No Fail Foolproof Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups rice (I use Basmati)
3 cups water

Preparation

Combine rice and water in a medium to large saucepan with a secure fitting lid (vents closed).
Bring to the boil (you will see bubbles forming around the lid - do NOT open the lid) and turn off the heat.
Leave to stand for about 20-25 minutes. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT open the lid at any time until after the 25 minutes is up.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve immediately.
