Boil - Typically cook on stovetop, steamer or oven. Most methods of rice cookery require a measured amount of liquid to ensure a properly cooked product. The general rule is 2 parts liquid to 1 part rice by volume.

Considering the 2:1 ratio, dry rice will triple in volume when cooked. When working with rice it is usually easier to measure the ingredients and calculate portions by volume. For costing purposes and writing recipes, it is helpful to know the correlation between volume and weight measures for rice: ; 1 cup dry rice = approx. 7 oz. (wt.) ; 1# dry rice = approx. 2 1/4 c. (vol.) ; 1 cup cooked rice = approx. 8 oz. (wt.) ; 1# cooked rice = approx. 1 pt.

,As with many dry goods, uncooked rice should be stored in a dry and cool environment. Rice will absorb strong aromas, so it is very important to store rice far away from foods such as onions or garlic. Keeping rice in securely sealed container keeps out unwanted moisture and eliminates the risk of infestation.
