Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked rice (white, jasmine, or basmati work best)

- Optional extras:
- 1 tsp olive oil or butter for richness
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese for creamy rice
- A squeeze of lemon juice for freshness
Instructions
- Rinse the Rice
- Rinse uncooked rice under cold water to remove excess starch.

- Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours or high for 1-1.5 hours. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
