That is the key. My dad told me about when my grandfather (my mom's dad) got on to him for opening the lid on the rice. My dad is a good cook, but I guess in his younger days and still learning, he was trying to help out. He only bought Mahatma rice, and cooked it the same way forever. Boil, stir, cover, reduce, and don't even walk past the stove after that.

Poured rice in the boiling water, stired for a minute, put lid on it, turned burner on low.

It took you this long to learn how to cook rice?

Glad you made rice heypaul.

30 minutes seems like a long time. Good lookin gumbo.

Rinsing removes the vitamin enrichment added to US rice.

Yeah, I still only cook rice in a rice cooker. Phone call from my son about how to make rice ... my response, "Buy a rice cooker!"

He learned via a youtube vid.

My mother always boiled it like pasta and dumped in a colander. Rinse until clear first.

Same, minus the rinsing part.


I've always thought the colander method was the accepted method until recently. Boil it until the water is off, then steam in a colander while fluffing. Easy and perfect.

No more starchy sticky rice
