Boil, rice in, lid on, low heat for 18 minutes, off for 8 minutes, lid off, fluff with fork. No watching. If you burn some, lower your “low”. If you’re getting crazy and making some basmati or rosematta you just look up how much time your new strain of rice needs. If you have an always-too-hot electric stove I’m sorry I lied; I’ve been there, and I would probably buy a rice cooker too.

Yeah it never works out that way for me for whatever reason although we do currently have electric this was with gas too. Rice cooker is load it and turn on. 30 minutes later hot meal. Always, every time, no further intevention and if you forget it and don't come back for 45mins its in stay warm mode and is fine.
