Rice cooker: add rice, water, butter or margarine and salt, switch on and let the cooker finish. Saucepan: bring rice and water to the boil uncovered, let the water level drop below the rice, stir, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes.

Directions printed on the pack: The water ratio printed on the pack applies (add butter or margarine and salt to taste, as the pack suggests). Rice cooker: add rice, water, butter or margarine and salt, switch on and let the cooker finish. Saucepan: bring rice and water to the boil uncovered, let the water level drop below the rice, stir, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes.
