I did test 5, used the exact ratio of water and rice, just doubled! I did mine for 7 mins and 10min release! Came out fluffy, not glupy and slightly al dente! Great texture! Bland unless you add stuff! I added fresh chopped mint, lemon zest, grated parm and fried shallots! Of course salt and pepper! Would make again🙂

In reply to Michele. We grew up eating rice with sugar and milk too. It’s the best!

I rinse and soak my rice. I used 2 cups of basmati and 2 cups of water minus 4Tbs of water. I did 6 minutes and it came out perfect. I may use 6Tbs less water next time so the grains are even more separate, but we really liked it as is also. I love how much quicker it cooks than my rice cooker.

I have made both the Caltrose sticky rice (wonderful!) and the Basmati rice. For the Basmati, I used the method #5 but with 1 1/8 cup of water and it turned out perfect! Thank you for all your hard work figuring it all out for the rest of us!

I went with the #3 and it turned out perfectly. Thank you very much!

This is the rice cooking method I come back to time and again! Such great and consistent results, and it couldn’t be easier. I really appreciate the breakdown of test batches. I’ve found my family prefers somewhere between al dente and moist. After rinsing the rice I don’t adjust the water volume for the amount retained from rinsing, and it turns out perfectly every time! I love to make a big batch and put some in the fridge for fried rice later in the week. Thank you for taking the time to do all the testing 🙂

Omg. I’m 41 and I finally made perfect rice for the first time! How is it this easy? I did test 4 and the rice is chewy and tender. You’ve changed my life, lol. I appreciate you all!!

In reply to Michele. You might add a 1/2 tsp of oil or butter to the pot before cooking to eliminate it drying out so quickly. I have to do this, too, any time I cook rice. The amount is negligible for the water/rice ratio but it does help with a dryer rice end product.
