Thank you for sharing this recipe and your hard-earned knowledge with us. I don't eat rice very often, but if, in the future, I should want to make a batch of rice, I will follow your instructions. I had not previously encountered the tip about leaving it with the lid on to finish cooking for 10 minutes at the end. Perhaps that extra touch is what my rice has been missing, and constitutes the reason for rice in general failing to make my shortlist of favourite recipes. 

I enjoyed reading your thought process as you created this post. It's something of a comfort to hear that even people who have been writing for a year and a half still feel unsure about their writing. I have been here for three months, which already seems like a long time, but still I dither and waver over my choice of words and the arrangement of my paragraphs. Presumably when we have both been writing for decades, we will be as acquainted with the formula for Steemit posts as we are with the rules for perfect recipes. 

I foresee only one problem: that the rules of technology and human interaction shift so frequently. Perhaps the recipe for a perfect Steemit post does not exist. Or else, if it exists, it is only for a mere instant, before something in the collective cultural perception shifts, and what was once perfect is no longer so. At that point, a new theoretical image of perfection has arisen, followed by another and another. 

Maybe we should just be grateful for the unchanging rules of physics, chemistry and biology that allow for the perfect rice recipe to exist at least long enough for you to write about them and for other people to appreciate them.
