A little butter or oil stirred through makes it perfect.
Good luck.
