Reply to comment by FoxcMama in LPT: boil rice until it’s almost fully cooked, drain, then return to pan, cover and steam on low heat for 10 mins. Tastes much better than boiling, draining and serving. by circumlocutious

Op doesn't know shit about making rice.. Ricecooker is the way to go.

Basmati cooks best when done like pasta. Jasmine and the like are best done the rice cooker way

I use a double lid Donabe stoneware rice cooker. It's amazing, makes perfect rice, and is easy to clean. There's also lines inside to gauge your rice to water ratio, so no measuring.

Nah, they're right. The other poster acting like there is only one way to cook rice, and that any other way is wrong and the "white" way. It's pretty ignorant, really. There are many different cultures and many different ways of cooking rice. The way described by OP is how some cultures cook some types of rice. It reeks of ignorance.

Bro, you do 2 parts water, 1 part rice, then you turn on the heat till it cooks, then you turn it down to a low simmer. Keep the lid on and dont touch it till all the water is gone. Stir it when done let it breath for a monent. Perfect rice. No draining no nonsense

circumlocutious OP t1_j1w4avy wrote

Like I said, if you presoak your rice then 2:1 is too much.

Also you can’t make a biryani that way, for instance, Sometimes you definitely need to drain parcooked rice for a recipe.

Who eats parboiled rice? Disgusting. We dont presoak, we wash and use our finger knuckle for water measurement.

circumlocutious OP t1_j1wem96 wrote

You parboil it THEN continue steaming it with cooked meat etc in spices. It’s called a biryani… sigh

People who don’t need extra arsenic in their diet should generally choose parboiled or boil and drain their rice and finish cooking
