Gypsy- If you are having rice issues, buy a rice cooker. They are fool-proof if you follow the instructions...

I have been married to a Chinese woman for 35 years so I have a little experience with rice. First of all, wash and rinse it twice to remove all the talc. Second, soak it in water for a couple of hours before cooking. Third, cover rice with water to the depth of the cuticle on your forefinger. Place the pan of rice and water on a high flame. Bring it to a rolling boil, stir the rice a couple of times to keep it from sticking and burning on the bottom of the pan. Turn heat to low, cover and set a timer for 22 minutes. When the timer goes off, turn off the heat, remove from burner. You should have some decent rice at this point.
