You will only need water and rice to make your rice in a pot but using additional ingredients adds a bit of extra flavor and texture.
How to cook rice in the pot. In a medium saucepan over medium heat bring water to a boil. Add rice butter and a large pinch of salt. If desired add about a pinch of salt per cup of rice.
Bring to a boil then cover pot with a tight fitting lid and reduce heat to low aiming for the lowest possible flame. Add the salt and butter and allow the butter to melt. Boil the water in a medium saucepan.

Choose your additional ingredients. Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a covered 4 quart saucepan over high heat. Bring pan back to a simmer then lower heat and cook covered 18 minutes or until rice is.
When the water has returned to a boil stir in the rice. The switch will click like a toaster when the rice is done. Use oil or butter to soften the rice and add flavor.
Stir in the rice and boil uncovered until tender but still slightly chewy 33 to 35 minutes. Let the water return to a light simmer.
