It depends on the kind of rice.Some rice get softer really fast so U have to make sure u put a lil bit of water.Some is the total oppisite.

At first add small amount of water.When the water dried off,check it to see if its soft.If it still has seeds in it then U should add a lil more water!!

Your best bet is to buy a rice cooker
Re: Help Pease. . .,i Cant Prepare Boiled Rice by CrazyMan(m): 11:32am On Feb 21, 2009
My dear boiled rice is the easiest dish to prepare. All you need to do is to wash the rice and put it on the fire. Now here's the timing. If you're using an electric stove, then it should be ready in 30 minutes time. If you're using a gas cooker, then 35-40 minutes should do the magic. But if you're using a kerosene stove, then the quantity of kerosene and size of the stove ropes would determine how long it would take. I hope I made sense.
Re: Help Pease. . .,i Cant Prepare Boiled Rice by Ogaga4Luv(m): 3:40pm On Feb 23, 2009
I prepare with Gas Cooker
Re: Help Pease. . .,i Cant Prepare Boiled Rice by Moonstone(f): 10:20am On Feb 25, 2009
I think it's the water issue. The best thing to do is not too stir it all the time. Just not too much water and when it's drying up, put a lil' more so you can monitor how soft it gets.

I think ur problem is lack of concentration or may be u are always troubled xpecially when u ar in the kitchen or u ar too anxious to eat the rice cos is ur best food.
just concentrate when cooking and check the rice u are cooking to know the type very well. u can also ask the sller of the rice how to go about the cooking cos it may be a special rice 4 special pple like u
