I so need help cooking perfect rice

First thing you do is throw away the directions. Use calrose medium or long grain rice. Put the rice in a sauce pan. the size of the saucspan should be such that the rice fills about one third of the pan. Wash the rice five times. I repete, five times. That gets rid of most of the talc. When you have done that put water in the pot so it's between one half and three quarters of an inch above the rice. I use the distance between the tip of my finger and the first knuckle. Bring it to a full boil, stiring one time only. As soon as it's boiling, cover the saucepan and turn off the heat. If you're using an electric range top, that means put it on a cold element. Twenty minutes later, perfect rice.

always follow this measure. for 1 cup rice u add 2 and 1/2 cup water .soak it for 1/2 hour before cooking . then u will get proper cooked rice in whatever mode u cook may be.

Using rice cooker is a good option for making perfect rice. I always use rice cooker.

i will help u, 1)if u are going to cook rice in acooker take 3 cups of water to 1 cup of rice ,u can switch off after getting 5 whisles. 2)if u are using rice cooker u can pour 4 cups for 1 cup rice & sak it well for 1/2 an hour and then keep cooking i will automatically switched off.

I too had a problem making rice in a saucepan on the stove. I bought a rice cooker/steamer, and I couldn't make rice without it now. It's so very simple, you can use any kind of rice you want (I even tried rice from the dollar store...lol) and it always comes out great! Not sticky, not hard, etc. It's a worthwhile investment, and you can get a decent one for about $20. Hope this helps!! :-)
