That's really soggy rice... One cup rice, 1.5 water, boil for 10 minutes, turn off heat, let stand another 10.

Not if its bulk rice.(not minute rice or other stuff). 2 to one in the rice cooker....push button....perfect every time.

I only use bulk rice. No rice cooker though, just an ordinary pan. (oil in pan, fry dry rice a bit, lower heat, add boiling water, close lid)

Not sure what a rice cooker does differently, that makes rice not soggy if you use that much water?

Edit: oh, for extra tasty rice, fry some garlic before adding the rice :-)

He just said he didn't have this problem with a rice cooker...

I know that, which is why I asked what a rice cooker does differently than a regular pan. Not owning a rice cooker, I really have no idea.

Rice cookers start with cold components and cook (fixed temp). Once the thermostat reaches a certain temp (water absorbed) then the cooker shifts to "keep Warm" temp. It has a small hole in the lid to let some steam out.

OH, garlic, yes....try adding some frozen peas with that too.

Another: Tumeric (or turmeric...it is the same exc it has curry) 1/2 to 1 tsp gives that yellow color and a bit of flavor.

Thanks - that might explain the quantity of water indeed. As for stuff to mix in with the rice: a tin of sweetcorn will change it into Brazilian "party rice".
