Rice timer: simmer, then rest

Rice on the stove has two steps: simmer with the lid on, then take it off the heat and let it rest with the lid still on. Kitchen Timer reminds you at both.

How to cook rice on the stove

1. Rinse the rice in a sieve until the water runs mostly clear.
2. Put it in a pan with the amount of water on the package and a pinch of salt.
3. Bring to the boil, turn the heat to the lowest setting, cover, and start the timer.
4. When Kitchen Timer buzzes, turn the heat off. Keep the lid on.
5. When it rings again, fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Don't lift the lid while it simmers. The steam is what cooks the rice.
