This recipe will become a frequent one in our house. It was very simple & quick, but added that "mom cooked for hours" feel. Even my picky 6 year old loved it.

This recipe was very easy to make, however, it was very bland. The saffron rice I have had in the past was very flavorful. I'll will have to keep looking for my saffron rice! Thank you for this recipe!

This is a wonderful recipe. The only changes I made were to use jasmine rice, 1/4 tsp saffron threads & add two chicken bouillon cubes dissolved in the hot water instead of adding the salt. Neither my husband nor I had ever tasted the amazing subtle flavor of real saffron before. Thanks for posting this recipe and for all the great comments by others.

I had been wanting to try Saffron Rice forever and found this recipe after I received a Bonus Saffron in a spice order. Good but not fantastic.

I skipped all the boiling water etc. I used my rice cooker and put the saffron in with chicken broth (instead of water), butter, salt, & Kasmati Basmati rice. I soaked it all for 20 minutes before turning on the rice cooker. It was wonderful! I paired it with Curried Honey Mustard Chicken and Parmesan Asparagus from this site. My kids (young adults) loved it.

It was okay; didn't get the saffron flavor that I love in restaurants.

You really need to use basmati rice to get that wonderful flavor. Try that!! I used your recipe as you have it written only I used the basmati and soaked saffron in hot water first and it tastes just like the restaurant. Oh! and I put it all in my rice cooker and it turned out great!

This turned out perfect! My whole family loved it. Basic and reliable! Made sure to keep things boiling as it said in the description, and the rice did turn out fluffy. Should have made twice as much! :)
