As for the fluffyness, they might clean the rice before they cook it to remove starch which means the rice doesn't all gloop together
do you soak it before cooking?I cook a lot of brown rice too, and it actually makes it not taste like sawdust and gravel.
there are too many considerations, this is stressing me out
do you soak it before cooking?
yes, I rince before and after usually. sometimes i'll even steam it for a couple of mins before throwing it in. main thing that appeals to me about the rice cooker, really, is that I'm always off in measurements and time when I cook on the hob, so this sort of just does everything right for you.
My failsafe rice recipe works every time. I don't rinse it beforehand.For the hob, I soak my rice (basmati) for 30 minutes and drain it. Then add double the volume of the rice (I don't weigh it, 250 ml of rice + 500 ml water is four portions) and bring to the boil. As soon as it reaches the boil, lower the heat as much as possible and put the lid on the pot*. After 8 min take off the heat and give it a couple of minutes before serving (breaking it up wih a fork). This method works no matter what quantity of rice you do but maybe only leave it on a low heat for 6 min if you have a small portion of rice.
*on an electric oven I'd move it to a different ring as they take too long to cool down. If you left it on the one you brought it to a boil on, it will overcook. I'd also start saving up for a gas hob as electric hobs are shit.
Is there anything worse for cooking than an electric hob?
I posit that there is not.
