      @@gumpsin7387 As a fellow asian, I will tell you the secret of cooking rice. The probable reason of why your rice is too wet is either you put too much water or it's undercooked. Sometimes the finger method don't work on smaller batches, so my best way too cook rice is a 2:3 ratio of rice:water. If you have 1 cup of rice, you put 1.5 cups of water, so on so forth. If you don't trust your rice cooker, don't worry, just use a pot. You can easily use the method in the video. My preferred way is to have 2 different pots, one for sort of sautee and other for steaming. Put your rice and water to the first pot on medium heat. On your second pot, bring 2-3 cups of water to a boil. Stir the rice gently using a spoon/spatula, preferably a ladle, for roughly 10-15 mins until it thickens and bubbles like a thick stew. After you're done with that, take it off the stove. Next you want a base to steam the half-cooked rice on the second pot with the boiling water. Preferably, you should use a strain or a steel mesh as the base. Put your half-cooked rice onto the strain and have it hover the boiling water. Put the lid on and wait 30-40 minutes over medium heat. You can finish early or late depending on your preferred rice texture. Usually when the rice is wet, it's undercooked.

      To be fair in some southeast asian countries especially in the provinces they don't even have rice cookers or gas heck some are too poor to even afford a basic one when rice in of itself is a luxury as staple foods there would probably consist of fish or meat which they portioned for selling and consuming, wild root vegetables, bananas, or corn, also they just use pots of steel or clay that's probably been in the family for like several generations, and still they manage to cook rice perfectly and the benefit of not cooking it in a rice cooker is sometimes you get crispy bits that stick to the surface of said cooking vessel which are like the best part of rice, nonetheless rice is rice and as long as its cooked perfectly and done right that our ancestors nod in approval then who cares what you used to cook rice, plus it is literally cheaper to just use a pot, rice cooker just make cooking rice more convenient since you don't have to watch over it if it burns since it automatically stops the cooking process and switches it to the warm setting to keep it hot, plus its best for the environment to just use what you have on hand rather than buy a new rice cooker and increase your already large carbon footprint, unless of course its surplus or second hand then I suggest doing so if you are capable of

    You can cook rice correctly in a saucepan. My mother loathes single-use appliances and she always cooks it in a saucepan. She taught me to check for doneness by tilting the pot. Bring the water/rice/salt to a boil, immediately turn it down to a simmer, cover the pot but leave a crack for steam to escape, wait till you can't see any more water on top, and then start keeping a close eye on the it. As soon as you can turn the pot almost sideways without seeing any water come out from under the rice, it's done. It takes longer to cook this way though. I have a rice cooker now, but I decided to devote more of my kitchen space to appliances than my mom does.

      washing a rice is not needed in case of basmati rice in the Europe. too much regulation in my humble opinion, but in this case, you can cook without washin it due to those regulations. paraboiled rice of unkown quality that I bought ... it took me 7 washes (15-20 min stand for each wash) to get it sufficiently clean and it was horrible to get the water:rice ratio right. it was more expensive tha the basmati as well.

    1) Rice cooker - make rice fast, doesn't need much attention and rice 🍚 made is good
    2) If you use pan or any thick bottom utensil you need to pay extra attention so that it does not stick to bottom or you don't run out of water, but it you add a bit of oil while cooking rice in pan, it's made better. (Also salt is must while making rice)
    3) this third method of preparing rice is used when there's a feast ( in Himachal, india, specially) you put excess water while making rice and make in open pan ( or other utensil ). ( also whenever making rice salt is must) when rice gets cooked you drain the water. In this way rice cooked as less starch and feels very light to eat. By doing this a person can eat more than double than his capacity. [this is done because in these feast (locally called dhaam) there are about 7 to 10 items ]

    I am guessing he used the absorbtion method of cooking rice, the lid gave that away, it's got rubber edges so steam won't easily escape. You essentially bring the water to a boil, put it on low heat, and then turn off the heat entirely, the rice will absorb all of the water and properly cook. This method works best with a heavy bottom pot and a tight lid, you need the steam to stay.

Same as Porridge, you may never try this method from our grandma, (likely from 1970 to now) the best part of Porridge is slightly burned part, it forms a mass at the bottom of the pot. If you want to know the feeling and flavor, it's like a rice grain version of soft cheese, very delicious but also extremely painful to make (more harder than how to make scorched rice).

    What the hell is so difficult about cooking rice anyway? Even in a pot it's so fucking simple.
    1. Get a pot.
    2. Put in some rice in the pot.
    3. Wash in COLD water until clear of shit.
    4. Afterwards, put in some water.
    5. Measurement for the water: Dip your finger into the rice down to the base of the pot and remember where the top of the rice ends up on your finger.
    6. Then place your finger upright on TOP of the rice and where the rice ended up in the last step, that's how much water you put in.
    7. Place on HIGH heat and cover until the point of boiling and the lid is dancing around on top.
    8. Reduce to MEDIUM heat and wait until you hear the rice on the bottom of the pot make a sizzling noise (not too much or you know it's burnt).
    9. DO NOT lift the lid up yet, wait for about 5 more mins and then you're done.
    Or for something much more simpler:
    Get a rice cooker and repeat steps 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 only
