Everyone I know who has a rice cooker insists that it's better that way, but stovetop cooking is a useful skill for chapter weekend, etc.
It's easiest on an electric stove because the burner retains heat. Put 2 parts water and one part white rice in a pan. Bring to a boil. Shut the burner off, cover the pan, and leave the pan on the burner for 15 min before serving. (This takes about thirty minutes for brown rice, and I don't get perfect results. Try turning the heat down as far as you can, instead of off.)
