Rice

To boil rice: Wash the rice until the water is clear; then add to two cups of rice, four of boiling water, boil it ten minutes, adding a little salt; then boil five minutes more, and if all the water has not boiled away remove the cover and place the dish by the side of the fire, where the rice can dry; as soon as all the water disappears the rice should be dished. Rice should never be stirred while boiling, as stirring will cause it to stick or adhere to the dish.
