Put into microwaveable container with a lid, one cup of rice, two cups of cold water a pinch of salt. Cover the container and nuke for 10 minutes at 800/850w then either leave it standing in the microwave for 10 mins or nuke for a further 10 mins on very low (100w) for 8 mins and stand for 2 mins. fluff with a fork et voila.

With Basmati...always rinse several times in cold water. Then soak in enough water to cover for 30 minutes. Drain, pour in enough water to cover (OR 1 1/2 times the amount of rice by volume). Bring to the boil.... IMMEDIATELY reduce to as low as possible-and cover. Leave for 15 minutes...then fluff. It should be perfect.

Good luck.

Here's how I do it
1 cup Basmati rice - washed several times in cold water & then soak for about half an hour in cold water.
Bring double the amount of water to the boil i.e. 2 cups
I like to melt some butter in a pan, tip in the drained rice, give it a quick stir fry and then pour in the boiled water, add a little salt, gently stir, turn the heat to very low, cover with a lid & cook for about 10 mins
turn the heat off and leave for a further 5-10 mins.......perfect rice
