The trick to making perfect rice is to prevent the water under the pot’s lid from dripping onto the cooked grains, which causes them to stick together. Try this: As soon as the water has boiled off, take the pot off the burner, then place a clean dishcloth over the top. Cover with a snug lid. The cloth will absorb any condensation drops before they land on the cooked rice, and you’ll have perfect, fluffy rice.
