What is 20 minutes or 45 minutes anyway? Saving money

I am talking about rice here regradless if it is brown rice or white rice only difference between the two is that brown rice has their hulls still on them but unlike white rice brown rice has an almondly flavor to it.

Also, I am not talking about instant rice here, in fact a person can save a lot of money just cooking regular rice. 

The ration of  rice is 2:1 in other words 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice.

The way I "cook"  mine is  below:

Pour 2 cups of water in a saucepan once it starts to boil turn your stove down to simmer and add 1 cup of rice stir and cover it with the saucepan's lid. 

Remember it is the steam that "cooks " the rice, 
20 minutes for white rice
45 minutes for brown rice
then it's ready ,unless you want fluffer rice in which case keep the saucepan covered for an extra 10 minutes but away from the heat.

Your rice is ready to have stuff added to it, like stew tomatoes with red and green peppers, garlic, cooked chilli beans and cooked hamburger or ground chuck meat. My version of Spainish rice or is it Spainish-Chilly rice?  In either case Yummy!

Or maybe add fat free/sugar free vanilla pudding for rice pudding or add chush pineapple for pineapple-rice puddling.Basically throw in what ever you want. :)

By the way did you know that rice is a member of the grass family (grains) others are corn,barley, wheat, oats. In other words we're eating grass for breakfast but we also drink beans--lol :)
