Long Grain White Rice Help?!
Answers: I'm having a problem with long grain white rice. I can't cook it!! lol. I'm trying to make the rice the same way I make other rices for example parbroiled rice. 2 times the amt of water to rice. So if I'm using 2 cups of rice, i use 4 cups of water. The parbroiled comes out perfect. Everytime I make white rice, it's either too soggy...so then I cut down the water and then the grains are too hard. I can't make it good. I'm not trying to use a rice cooker so can anybody tell me a way to make perfect white rice? I appreciate any help.
Hello
Cooking Method of Long Rice.
Take thick bottom of Utnsils.
Take 1 Cup rice and 1 1/2 Cup water. Boil water and add the Rice. Boil for 5 Minites. Drain out water. Now your Lengthy Rice is Ready. Cooked and freely, nonsticky.

Although I use a rice cooker, before, the 3:1 [three cups water, one cup rice] ratio worked perfectly for me. However, it seems that for you, 2:1 is even too much water. Perhaps trying a 1 1/2 : 1 ratio?
I think you may be cooking it to high. I let it boil for 3 minutes, then put it on another burner, covered for 15 minutes. Do not open to check, it will be soggy.
As a professional chef, I must say that the rice cooker is one of the best appliances for the home kitchen. You can make brown rice taste as fluffy as white, and it ALWAYS comes out perfect. I steam chicken, fish, tamales, and veggies-Asparagus is perfect- in mine. Even perfectly "boiled" eggs. And if that isn't clincher enough, you can set the time and walk away, and it still comes out perfect EVERY time. Consider it, as it will quickly become your new best friend.
Try using the same amount of water but don't cook it as long and try it every so often and take it out of the water when it is perfectly cooked.
when you use for instance, 2 cups of water, you only use 1/2 of that for the rice (1 cup of rice). I let my 2 cups of water boil with salt and butter in it. Once the water starts to boil, I add my 1 cup of rice. I stir it , put a cover over it and turn the heat down low. I stir it maybe every 3 minutes or so until water is gone from the rice.
