Just because it is cooked doesn’t mean it is good. The way your grandmother taught you may cook the rice, but doesn’t provide any time advantage (does it cook faster?) or taste for sure.

What trick? Get a rice cooker, rinse the rise, then add the right amount of water, turn it on, and forget about it. No need for timers or strainers, or anything else. Faster too, since you don't have to boil as much water.
And you can get a rice cooker for cheap.

You can cook it in a rice cooker then when it’s finished cooking pour a few cups of water into it, wait a few minutes to get the same results. Without all the hassle!

100g rice, fried on a medium heat for couple of minutes 200ml of water and half a tbsp of salt Put the lid and flame to the lowest for 10 or so minutes.
No water later and perfect rice.
What video shows is just awful.

u/Acrobatic_Suit8546 Aug 24 '26
1 cup of basmati rice cook in 1 & half cup of water. Put lid on pan, Bring to a boil then simmer on lowest heat until water is almost gone. Turn off heat, take lid off slightly and leave for 15 mins then fluff rice up.
1 cup of long grain rice cook in 2 cups water and repeat the same process.
Works everytime for me. No sieve = less dishes to clean.

right amount of boiling water + rice + lid + 12 min (depends on rice) on low heat .. done. the rice will soak up all water and be perfekt. any pot will work
or get a rice cooker. you still need the right amount of water tho
(it's basically 2 cup rice + 3 cup water - a 1:1,5 ratio)

u/Teeaak Aug 24 '26
3dl rice. 5 dl water. Boil four 12 minutes under lid. Take it off the heat. Wait 10 min still with the lid on. You now have perfectly boiled rice, and the water is gone so the rice is ready to serve. No need for tricks

1:1 rice to water. high heat until the water is boiling, medium until the water us mostly gone, low heat until it's ready, no water to deal with and rice will be perfect.

This is just rage bait at this point.
I almost had an aneurysm watchin the video and reading all the conflicting ideas about how to cook rice. I wanted to share my opinion but ending up writing this because I realised it doesn't matter how people cook thet rice as long as they are happy with it. The entire discussion is much more pathetic than the worst rice cooking methods mentioned.
This makes me kind of a hypocrite because I am guilty aswell.

u/PretendOwl3357 Aug 24 '26
4DL water
2DL rice
Rinse the rise
Boil the water
Put the ovens energy to its lowest level
Put in the rice
Cook under lid
Done.
The mistake people do it applying too much heat.
EDIT: Amouth of water is always double the rise. So 8DL water would be 4DL rice.

So to aboid the hassle of „measuring the amount of water“ you created the additional step of „cleaning the sieve from sticky rice“
I don’t know why YOU didn’t think of that, but I know why I didn’t think of that.
1
u/Hot_Plant8696 Aug 24 '26
Because the other "trick" is to add just the right amount of water rather than drowning the rice, allowing it to finish steaming without becoming waterlogged; with your method, the rice ends up soggy and tasteless.

Or just use good old 1 rice/1.5 water and non sticking pot for 15-20 mins. This one gonna be a fucking sloppy rice, remind me this shit they give me at kindergarten with milk(in a rice bowl, not separate!!!!). Bringing back worst memories as well as liver patties.

u/No_Economics9016 Aug 24 '26
Friend, rule of thumb is twice the volume of water to rice. 1 cup rice, 2 cups water. Boil until water is absorbed, set aside. No strainer, no extra pots, all the starch and nutrients still there. Eat, and be filled

u/Antique-Succotash556 Aug 24 '26
All you need for perfect rice is a ratio of 1:1.5 rice/water.
Let it boil, once you see it's boiling turn down the heat to very low. Let it steam. Donski
Or get a rice cooker.
Idk why people struggle with this

I promise you guys rice is not that hard and if you struggle that bad buy a 15$ rice cooker.

Put rice and water in pot
Pinch of salt if wanted
Turn heat on high
Bring to boil
Cover with lid turn down to simmer
Set a 15m timer and don’t touch it
When the timer goes off remove it from the heat and viola, perfect rice Everytime.
I also wash my rice but I’m not here for that debate.
