I can't get it to turn out right to save my life. I just ruined another pot full.

    I mess up my rice in the rice cooker.  You're not alone.

    I have a rice cooker and it turns out pretty good in there, better than I would probably do on the stove.

    I also suck at it.  It always sticks to the bottom of the pot.  I have thought about getting one of these... I have heard they are great.  Though I could probably still screw it up.

    I can't cook rice either.  I can only cook the minute rice.  Everything else I suck at!

    The Pampered Chef rice cooker??  LOVE IT!!!  They really are amazing - the best $20 ever spent.  I got mine almost 3 years ago and it's still working great.  Best rice ever, and we've never burned it, not once - and I suck at cooking soup!

    This is probably way too late, but I have a pretty foolproof method of cooking rice.

    You need a pretty large sauce pan with a heavy lid.  I have a heavy cast iron one that I use. Make sure there's not a steam release on the lid--or at least make sure it's closed completely.  The water to rice ratio is 2:1.  1 cup of rice needs 2 cups of water.  Rinse the rice and put it in the pot with the water.

    Put it on the stove without the lid on medium-high until it JUST comes to a really low boil.  Put the lid on and reduce the heat to medium.  Set your kitchen timer for 15 minutes.  After the 15 minutes is up, turn off the burner and move the pot off of the hot burner.  Set the timer for 15 minutes again.  Don't touch the lid.  If you take the lid off after you put it on and before the full 30 minutes is up you'll ruin the rice.  Once the timer goes off again you've got perfectly cooked rice that isn't stuck to the bottom of the pan.

    If you're using brown rice, the ratio is 3:1 and up the times to 20 minutes.
