NOTE:

• If you are saving this rice for other meals, pour it into a large bowl or on a baking pan so it is spread out and let it cool off at room temperature for 20-30 minutes then put in frig UNCOVERED until it is cold.  Once it is cold you can put it into a smaller container or baggie to store

• To speed it up, heat the water in microwave before adding,  This can cut 5-10 minutes off the cooking time

• Never put hot food in a baggie or container with a closed lid.  Always cool off first to slow bacteria growth
