British Rice Cooking

[@birojitmondal2913]

For most common Indian households, basmati is a luxury item only used for special dishes. For everyday food we usually eat much more cheaper rice

[@satyakisil9711]

After all, they learned to cook it from the best in Calcutta lol.

[@zanwrightmfwr756]

@gump sin7 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.

[@whyisthisdifferentnow]

Exactly!

[@GSMachinist]

I don't know about anywhere else but in Japan there was quite an involved process of soaking the rice, using a specific pot (heavy ceramic with a tightly-sealed lid) and listening very carefully to the sounds the rice makes while cooking to know when all of the water has been absorbed. Nancy Singleton Hachisu explains it very thoroughly in one of her cookbooks but tbh I bought a cheap rice cooker a while ago and never looked back-- I am too anxious to carefully listen for the very beginning sizzling noises that mean the water is gone without ever taking the lid off my pot

[@AnjaliSharma-pz6uw]

We cook rice everyday without a rice cooker. It just needs a high pan or a pressure cooker.

[@pinkdarkman]

@@GSMachinist Just buy a pot with a clear lid. I make rice on the stovetop all the time in a normal pot. I follow the package instructions for water to rice ratio and then use the cooking time as a rough estimation. Then I just check on it like every 5 minutes by looking through the lid and stop when I can see the water has all absorbed. I get nice, fluffy rice every time. Nothing stressful about it. I do notice with Japanese rice (short grain) you CAN hear the difference in how long it's been cooking, but you don't need to rely on that when you have a see through lid.

[@leidincradian144]

We Bengalis used earthen pots with earthen lids. When the rice was cooked, We hold tightly the pot with the lid and tilt it over the sink so that the excess water drains between the pot and the lid.

[@BenjaminVestergaard]

My mom always made rice with some chopped onion and a tiny bit of oil... Danish rice dishes are not supposed to be eaten with chopsticks, so stickiness isn't seen as a good thing.

Well, actually according to Indonesian uncles and aunties, if you decide not to use rice cooker, steam your rice for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will ensure it is fully cooked. (Said by someone who cooks rice with no rice cooker on a daily basis, have been rice eater since 6 months old.)

[@akemihayashi3544]

as an indonesian, i can confirm this. also if the rice cooker failed to cook the rice, like when you mistakenly put not enough water in it, you can recook the failed rice in a steamer for a while & then the failed rice would be fully cook perfectly👍

the only difference between using a rice cooker and a normal pan pot or whatever, is that a rice cooker will automaticly stop heating when the rice is done. But if u use other stuff to cook rice, u'll have to monitor it carefully or it'll be overcooked or burnt.

[@clarewhite3004]

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.

[@thebigfatpanda1]

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 ]

As an Indian, we don't use rice cookers, even though we eat a lot of rice. we just use a pot and the 2:1 method of Basmati to water, and then cover with a muslin cloth to steam so the rice can seperate into individual grains and not be clumpy or mushy, and the rice turns out fluffy and perfect. It's not difficult, it's one of the easiest things to cook. When we serve rice with a curry, we will just cook lots of garlic in a pot in lots of ghee and coconut oil or mustard oil, then take the garlic out, and put the cooked rice into the garlicky oil, and add any veggies you want for the perfect garlic fried rice.

Mix with some gravy and make it wet and sticky, or eat with less gravy and enjoy the dry consistency. And we eat rice and associated dishes with hand - which is perfect for enjoying dry cooked rice.

We cook regular rice in a pressure cooker sometimes... If we're in a hurry ... It's very tasty and moist... But you've to careful with the amount of the water...

I love watching uncle Roger!

[@cybersloth2467]

Wait... You can make cake in a rice cooker?

I dont have money for a rice cooker man-

Actually rice is eaten very differently all over South East Asia. In Japan and China, they usually use chopsticks to eat their food, hence they prefer sticky rice. In the Indian subcontinent we prefer rice where individual rice grains aren't sticking to each other, since we prefer to eat with spoon, fork or even our hand.

I heard, in Malaysia, Sabah is the state that is best at cooking rice, like that song, ' sumandak sabah pandai masak nasi~'

[@Someguythatlikespizza]

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

Why does uncle roger assume that a person doesnt know how to cook rice based off their ethnicity??

[@quackers3198]

Rice cooker multipurpose

[@lalianza]

Most brazilian households don't have Rice cookers and mostly do Rice in sauce Pan everyday and its gives great results after dome experience. Some houses Aldo like tô add garlic or onions at the rice and sauce Pan do it better than most afordables rice cookers...

[@pigeon1923]

I'm from a Jamaican family in the UK , we never used rice cookers. My nan has several that she refuses to use 😭 we only cook with basmati. Usually we just do the finger method and leave it be. Found out this method doesn't really work well with my pans. I'm lazy and I eat rice everyday so I figured out an easier method, I just weigh my rice and ass double the water. Put the heat on max, let the water start to boil and then turn off the heat immediately. I come back a little while later and the rice is perfectly cooked, fluffy and ready to eat.

[@derekhanusch4593]

he didn't wash the rice??

[@rayelgatubelo]

Yeah, white people tend not to do that. For risotto and paella, they depend on not cleaning the rice. Hispanic people don't clean rice either, and you can't say they don't know rice.

[@derekhanusch4593]

@@rayelgatubelo yah well Uncle Roger is known for, among many other things, objecting to people not washing their rice: you're supposed to cook rice the right way-not the white way

[@TechWiz717]

He’s not making fried rice so I think uncle roger lets it slide. Washing it will remove dust and any other (soluble) crap it might have picked up along the way, as well as removing some of the starch. Fried rice the separate grains are really important, it’s a crucial part. You might not need to worry about it as much for other dishes, especially if it’s something like rice + random protein/veg on the side.

[@derekhanusch4593]

@@TechWiz717 no, if rice needs to be washed, you can tell the difference even if you don't fry it

The rice look okay but my ancestors not😭😭

Rice doesn’t grow in Britain. It’s only a relatively recent addition to the menu. The most common rice here is basmati thanks to our cousins in India Pakistan and Bangladesh who recommended it.

[@ZevReaper]

We have a rice cooker too but there are times when we use a sausepan or a pot if there is a blackout or cook outside and if the rice cooker is broken or no longer working

[@brian177]

Even just for rice, a rice cooker is worth it. Set it shd forget it. Perfect rice every time.

[@binayakdahal7176]

In my country we cook rice in pressure cooker. And yes it cooks perfectly.

[@shivanishanxyz7469]

In India generally As basmati rice is aromatic rice , it’s used for special occasions or to make something special on a special day. Some parts of northern India use basmati rice for everyday purpose. Southern part doesn’t use basmati rice for everyday use as it is believed it takes time to digest it. Parboiled or boiled rice , red rice is used for everyday use. Just imagine sticky rice which is non sticky !

[@Spheredalai]

honestly in terms of rice, there are 3 general types -The "Arabic" rice, -The Japanese rice, and -The cheap ass Southeast asian rice - the Arabic rice's shape is very thin but also very long, the least stickiest, and normally enjoyed with dishes involving beef or lamb - the Japanese rice is very short but sort of thicc or fat in diameter, extremely sticky and perfect for dishes like sushi because trust me making sushi with other rice is hard and easy to break off - finally the cheap southeast Asian rice, the shape is in the middle of Arabic and Japanese, it's short and thin, sorta sticky but not really, imo can be used for more dishes than Arabic and Japanese rice

[@reveirg9]

I think you are misinformed. Arabs and SEAsians both use basmati or jasmine rice.

[@vitorradi7777]

We eat rice and beans every day here in Brazil, it's funny to see someone happy because was able to cook it.

Rice is an exotic delicacy in Britain. Along with spices and flavour.

[@knockdoun]

In the US I HATE when restaurants add oil to the rice. or they will rinse the rice before hand to remove the sticky starch. Personally my favorite thing about rice is how it sticks together

[@Genzosanzosesshomaru]

There are many methods of cooking rice. I am from Calcutta, India. We eat rice daily and we have a different method of cooking rice, we let a pot of water boil, then add in our washed rice, let it cook till the rice is little more than Al Dante(just a tiny bit), then we strain the water from the pot, by putting a lid on it, and drain every last bit of water, the just fluff the rice and there too you will end up with fluffy rice with no grain sticking to each other. There are definitely many ways of cooking rice other than using a rice cooker.

[@HopeP0H]

No need for rice cooker, just use pan and add some butter for extra flavor
