That's right for long grain rice, but Calrose doesn't take as much water. Though I didn't know about the fat in broth, preventing boil over. Also at which point of the boil to put the lid on & turn down the heat. Interesting.
Usually I just bring it to a boil, then put the lid on & shut it off. And I start my rice first thing.......so it's done by the time I get everything else cooked. And as long as I leave it alone on the stove, it's still warm if it takes longer to cook the other food.
I always make more rice than we need at one time..........either for another meal, or to feed the chickens and/or dogs.
I've tried to tell others that cooking regular rice is just as easy as Minute rice, it just takes longer.
