IMPORTANT ▼ ELECTRIC TOP NOTES ▼
▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆
Electric stoves are not like gas, when you turn the Gas down it goes down instantly, when you turn the Electric from high to low, it might oblige you in the next 5 to 10 minutes, they just are not as responsive.
You need to follow my steps as the video but make the rice dance on a ring at it's highest level but then completely move the pot to a second ring that is "already" set to 2, so it is already cooled down, cover tightly for 10 minutes.
Leaving it on the high ring just won't work, it might as well be on high for the whole cook.
On my electric hot ring, I found 2 seemed to work best, for the same 10 minutes.. You may need to use 1 but I suggest as mine worked with 2, try it.

@@fixmix9857 Time-wise, it takes much longer with a rice cooker (usually more than 40 minutes). With some rice cooker (like mine) I can set timer beforehand (in the morning) and come home after work to find cooked rice. There are many days when I come home after work and wonder if I should cook, the thought of 40 minutes at the very least often turns me to eating out. I can try to stay more organized and plan ahead, or I can try the method in this video and get rice in 15 minutes. Guess which is easier? :P

[@kdonniek]

My rice turned out totally undercooked but I thinkthe pot I used might have been too small if that's even a thing. I didn't see rice "dancing" at the side of the pot but water was definetely boiling. So I just turned off the heat, covered the pot & left it on the stove with small heat for 10 minutes. After that the result was REALLY undercooked rice so I just kept adding water & it all turned into a disastrous watery rice. Gonna try again with a bit larger pot.

[@incogneato8887]

Same result here. Infowwed the directions to the letter but undercooked a bit. Perhaps 15 minutes would be better.

[@cecilelebleu5984]

I watched this video about a year ago, and it's how I've been cooking (all) rice ever since. Where I'm from, most houses have an electric rice cooker, so people are impressed when I say I cook my rice on the stovetop. As I don't have a very bottom-heavy pan, sometimes it will burn a little on the bottom... but just adjust the heat and time up or down, depending on the amount of rice you're making, and this is the best, easiest, and most reliable way to make rice!

[@Steve-Owens]

Well thank you for dropping in and saying Cécile..

[@shadowsteve]

Thanks for the video, I'm planning on making this rice to have with a katsu curry. I've found in the past that using this method you can make virtually any white rice 'sticky'. Draining the starch off before cooking seems to be the most essential step. However you may need actual 'sushi grade rice' with some added Japanese Mirin/rice wine to be able to make sushi rolls.

[@Steve-Owens]

Thanks Steven, Yes you may and that is in the series I made but for this I made it into Onigiri, where it would be wrong to add those things, Sushi Rice as you know has many Functions best not season until you have a goal..

I tried to make onigiri- just a regular triangle onigiri with nori without any fillings because I didn't have any- and it was my first time cooking sushi rice so I tried your tutorial, I was a bit scared at first that it'll be undercooked but it turned out very nice, just some rice got stuck on the bottom of the pot, so I'll add a bit more water next time. I made 4 onigiris and gave them to my parents and brother and me and they liked them :)

[@lollylas8330]

Same! I am about to make onigiri but idk how to make the rice xd

[@julyol119]

This method is amazing! Really is perfect every time. If I want the rice to be a little more mushy, I'll add just a little more water. The only negative is, that when you cook rice in a lot of water, it washes out all the arsenic that many rice sorts have in small amounts in them.

[@MindbodyMedic]

its an important point Steve that you probably thought is a bit silly but isn't. a lot of people don't have basic cooking skills, its a real tragedy. Knowing correct methods could save enormously on energy.

[@coiridhwever3475]

Made sushi for the first time tonight. First time, we cooked it like we cook our white rice - 2 cups of rice, 4 cups of water, boil, and simmer for 20 minutes... The rice turned into a glue-like mush. On our second attempt, we used 2 cups of rice and 2 cups of water, but we used too much heat (I think), "peeked", and (I am pretty sure) used a sausepan that was too large for the amount of rice being cooked. This batch came out edible, but undercooked with a gross crunchy center. I am excited to try these instructions tomorrow. Thank you for posting this tutorial.

I just tried this for the first time and it was so easy and I couldn't believe it when it turned out perfectly cooked and sticky. Just like at Japanese restaurants! For the people saying that it wasn't cooked I'm sure it wasn't sushi rice that they bought. You have to buy short grain rice (sushi rice). Thanks so much! This was the first thing I cooked while following a video that actually turned or good!

[@Steve-Owens]

Thank you Nati and thanks for sharing your experience :) Steve

Lars Rasmussen :o) Thanks for saying Lars

[@ivanlow5551]

Thank you so much, only knew how to cook rice in a rice cooker!. wanted to learn to cook rice in a pot to save electricity and trees!!!

[@mahraalm1115]

Didn’t expect this to work! My rice turned out perfect.

"If I were using this for sushi I would add sugar and vinegar"- which is not shown.... yet this is supposed to be sushi rice.

[@2Edgy4ThisPlanet]

a lot of westerners refer to Japanese rice as sushi rice it even comes in a bag that says sushi rice even tho its the same as Japanese rice.

[@englishatheart]

@@2Edgy4ThisPlanet Because it is the rice used to make sushi, a.k.a. vinegared rice. If it was prepared rice, it would just be sushi. Just as ramen is noodles AND soup, but ramen noodles is just the noodles.

Hey Steve! I love your channel! Maybe you can help me out though when it comes to Sushi rice since I'm so frustrated right now. I've tried cooking sushi rice about a year ago, and probably cooked about 4 batches of rice, which all failed. I threw away the sushi mat, and the rest of the ingredients and didn't give it another go until today. So I bought two brands of sushi rice, looked up some tutorials online but also tried to follow the instructions on the rice. Also I have to mention, we have an induction stove top. That means that when I turn the heat down, it instantly goes down just like with gas. Before I go into detail, I cooked three batches tonight and all of them were undercooked. I threw way loooooots of rice :-( I tried your method using the 10 minutes and equal amounts of water to rice. Way undercooked but very sticky at the same time. Like sticky outer grains but hard inside. I tried cooking with some more water and for almost 15 minutes. Undercooked. I tried cooking with even more water, and 20 minutes. Undercooked. I have the lid on with a tea towel tucked in between, letting no steam escape. Also I can't get the rice to dance in any way, it just starts to boil after a while but that thing you show doesn't happen. I cook every single day, and I'm really not a bad cook to be honest ;-) Sushi is one of my favourite foods however, and we have only one restaurant here where we can order from and it's crazy expensive. All I want is to make avocado maki's but I just can't cook a "simple" batch of rice. How badly I wish they sold pre cooked sushi rice at the supermarket ;-) Anyway, I guess I have to give up again, or just buy a 10 kilo bag of rice, and spend a day trying different techniques. Or just get a rice cooker, which I hear gets the easiest results. Anyways, I really do love your channel, and have used a lot of your recipes with great success!!! Hugs from Germany!

+Boys & Bunting Thanks B&B, great comment, It's tricky, I have cooked with induction but not the rice. from my experience and induction will be very trick as it transfers heat very quickly to liquids but not solids, the warming up and dancing is very important. I have to get my hands on an induction stove and give it a try but I am not going to be of much help until then, sorry. Somethings and induction stove does really well but rice just isn't one of them. Good on you for the persistence.. Do you have a Microwave?? Steve

[@gustavotorresvan]

dude im sorry, you just dont have the touch

[@johnw3736]

I heat my rice to a rolling boil. as soon as it boils, I cover the pot, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, and let it go for 20 minutes. For sushi rice i go for 15 minutes. Once the time is up, i allow the rice to sit for another 5 minutes. 99 times out of 100 that method gives me perfecr rice.

[@mystory3998]

U explained my exact situation

[@thaiscapdeville9501]

That happened to me last night! Three nights ago I followed this video (had done it before) and the rice was perfect. Went to make some more last night, followed the exact same steps and all three batches were undercooked but sticky. Hard inside. I didn’t change anything about the cooking process and it’s so weird that it suddenly stopped working for me. I have a gas stove. Even tried on different burners to make sure that wasn’t the problem. No idea how to fix it :( now I’m super turned off from making sushi

[@isentropic8279]

This is the best rice cooking video ever. 4th time using this method and it’s perfect every time. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@juliajpjpjp]

Standing ovations ! Using this method all the time and recommending to all my friends and family :)

[@LotusBom]

Im going to try this and pray that it comes out good XC

[@Steve-Owens]

Hope it works for you..

[@Kchan1223]

How did it turn out?

[@miken767]

Kchan1223 I think she's in a better place now..

[@EagleFlight2007]

I followed your recipe exactly how you did and the rice came out crunchy/undercooked.

[@Steve-Owens]

EagleFlight195 You followed some of it but not exactly. Otherwise it's not possible that it came out crunchy. It works every time.

[@katherineponte1556]

@@Steve-Owens I tried this as well and it burned my rice, so maybe not every time huh?

[@grounded_5588]

@@Steve-Owens I also did it the same man, undercooked gross rice.

[@temujin23]

I don't know why I have never been able to get rice right but I haven't, until today. I can't thank you enough. Perfect rice on my first try.

[@Steve-Owens]

You’re welcome

[@MRobo-vt1xl]

Can't believe this worked! Even on an electric just took it off the heat and changed to an element set on low. Thanks Steve!

[@cheftylermarsh2858]
