Perfectly Cooked Rice

A lot of people have trouble cooking
rice so that it's light and fluffy.
Here is a recipe for doing just that.

Ingredients:
2 cups water
1 cup rice
1/4 teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste

Directions:
Rinse rice in a strainer under
cold water for 30 seconds.
Bring 3 quarts cold water to a boil
in a large pot with a tight
fitting lid over high heat.
Add the rice, stir it once,
and boil, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Pour rice into a strainer over the sink.
Let the rice drain for 10 seconds,
then return it to the pot, off the heat.
Cover the pot and set it aside to
allow the rice to steam for 10 minutes.
Uncover the rice, fluff with a fork,
and season with salt and pepper.
