Boiled Rice.

Steps

1. Wash the rice by putting it in cold water and rubbing it hard between the hands. Do this three times. Drain off all the water, and put the rice in a large stewpan with the boiling water. Place it where it will boil all the time with the stewpan uncovered. When it has been cooking for fifteen minutes add the salt; but do not stir it, for rice is spoiled if stirred during the cooking. When it has boiled for twenty-five minutes, turn it into a colander and drain off all the water. Place the colander on a plate, and set it on the hearth or the back part of the range. Cover the rice with a coarse towel. In this way it can be kept hot and dry for a long time.
