Ingredients
  

  • 3 qt long grain white rice
  • 5 qt water
  • 3 T salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°
    Place the uncooked rice in a large roasting pan (lightly sprayed with cooking spray), spread evenly. Set aside.
  2. In a large stock-pot, combine water and salt. Bring to a rolling boil.
    CAREFULLY pour boiling water over rice and stir so rice is even along the bottom.
  3. Immediately cover tightly with aluminum foil. Make sure you have a tight seal around ALL the edges.
    Place roasting pan in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until rice is tender.
  4. Fluff with a large spoon & serve.
    Note: If you want to wait to serve, just keep in the oven at 150 degrees or so. Add a little water if necessary to keep from drying out.
