Microwave Rice

In a 2 qt. microwave safe dish combine 2 cups water and 1 cup rice.  Cover and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes.  Reduce setting to 50% power, microwave for 15 minutes.  Let stand for 5 minutes.

These directions are found on the back of Mahatma-brand rice and I am forever throwing the bag away only to find I have purchased some other brand because it is a better deal on that day and then I'm sad when I have to cook it on the stove top.  :)
