How do you cook plain rice? (2 Viewers)

[Nina]

Just regular rice. Nothing fancy.
What type do you use, what method, salt or no salt?

My home, we boiled basmati in salted water and drained or steamed jasmine in a pressure cooker.​

ive been telling my mom we need a rice cooker but we just use a pot to boil it

It’s a good technique to knoe if you’re ever out in the wilderness and all you have is fire. Plus the bottom can get nice and crispy.

Everybody gets a rice cooker for valentines on San's wallet

1 cup water (or 1 1/2 cups) to 1 cup of rice with a little bit salt and into the rice cooker because I am more confident with that than a stove

Can I skip the rice cooker. Just give me him

The bottom part of the rice is the best part when it comes to cooking rice

ooh the basics

take some cups of rice
Wash it once
drain it
fill with fresh water (drinkable) up to 1 inch above the rice
put on stove
mix it once the water has reduced to just a few bubbls
put a lid on
and dont forget to turn off the stove at the right moment cuz for me its always 50/50 chance, its either burnt or wettish at the bottom

Stove is #1 I dont trust electric stoves

We are lazy, we buy minute rice and cook it in a pot with equal parts rice and water. Or we get those microwave ones.
