- 5 qt water
- 3 T salt
Preheat oven to 350°Place the uncooked rice in a large roasting pan (lightly sprayed with cooking spray), spread evenly. Set aside. 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. 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. 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.
