3	Tip washed rice into rice-cooker.
4	Add 750 ml water and salt.
5	Switch on rice-cooker (the red "cooking" light should be on), and cover.
6	After 15 minutes you should hear a "click" and the "keep warn" light will come on.
7	Your rice is cooked.
8	Stir with a plastic spoon to prevent rice from sticking, and add a knob of butter if you wish.

Remarks

Rice-cooker are usually sold with a measuring jug. If you use it always remember the correct proportion is 1.5 parts water to 1 part rice.
For tastier rice you can use chicken stock instead of water, or add a little chicken or meat cooking juice, or add a chicken stock cube to the water.
