that looks like one of my many afternoon snacks

If boiling rice has become such an enormous asspain for you, OP, here's a good baked rice recipe. All you need is a tea kettle, a baking dish and 35 minutes.

It doesn't stick, burn or boil over.

Oven-Baked Rice

2 cups white rice
3 1/2 cups boiling fish or chicken stock, or water
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
2 teaspoons sea salt

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Spread rice in an oven safe container; an 8 inch square glass baking dish, an oven safe stockpot, or dutch oven all work.
3. Stir in boiling stock or water, oil, and salt. Cover baking dish tightly with foil or lid if using a pot.
4. Bake until rice is tender, about one hour for brown rice, about 35 minutes for white rice.
5. Remove rice from oven, fluff lightly with a fork. If not serving right away, cover the dish with a clean kitchen towel.

Note: If you soak your rice before cooking, measure the amount of water you are soaking the rice with. Soak. Before baking, strain the soaking water into a measuring cup to calculate how much water was absorbed by the rice. Subtract this amount from the liquid amount called for in the recipe. You will only need to do this once if your soaking times are consistent.
