In microwave safe corning ware (l l/2 qt) or bowl with cover put l cup of rice and l & 3/4 cups water (salt optional).
Cook covered on high for 5 minutes, let sit in microwave for 15 minutes. Fluff with fork.
The easiest and fastest cleanup ever, and perfect rice every time.
After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual "food" out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps.

A banneton is a type of basket used to proof sourdough breads. Traditionally these baskets are made out of cane, but many modern proofing baskets are made out of silicone. Frequently a baneton will have a cloth liner to prevent dough from sticking to the sides of the basket. These baskets are used both to provide the loaf with shape and to wick moisture from the crust. Banneton baskets are also known as Brotform or proofing baskets
