you forgot the oil
it keeps the rice from sticking together

Meh, that’s about right. Was your rice undercooked or overcooked?

What type of rice were you making? Some are thirstier kernels than others.

for me, its 1:2

it was basically raw and stuck to the whole pan
basmati literally like the video

why do people treat cooking and recipes like they're programmer code

I was like that before because I felt the ingredients go to waste if I fail.
Then I realised the result doesn't really matter as long as it tastes good because I'm the only one eating it anyway.

Because it makes changes in quantities easy to track.

that's a right proportion in my experience

This, and also use chicken stock (unless you want plain white rice)

Yep, same.

Why do euros refuse to buy a rice cooker?

I do two cups water per one cup rice with like a tbsp of butter. Cook it for about 23 minutes on medium high.

I'm not European but I genuinely don't need one. I make perfect rice each time with a pot. Seems like an unnecessary purchase. I don't even think I have any storage space in my kitchen for a rice cooker anyway.

Here in the US South we don’t fuck around with any faggot measurements, we just put in a pinch of this and a pinch of that

>wash rice 3 times till somewhat clear
>add water till slightly above rice
>cover with tinfoil so steam doesnt escape
>20 min cooking
>10 min resting
perfect every time
dont even have to measure the water
just eyeball it

I don't even bother washing rice anymore. I don't notice a fucking bit of difference in the result.

Lol yeah he's completely wrong. I tried it with 1 part rice to 1.5 part water and all the water absorbed before the rice was soft, even on the lowest possible heat in the smallest ring with the lid on. You need 2 parts water

I think I do
also chinks are masters of rice and they all do it

But if you have a small diameter pot, just putting in enough to just cover the rice doesn't work. You'd not have enough water. Just do 2 parts to 1 part

Yeah, they do but I'll ultimately only do something if I've found a tangible benefit to it and in my case haven't seen it.

rice cooker and an air fryer is all you really need to be happy in life
