Basmati is yummy. Arborio is yummy, you just use them for different  
things.

I like to dry toast rice in a big heavy skillet before cooking it in  
water.

If I'm not making risotto, I just cook it like pasta, put it in a big  
pot of boiling water, cook 'till al dente, drain. Takes the  
aggravation out of having to watch it too closely at the end.
