That^.
I still believe women are ultimately responsible for cooking for husbands/boyfriends and families although I can cook lots of south asian dishes myself like pakistani/indian.
Then I pity your gf / wife
As a man I love cooking stuff for myself. It's not the responsbility of either person to do something.
Butter in rice though? O.o
Wow, you are snotty.
I am well aware that a cup is a measurement. I cook, a lot, all food for my family and as a hobby - when I was a lot younger (as in almost 20 years ago) I also cooked for my living.

For long grain
1. Whack the rice into a pot.
2. Added water so its 2" above the rice, add bit of salt.
3. Boil till water level reached rice level.
4. Lower the gas and put lid on the pot.
5. If needed add half a cup more water.
6. Serve and eat.

Butter on rice?
Yup. Love it. What's wrong with that?
It's clearly optional and not mandatory. I eat lots of butter - love the stuff.

Found a great way to cook rice from my dad.
1. Soak the rice in a pan of water for 15 minutes
2. Empty the rice into a sieve and run under water until the water runs clear
3. Put a drop of oil into a pan and once the pan is warmed slightly throw the rice in and cook with no water for about 10-15 seconds. Always remembering to stir the rice
4. Fill the pan with water to just over the rice, add whatever flavourings, if any, you like to the rice, put the lid on the pan and let it cook till the water is almost gone.
Voila, rice that is not claggy and bloody tasty.

Rice cooking 101.
Basic simple rice. - Get this right the rest will follow
1 cup basmati rice
1 & just under a half cups water boiling water.
bit of salt
combine the above in a microwave safe dish cover well. (i use a plate)
Micro for 3 mins
Leave 5 mins ish.
Micro 3 mins.
leave 5 mins.
During the micro/wait part don't open the lid! You've accounted for the steam etc No need to stir till itsready to eat.
Eat
It can't over cook as i can't absorb water that isn't there.
P.S. never buy easy/quick cook rice.
Same works for cooking on the hob.
A rice cooker is doing the same job as the micro, keeping the water hot. I'm just saving you the trouble of buying one.

Wash 1 cup of rice (Put rice in sieve and run water from the tap over it) and put in a pan.
Add 2 cups cold of water to pan and bring to boil
Put on lid (must be tight fitting) and simmer for 8 mins
Take off heat and leave with lid on for 8-10 min
Do not remove the lid until the rice is ready or it won't come out right. If you use a heavy pan with a tight fitting lid it comes out best. If not - use a tea towel between the pan and the lid (make sure the tea towel is folded up so it doesn't get burned).
Pretty much the same idea as Jonny69s method really

Part cook the rice (good quality basmati) with a little oil and salt, drain. Then get a suitable dish and line with oil/butter and then potatoes or wraps and put the rice on top.
Heat on a hob at a low heat or in the oven.
Rice becomes light and fluffy, doesnt stick together, tastes great. Wraps/potatoes become crispy and stop the rice from sticking.
