Yummy Rice
I always used to have an issue with cooking rice, I would follow the packet or try the method some people use of chucking a load of rice in a pan with a torrent of unmeasured water, heating it up and hoping for the best.
My hope was nothing but dashed by the piss poor rice that resulted. Throwing it in the bin would be an insult to the bin, I was inclined to bury it in a very deep grave.
