I love white rice! But it can be tricky to prepare. If you've never made it before or have tried to make it and it just doesn't come out right, try this! Note: For best results, cook rice in a caldero pot. But if you don't have one, use whatever you have.

3

cups long grain rice (I like Carolina brand)
4

cups cold water
1 ¹⁄₂

teaspoons salt
3

tablespoons canola oil

DIRECTIONS

Heat caldero pot or any other lg. pot on medium heat.
In the meantime wash rice several times with cold water and drain well.
Add canola oil, rice and salt to pot. Cook for 1 minute stirring once.
Add water, bring to boil stirring occasionally.
When the rice has absorbed almost all of the water (should take about 10 minutes), give it a final stir and pile the rice in a mountain in the center of the pot to avoid the rice from sticking to the sides.
Reduce heat to low, cover with aluminum foil and lid. DO NOT TOUCH for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, stir the rice bringing the bottom rice to the top. Cover again and cook for 10 minutes.
