3. In a large stock-pot, combine water and salt. Bring to a rolling boil.
4. CAREFULLY pour boiling water over rice and stir so rice is even along the bottom.
5. Immediately cover tightly with aluminum foil. Make sure you have a tight seal around ALL the edges. 
6. Place roasting pan in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until rice is tender.
7. Fluff with a large wooden spoon anklet sit for 10ish minutes to dry out any remaining moisture.
