Pre rice cooker days I'd make rice in the microwave almost every night.

I would just nuke on high for 18 minutes (new nuker) or 22 minutes (old
nuker) in the 8 cup pyrex measuring cup, using no cover of any sort. But
I used a coffee mug of rice (best guess 10 fluid oz of rice) and 2 coffee
cugs of water with a scant tbsp of chicken stock granules. I used Uncle
Ben's converted long grain rice (par boiled is the generic name). It also
works well with basmati rice (tastier than the converted rice).

Being low carb now...I miss or crave rice a great deal.
