French Method for Perfect White Rice image

The difference between the American and French ways of cooking white rice? Rather than simmering rice in a modest amount of water, the French throw the rice in a big pot of salted water and cook on high heat. This crowd-pleasing side dish is done in a quick 12 minutes!

The rice was a bit bland for my taste. Maybe I should have added some salt or herbs.

I've tried several French methods for cooking white rice, and this one is by far the best. The rice grains are consistently fluffy and separate, and it has a wonderful aroma.
