So how do you all cook your rice?

I rinse the rice

Bring to boil for 10 mins

Turn off and put lid on to steam for 15 mins

Drain then add to frying pan with garlic and onion that's already been frying in spices

Rinse the rice

Add the appropriate amount of water and bring to the boil

Realise the water is gone and the rice isn’t cooked

Add more water

Rice is all mushy and stuck to the bottom of the pan

Bin the rice

Uncle Ben’s to the rescue…

I bought a 15 quid rice cooker from Asda 3 months ago on a whim.

Can't belive I didn't buy one years ago.

Keep making extra rice so I can make egg fried rice the next day now....

Great...now im hungry.

Get a rice cooker, it's easier and cooks it perfectly every time.

Add in rice by the cup. Add in a load of water, swirl it around aggressively then drain the water out by covering the bottom with your hand. Then put in twice as much cups of water than rice. Turn the cooker on and leave it until it says it's done!

Drain the water?! I’ve never heard of this.

I use the same amount of rice and water. If I’m honest, I don’t measure as I do it all by eye.

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear.

Bring water to boil with oil, and salt. Add the rice. Once it starts boiling, I bring the flame down to the lowest and cover it. I let it cook until the water has been complete absorbed. Maybe 10-15 minutes. Do not open, or stir at all until it’s fully cooked.

It’s not mushy. It’s not burned. It’s not watery. It’s perfectly steamed, and fluffy.

I also only use medium grain rice.

Soak rice for a bit then rinse in a sieve. Boil water, add rice, cook for 5 mins, tip rice back in sieve saving the water to put back in the saucepan, cover rice with tinfoil, bring water back to boil, lower heat and cook rice over steam for 8 mins.

Also known as the Jamie Oliver method, perfect every time

When I used to cook rice from scratch it was one cup of rice, two cups of water. Bring to the boil, turn down to simmer, lid on until water absorbed. Took around ten to fifteen minutes

I can’t give detailed instructions because I know how to do it by eye and I don’t do timers I just know when it’s ready.

But you need to wash your rice first. Then you need to add it to a pan with already boiled water. Add bay leaves and a small amount of butter. Cook on a very low heat. When it’s done it’s perfect. I just know when it’s done. Maybe 10 minutes? Like I say I don’t do timers or measurements. I know it all by eye.

Soak half cup to fill cup of water, about an hour to get the starch out

Drain, place in pan with a cup of water

Full gas, until are able to see very little water on the rice, stir with a fork, then turn gas off and place lid on few minutes... Fluffy rice

I now buy those 5kg bags of rice and the quality seems to be so much better. I just add it to boiling water and drain when it's cooked. No drama anymore.

Boiling for 10 minutes seems to long .I take out a tea spoonfull and taste it and squeeze some on my fingers . If it's soft enough then turn out into a sieve , throw away the water ,rince with clean boiled water over the original saucepan and prop the sieve on the saucepan. Cover and let the rice stay hot . Finish your other cooking and serve .

The absorption method, one cup of rice to two exact cups of cold water, bring to the boil and stick a lid on and reduce the heat right down to minimal. Leave it on a slow simmer for 12 minutes then take it off the heat and leave it for another 12!

Thank goodness! I was starting to panic as I read more and more weird stories of cooking rice. Like you, I just know how to do it by eye. If we can't agree on plantains thank goodness we can come together about rice. There is hope! 🤣

Redhill

Cook raw rice (2 cups) in 2tbsp of vegetable oil until it changes colour to a lighter white.

Add about 1/3 cup tomato passata, stir well and add 4 cups of chicken/vegetable stock. Bring to boil, season to taste with salt, cover and cook in medium heat for 25 min until water has evaporated. Congratulations, you’ve just made Mexican red rice. 😋 For white, omit the passata and add 1/3 cup of frozen peas and 1/3 cup frozen or fresh diced carrots with the stock.

I never eat plain boiled rice. I adore rice, but it makes my blood sugar spike in such a way that I get very ill so I choose very carefully when to eat it, very occasionally, so it has to be Mexican rice or Chinese fried rice haha.

Rinse thoroughly (keep the second rinse water in a bowl for other uses) until the water runs clear.

Into a pan with 1.5 knuckles of water above the top of the rice (I have little hands, digit measurement is variable).

Boil until water is evaporated

Fluff with a fork

Done

I wash it then cook it in the right amount of water, a couple of minutes before it’s finished I turn the heat off, fork it, leave the lid on for 10 mins then fork it again. I sometimes add a bit of salt / oil depending on the rice , will Sella AAA it’s already been done.

No idea what all this rinsing is about

I heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan, add a cup of rice and swirl it around until it’s all coated.

Add just under 2 cups of just boiled water and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover and leave for 15 minutes. Important thing is not to stir it. Voila, perfect fluffy rice.

Occasionally I make it with coconut milk, spices and kidney beans, but I tend to cook that in a frying pan and stir so it’s sticky (intentionally!)
