So after following a rice cooker thread just wanted to give method given to me 40 years ago from a Chinese man who grew up in Hawaii in the food business. Works every time. No rice cooker needed. Rice in pan, amount not important..one knuckle of water above the rice..bring to a rolling boil and hold for a couple minutes. Cover with lid tightly and let sit for 7-10 minutes. Can’t miss. Your welcome Mike | ||

Yup. That is how we used to do it before the rice cooker era. In fact, even with the rice cooker, I still use that method when cooking rice. Or 1 cup rice and 1 cup water. The only thing that method will not work with (or at least I was not able to) was with brown rice. I can never get the water level right, _______________________ P228 - West German | |||

My way. For jasmine rice, 10 minutes medium fire, 10 minutes low fire, and done. Q | |||

Sooo....a knuckle is what? half an inch? .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

Knuckle is probably an inch but fingertip to first bend is what I use. | |||

Alton Brown has a youtube on cooking rice. It’s fool proof and the rice comes out perfect. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

The recipe says nothing about cooking the rice before hand. We pan cook the rice, not quite enough to brown it but to enhance the flavor, in a little oil. Then add the prescribed amount of water and cook. Typically it’s cooked with a leftover onion end and for some flavor. 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

Here is Alton Brown's recipe. He shot this during the Covid Scamdemic shutdown, so you have a reference for some of this jokes... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

Maybe for plain 15 minute white rice but no way that'll work with the long grain brown rice I use. For that I put 2 water to 1 rice in the pan, cover and bring to a boil, then low simmer for 40 minutes. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

I always use ratios and rinse the crap out of the rice with cold water Buckets or cups, it doesn't matter as long as the ratio of water to rice is good Used to do 3:1 but now do 2:1 and it comes out really good and not mushy | |||

^^^^^^^ In video above, Alton is using 3:2 or in my case, 1.5:1. Perfectly Al Dente! @ridewv...yeah...brown rice is a different story. I have yet to find a fool-proof combination for that, but if memory serves, I was using a recipe from Giada De Laurentiis. Can't find it... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

I realized I forgot about the toasted crust at the bottom I would roll with some home made pork floss as a kid. With the new auto ricecookers, we don't get that crust anymore. Guess I have to cook some rice OG style this weekend. | |||

2-1 does work well for me. Dump 1 cup rice, 2 cups water, and a pinch of salt (sometimes a shake of curry too) in the pan and cover. As soon as it comes to a boil turn to simmer and set timer for 40 minutes. Anymore I use a little Korean rice cooker but it seems to mimic my stovetop method only after dumping in the ingredients I just have to push a button. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

I use 2:1 liquid to rice ratio, but, if just making white rice, I use boxed chicken broth for the liquid, add a squeeze of Spice World crushed ginger, and about half a stick of salted butter. 20 minutes in microwave on high in a glass bowl is a surefire way to make rice without it sticking. I prefer to simmer, however, as I like my rice a bit sticky. If making rice for something like shish-kabob, I use the leftover marinade as the first element of the 2:1 ratio, and make up the difference with chicken broth. That way, the rice has a flavor that compliments the grilled meat and veggies. Finally, I prefer basmati rice, and jasmine in second place. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."
