Perfect rice every time
- READ the bag of RICE for directions!
- YES!!
- There are several types of rice, and all
- require different cooking times and water.
- I prefer a Calrose Rice which takes 1 1/4 cup water to every cup of rice.
- And calls for 25 minutes of cooking.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to every cup of rice you use.
- Bring water, salt, and rice to a boil.
- Stir.
- Cover tightly and reduce heat to the lowest setting.
- Set timer for 22 minutes
- Turn off heat, but don't touch!
- Set timer for 5 - 10 minutes more.
- Then uncover and stir to fluff.
Tips:
- Use a tightly covered pot that has at least three times the air space
- of the amount of water and rice you put in.
- Rice needs space to expand and steam.
- Don't waste money on a rice cooker!
- And don't waste water rinsing rice.....
