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.
Store white rice in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. At temperatures of 70 F or below, rice can be stored for 10 years or more. Brown rice can be stored for about six months in a cool dry place, but if you place it in the freezer it will keep for about one year.
