by: Chef Mike Shannon
Ingredients
1 cup basmati rice, rinsed
1½ teaspoons butter or oil
14 ounces vegetable or chicken broth
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt, if desired Perfect Cooktop Rice
Instructions
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the rice in a wire-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Turn on ventilation.
Heat the Pan
Place a medium saucepan on the Wolf Induction Cooktop and select power level 8. Add the butter and swirl until melted.
Toast the Rice
Add the rice and stir to coat it in the butter for 30–45 seconds.
Cook the Rice
Carefully add the broth and stir well for about 1 minute. Cover and set a timer for 15 minutes. Once the broth comes to a boil, after about 1 minute, reduce to power level 3.
Finish
When the timer sounds, reduce to power level 1 and set a timer for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and stir or fluff the rice with a fork. Transfer to a serving dish or hold at power level 1 until ready to serve.
