I couldn't take a photo of the water as I didn't have enough hands! Add 2 cups of boiling water. Put on the hob. It will boil almost straight away. Turn down the heat to a simmer and put on the lid.

Keep checking every now and then, when all the water is absorbed its cooked! It should take around 10 minutes, but it could be slightly more or less depending on your cooker. Fluff it up with a fork!

Notes: For other quantities use one part rice and two parts water. This works for any amount. Always stir with a fork and when all the water is absorbed its done. Simple! :-)

Maxine there is a different method for sushi rice so no this wouldn't work. The hob is the bit of the cooker in the photo the gas or electric rings on top. I don't know another name for it sorry.
