      This is mainly for me!  I always looses the instructions and measurments after I empty the rice into the canister.  While 20 min. is always easy, the measurements (which are so important for fluff rice) are something I never seem to remember.

 
      Stove Top Directions:

      1. Bring water to a boil.  Add butter or margarine and salt to the water.  (I usually add the butter and salt to the water and then bring it to a boil ;-)

      2. Stir in rice.  REDUCE HEAT, cover and simmer for 20 min.

      3. REMOVE FROM HEAT.  Let stand covered 5 min. or until water is absorbed.  Fluff with fork.
