   Beth,

   At 9700 feet water boils at about 192 degrees Fahrenheit (it boils at 212 at sea level) the main thing this means is that you need to cook it longer and use a bit more water. For a cup of rice, use 2 cups of water and plan to cook it about five minutes longer.

   I tried the high altitude rice; 1 cup to 2 cups H20 and cooked for 30 minutes, the rice was still sticky and was not with separate grains. Any more suggestions?
   I am at 7200 feet, cook on a gas range and would like to cook rice so it isn’t sticky!
