Most don't think about cooking rice in the oven, but it's so easy and rice turns out perfect every time. You will need a pan with a tight fitting lid, or heavy duty aluminum foil. The ratio of water to rice is 5:3 ( 5 cups water to 3 cups of rice, etc.) Bring water to a boil on stove top, adding salt and or butter. Place rice in pan and pour boiling water over it, mixing well. Cover pan, and place in a 375 degree oven for about 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and fluff. This how restaurants cook rice.
