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.

We used to be able to make perfect rice when we lived at 260'. Now, at 4200', it's under-cooked. Water boils at 203° here. Would a rice cooker solve that problem? Is it like a pressure cooker? We're still working on adjusting the time, but it's been hit and miss so far. We have a pressure cooker, but I've not tried that method yet.
