How do l you cook rice?!


Question: How do l you cook rice!?
Answers:
To cook rice on a stove, you’ll need a heavy-bottomed saucepan with a tight-fitting lid!. If you’d like your rice grains to be very separated, sauté your rice in a little bit of oil or butter before adding water!. Otherwise, combine water with rice in the following ratios (water:rice) …
Short-grained rice = 1!.33:1 (for a nice, chewy rice) OR 1!.5:1 (for a soft rice, or if you haven’t rinsed)
Long-grained rice = 1!.75:1

Turn the heat to high and leave the pot uncovered!. When the water reaches a boil, turn the heat down to medium-low or low, depending upon how hot your stove runs, then cover and cook for 15 minutes!. Don’t peek during this time and, unless you want your rice good and gooey, don’t stir either!. If the rice is still too hard, add a little bit of hot water and cook, covered and simmering, for another couple of minutes!. If it’s too liquidy, cook uncovered until the water evaporates!. If you like your rice fluffy, break up and toss the cooked rice with a fork, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes!.

How to Cook Rice
Excelsior Culinary Students, Cooking a pot of rice is one of those everyday things that everyone has to do, but no-one seems to be able to do well! For most, the biggest problem is rice sticking to the bottom of the pot or burning altogether!. With this technique, this is no longer a worry!. Since the pot is not over an open flame and the steam will keep the pot moist even after the rice finishes cooking, you can walk away, forget about it, and go take a nap!.

STEPS!!

Before you begin step one, place the amount of rice needed in a bowl and rinse/wash in sink until it the water is clear enough to see the rice through it!. So basically, keep the water running on low until the foggy white color turns to clean clear!.

Measure one cup of normal, dry rice grains into a pot!.

Pour one and a half cups of cold water into the pot!.

Place the pot over a moderate to high heat!.

Turn down the heat to the minimum possible when the rice comes to a rolling boil, and continue heating for five more minutes!. Place a well sealed lid on the pot at this time!.

A "rolling boil" is when large bubbles appear that cannot be dissipated by stirring, and will keep breaking the surface!. In making rice, the rolling boil is important so that enough steam builds up to completely cook the rice without it being over an open flame!.

Turn off the heat after five minutes!. Place a paper towel between the lid and the pot to avoid moisture buildup!. Do not lift the lid as the steam inside will cook the rice through!.

The pot of rice will be fully cooked, light and ready to eat about 10 minutes after the heat is turned off!.

Take a little taste of the rice to be sure it is cooked (this should be no problem if you measured out the water correctly)!. If the rice is still a bit crunchy, put the lid back on to retain the steam, and get a little bit of hot water from the tap (not too much, maybe a ? of a cup) and add it to the pot!. Put the lid back on and wait another few minutes!.



TIPS!!

You may wish to tweak the "rice to water ratio" with experience - for example: for larger quantities of rice, you may find a little less or more than one and a half the amount of water results in better rice!.
One cup of dry rice grains cooked in this way is about sufficient to accompany a meal for 2 adults!.
If the rice is a major component of the dish, you might need up to 1 cup of rice per adult!.
Your base measurement doesn't need to be a cup necessarily - the key is to add 1!.5x as much water as rice, whatever the quantity!.
It works best to use the original lid of the pot you use, since it will seal best!.
When the rice first boils, it might weep a bit or even lift the lid!. Keep watch and an ear out for the start of the boil!.
These times and ratios are for white rice (e!.g!. Jasmine, Basmati, etc)!. If you are cooking brown rice you will need around 2C water to 1C rice and double the time!.
Salt is not necessary when cooking rice, but can be added!. Unless you add a ridiculous amount of salt it will not significantly change the boiling temperature or time!.
Water boils at a lower temperature at altitude!. If you live at a high altitude it will take longer to cook rice using this method!.

The easiest way to buy a rice cooker!. It is a relatively inexpensive piece of equipment that simplifies the process immensely, the cooker looks like a pressure cooker with an electrical cord!. It has a removable pot/container in it for the rice!. All you have to do is measure out the rice (one cup should get you enough for two or three full bowls of rice (normal sized rice bowls)!. The rice cooker should come with a small cup to measure with!. However many cups of rice you use, double the amount of water (e!.g!. one cup rice, two cups water)!. Combine the rice and water in the pot and place the pot back in the rice cooker!. Close the lid and plug the cooker in!. There should be a button to press to change the setting from "Keep Warm" to "Cook"!. Now all you have to do is sit back and wait for the rice to finish (you'll know it's done when the setting pops back to "Keep Warm"!. It should take about a half hour (30min)!. Don't leave the cooker on "Keep Warm" for too long (in other words unplug not too long after it's done) because it can dry out the rice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
