In a medium saucepan, measure 1/2 cup rice for each serving. Add 1 tsp. oil, olive oil or butter for each serving. Heat and stir the rice and oil over medium-high heat until the grains turn milky white. Add 1/4 tsp. table salt and 1 cup water (or chicken broth or tomato juice) per serving. Bring to a full rolling boil and turn heat to the lowest setting. As soon as the level of liquid disappears below the level of the rice, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the rice sit for 10 or 15 minutes--DO NOT LIFT THE LID--fluff with a fork and serve.
(4 servings = 2 cups rice, 4 tsp. oil, 1-2 tsp. salt, 4 cups liquid)
Burned popcorn and rice are the two hardest substances to remove from the bottom of a pan. Here's an earlier discussion about cleaning burned popcorn and Le Creuset:
