Cooking Rice
There are differing opinions about whether rice should be washed before
cooking. Those in favour argue that this washes away the starch content and
ensures non-sticky grains. Those against feel valuable soluble vitamins and
minerals are lost. Drier, fluffier rice is obtained by pre-washing rice. To pre-wash
rice, rinse uncooked rice in Rice Bowl with cold water and drain thoroughly.
If uncooked rice is moist from pre-washing reduce water by approximately
1 tablespoon for every cup of uncooked rice.
White Rice

rice and water depends on the kind of rice you are using. See package
directions for correct proportions) NEVER PUT ANY LIQUID INTO
