---

• Slather a shallow glass 2-qt. pan generously with butter.
• Traditional:
• Place rice, sugar and salt in the baking pan.
• Pour the milk in last.

• My short cut:
• Put rice in bottom of 4-cup measuring cup or other microwave-safe container.
• Fill to the 4-cup line with milk
• Nuke for approx. 5 minutes, stirring thoroughly half-way through.
• Keep an eye on it towards the end, so it doesn't bubble over.
• Stir and leave to sit while you butter the pan and put in salt and sugar.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees.
• Stir rice/milk mixture and nuke 1 minute.
• Pour into pan and put in the oven.
• Nuke the rest of the milk.
• Pour into pan and stir.
