One of my most-used cooking pots is a 2-quart glass Pyrex mixing
pitcher. I made rice last night. For the two of us, I put 1-1/2 cups
water in the 2-quart pitcher, added 3/4 cup rinsed medium-grain rice,
about 1/2 tsp of salt, and maybe a tablespoon of vegetable oil (to keep
the foaming down). Covered it with plastic wrap (vented so steam could
escape and nuked it for 10 minutes at full power, then about 10 -12
minutes at 20% power. Pretty good. No, darn good. No stirring, no
nada. FWIW.
