Easy microwave rice

This is my basic rice recipe. It works for any amount of rice - and doesn't leave the rice sticky.
Place
    1 T butter
in a 1 to 1 1/2-qt casserole. Microwave on high for 1 min. Add
    1 c uncooked rice.
Stir to coat rice. Microwave on high for about 1 min. Add
    water
to cover completely by about 1/2 inch. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Let sit for 15 minutes for the rice to absorb the liquid.
