How to cook rice WITHOUT RICE COOKER

[@paengsolo2047]

I learned that when I was 7 years old now I'm 62 and I never fail

[@rugma1696]

I wanna try the rice you made 😊

[@digitaldrag2]

Finally! Someone explained necessary water adjustment. Not just first line in any rice quantity... Just how I was taught 35yrs ago. And now my children does the same method as me.

[@jacketan1959]

Honestly, huge number of Filipinos don’t have a rice cooker in their kitchens, they cook rice using “Kaldero”. And in some areas they using Caldero and cooking this using woods and that’s really hard.

[@owendavidmalicsi5900]

here in my place, i'm not from manila btw, almost everyone uses a rice cooker nowadays unless there's a gathering or fiesta when they will cook the rice in a giant pot. Another sharing, rice cooked in bamboo is fun and has a hint of sweetness to it. I hope people can try it

[@liliwang5075]

Well since rice cookers are so cheap nowadays.. Not every one.but at least most of filipinos can now afford to buy one 😊

[@kms32690]

We have, and I wanted to use it so we did for awhile, but now my parents are back to the classic pot for rice, the one we only specifically use for rice.

[@irishconcepcion2900]

it's not that hard😂 just let it be and it will cook perfectly

[@phh.8393]

I have a couple of rice cookers but I still sometimes cook on stove.

[@evelynestuar336]

Whatever the height of the rice, should be the height of the water on top. ( Use your finger ) Make adjustment, as different rice needs different amount of water.

[@anne-em7zu]

Ganito turo samin.

[@ahlembell8843]

We do the same measuring too.Using the finger, use the HEIGHT of the RICE from the bottom, the same height measurement of water FROM THE TOP of the RICE LEVEL. Just adjust with the kind of rice variety

[@IAMJ0E18]

Yesss ❤

[@theguywhoasked-r7e]

I prefer the amount of water to be 3/4 of the rice

[@multiream]

You need to leave the rice in the pot for at least 10 more minutes so it doesn't stick to it

it's interesting to learn new way of cooking rice from another country, my javanese grandma taught me to cook the rice in high heat without the lid until the water boiled then turn it to veryyyy low heat with the lid on for 15-20 mins and then turn off the heat, wait for another 10-15 mins before we can mix(?) the rice so it won't stick to the pot

[@giancarlojamison5919]

its basically the same. But covering the pot makes it boil faster because you are keeping the heat inside the pot rather than releasing it through vapors.

[@ChechePalacio-d1j]

Ooh, long process..without the lid it takes long time to cook

[@vqvb2429]

Yes! Exactly how I do it and how my grandmother taught me. I didn’t think that all Filipinos have this same method from beginning to end. This is how we never go wrong even if we use firewood to cook rice.

[@lindabuck2777]

I’ve seen so many methods now it’s daunting! 69, always pot stove lid no peek!!! I adopted the shutoff method and let sit, works even better, more fluff no stick. One of my favorite meals is rice with GRAVY and usually a pot roast! I HAVE to have a sauce of some kind, for me anyway!🤣I’m not a rice pudding fan nor bread pudding, don’t know why I am this way lol but more for YOU ok? I’ve never tried mango sticky rice but do wish to at least TRY it once because that’s my personal rule! I can’t STAND eggplant either but I’ve made it because my loved one wanted it! He said tasted like his grammas-THATS a blessing!!! I want to stay in Philipines for at least 6months to a year to eat all their foods, learn how to make dishes, and mostly FRESH FRUIT and VEGGIES grown right there, fresh picked in the morning! 🙏🏻❤️😎

[@johnthree1647]

I base my water on the type of rice I use. Some rice just loves water.

[@lyfislemons0075]

True, cooking the freshly bought rice is a trial and error. Some needs so much water and some little. And some even need you to cook it in a very low heat throughout.

[@d3sladrvltia88]

So true. Each rice has a specific water measurement when cooking it.

[@goddyblaq]

I only knew of rice cookers when moved to the Philippines. In Cameroon just like most African kitchen we just cook the rice in pot. Lol it still amazes me that cooker was created just for rice. 6 years on and I'm still amazed by the rice cooker thing.

Nah, in the Philippines we use the rice cooker in several ways. First, is for rice steaming, cooking rice cake, steam dumpling and for frying😅

[@frapur8409]

As a German it took me way too many years to learn how to cook rice. My parents actually cooked parboiled rice in plastic bags...yeah...I had a rough start.

[@hannapanna530]

What absolutely baffles me are the cooking instructions on rice packages in Germany. I mean, how haven't they figured it out yet? 😂

[@JustSaying290]

there is a more accurate and simple way my friend. After you cleaned the rice, drain it fully. If you have 2 cups of rice you should have 2 cups of water USING THE SAME CUP you used to measure the rice. No need to estimate. It works all the time

[@Zeverouis]

As a Dutchie, we use a lot of 'snelkookrijst' (fast boiled rice aka parboiled). No plastic packaging but you add the rice, add as much water as you want (it says to add 'a lot') and drain the water once the time is up. Then put the lid on and let rest for 15 minutes. I tasted real rice at the ripe age of 30 and it's so much tastier (just like the time I tried actual good al bronzo pasta, I can't go back to the cheap stuff now).

Water level depends also on the type of rice and it's freshness 😊

[@daisysejera4253]

Yup i only known that when i experience other kind of rice like here in middle east

[@dollyl5596]

That’s true

[@mark030531]

Washing also. Certain types of rice don't need more than one wash, and would even have worse quality if you do.

[@Charlesvonschwenke]

This is the one time I’ve actually seen someone explain it throughly

[@ken8771]

We cook rice in wood on a daily basis because gas is expensive and since wood branches are abundant in our place, it's an obvious choice. The only problem is when cooking something that really needs a stable temperature. And can't forget of course the taste of boiled water ahhahahahah Anyways, been cooking rice since little, I guess it goes for every kids (?) And I noticed that the finger rule doesn't apply to every type of rice. So you need to adjust. If the rice wasn't cook yet but the pot is "hibas na", you need to add more hot water. But on the other hand, if you noticed that it still has much water than it should be, you need to keep some. Take your mug, reduce the water, add sugar, then drink it. We call it "Am-am" and that's a very classic drink in my childhood.

[@mikkyres208]

Agree!!!

[@Mentamousamex]

[@Noname-1695]

Another tip: Dapat tuyong tuyo yung lutong kanin hanggang sa gitna para iwas panis. Yung takip nya nababasa pag hinihinaan na yung apoy, dapat punasan para di mabasa yung gilid. Tas pag malamig na yung kanin, yung pantakip yung strainer ng pasta instead of lid mismo ng kaldero. Mga bacteria kasi lyophilic (eg. Kilikili) kaya nagmu-multiply sila ng mabilis pag basa, which can cause spoilage. Tas yung iba nilalagyan ng suka kasi acid can inhibit the growth of bacteria. Nagtatagal kanin namin kahit 4 to 5 days ng di panis.

[@kish9836]

Wow... Kanon namin, pag naiwan Lang ng Ilang oras mapapanis na 🗿

​@@morinkintz547 Nope. You need a teaspoon lang. It will cook the rice perfectly at mabango pa!

[@morinkintz547]

@@oNiLaDtOrRu ooh I see, I see. Salamat po sa tip! Naalala ko lang rin ginagamitan nga pala ang sushi ng rice vinegar haha!

[@oreo8137]

Another tip. Wag gumamit ng basang utensils (specially yung kutsarang naisubo mo na, it's a big NO) kapag magsasandok ng kanin. Dyan nagsisimulang mapanis yung kanin. Kailangan, tuyo lahat ng gagamitin. Mas tuyo, mas better.

[@misaelvergara]

We don't usually use rice cookers in Brazil! We usually stir fry the rice for a few minutes before cooking, in a regular pan - almost every household cooks rice like this! And believe me, we eat a lot of rice! Hahaha

[@scorpion-lg4ic]

i live in the US and am Irish but I cook my rice this way as well. i was told that the heat "opens up" the rice & this is the best time to add your spices just for this reason. idk if that's true or not but my kids love it

It's a lost skill with the rice cooker, everyone uses now. My fingers are not as pretty but it definitely works

[@axelmolina1031]

One word.... Perfection...

[@daynamaxPikachu]

Using fingers to measure the amount of water needed to cook the rice is really a Filipino way. But this doesn't applied in all of the rice. FYI, to those who are not aware, there are variations of rice in the Philippines, some of the rice absorbs lots of water, some are not. If you think your rice absorbs lot of water to expand, then you need to use a the cup you use to scope the rice grain. And the measurements is 1 is to 2 to 2 1/2. 1 cup of grain rice equals 2 or 2 1/2 cups of water. If your rice doesn't absorbs lot of waters to expand then you can use your fingers, particularly the middle finger. Of course make sure that the rice is evenly spread at least at the top of the rice, and place your finger on top of the rice and measure the water until in between of the two lines in your finger. If you notice that the rice starts to boil, stir the rice to let the water penetrates to the lower parts of the rice, and then lower the fire. And let it cooked slowly.

It also depends on the type of rice. I avoid the "sticky" type like in most fastfoods.

[@DeanThough]

Yeah sticky rice just like Japanese rice.

The finger method is flexible for any pot. But nowadays i feel lazy, that the water i put is simply double the amount of rice. ( Ofc if youre cooking for the whole village) Sometimes more water depending on the rice.

[@Rezzhuanne]

I wonder if this will blow up in KZbin. It's true that you don't need rice cooker to make a perfect rice. Nigel Ng overhyped rice cookers.

[@RapinatorOhYeah]

[@cjlouotaku416]

Sana mag-fufuiyooh si Uncle Roger sa 'yo, ate! 🙏

[@kzers2]

ever since I was a kid, I use the cup method wherein some rice has 1:1 ratio water and rice while some very fluffy rice needs more water (mostly a cup more or half a cup more) it never failed me cooking in an aluminum pot but when you cook rice up to 4 kilos, the technique is very different. slow cooking and sometimes stirring is required, in large gatherings in provinces specific individuals only know how to cook large batches of rice in aluminum extra large pans and/or pots.

[@michiviqz]

I realized that latinos are really similar to filipinos 😂 people in Honduras don't have rice cookers so we all just cook this way

[@vashrazul6986]

But we are masters of rice . We eat rice for breakfast lunch and dinner. In fact we dont consider it a full meal without rice, even if we eat 1 whole chicken. The finger method is only used when we were kids because thats the only way how to teach kids the most effecient way to cook rice, but with age comes familarity, i just look at the water and consider what type of white rice i cook because some rice needs a lot of water to cook

[@michiviqz]

[@ryuichiro.sakuraba]

Using the same technique for the water level for our pot and it works beautifully. However, it only works for our decades old rice pot which is cylindrical (some pots flare or change diameters heading to the top like some soup pots), or that standard rice cooker pot that we now use stovetop as the electric heater element broke haha. Also it does not work with new rice (newly harvested rice) as we use less water to cook it, or else we're gonna have mushy, porridge-like rice (which I kinda like though). This has been also discussed by America Test Kitchen - the 1:1 rice-water finger level + extra half-knuckle or so is for additional water to allow for evaporation so you won't end up with crunchy rice bits. XD Also, gotta love all-clad cookware. Or any heavy cookware in general.

[@mounika7530]

This is the method we use to cook rice in India. We hardly use electric cookers. Some families prefer to take out the extra water once the rice is cooked (they use that water to dip in any freshly washed cotton clothes we wear,for perfect irony texture) and then cook it for 1 to 2 mins on low heat to evoperate the remains of water from cooked rice. And Some prefer to cook the way you showed here. 😊

[@sushamarahman]

As a Bangladeshi I love to see how different cultures have similarities 😍😍😍

[@NouranSAhmad]

Not all rice types need the same water ratio :) as a middle eastern we use basmati rice and short grain(Egyptian rice), but in America you can find jasmine rice, American long grain rice, every type needs more or less water, sometimes even the rice brand matters! Which is why I rarely change the brand I buy.

For people with difficulty in measuring with finger you can add 4 cups of water for 2 cups of rice basically double.

[@carolinafortunata6318]

You could also use steamer. Wash your rice, fill your steamer with water until above 1-2 cm the strainer, heat the steamer, put in your washed and strained rice. cook for 45mins, check your rice, if it still half cooked, pour two glasses of water onto your rice, close the lid, let it cook for another +-20 mins. Some indonesian in rural area still use this method when they cook for big events.

I do it equal measurenent. Same length as the finger dipped from the bottom & same length of water but on top of the rice. I suppose it's the same because you do the 2nd measurement from the bottom of the sauce pan.

I use excess water to cook the rice. Once done, gotta strain the extra water to get rid of some of the starch. Works!
