Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in rice and salt and return to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, 16 to 18 minutes (check only toward the end of cooking time). The rice should be studded with craters, or steam holes, when it is ready. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
I always wash and soak my rice. I mainly use short grain rice (Egyptian rice). I soak it in boiled water from 15 minutes to an hour or so and I believe soaking it is part of the cooking processes. My rice is always fluffy and delicious.
