Making rice is tricky-- here is how to make nice, tasty perfect rice:

• Consider a 1/8 or 1/4 stick of butter or a dash of oil to avoid stickiness (Some people rinse the rice to remove excess starch)
• Replace some or all of the water with chicken, turkey, or beef broth
• Add a dash of salt or soy sauce or drop of lemon juice if you like
• Follow the directions on the package to the letter-- Usually a 2-to-1 water to rice ratio
• Be sure to bring the water or liquid to a boil, add rice and reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes
• Stir only occasionally, avoiding excessive cover removal
• Serve it up!

Rice is one of the staples of self reliant people-- it also stores well, for you emergency preparers.
