  1. A big spend of 25 euros on a rice cooker, then all the boxes of cheap loose tesco/lidl rice. Simples. But I eat rice the way culchies eat potatoes every single day nearly soooo

  2. I don’t have to worry about that because I buy the Uncle Ben’s microwave pouches of rice, just to piss off the people who are pretentious about rice.

  3. You’re giving asians a heart attack. What the hell is that thing! Get a rice cooker.

  4. wow lol

    just get a cheap rice cooker and buy rice from the local Asian/Pakistani/Indian store.

    put in the amount of rice you want to cook, pour in water until it’s around 1.5 cm higher than the rice, turn on the cooker and you will have perfect rice when the cooker turns off.

  5. Ha life hack Mac Guver
    Your really only supposed to use a small bit of water the rice should soak I put it in a strainer and pour boiling water to get the starch off of it

  6. Just buy a good rice cooker. Laziest rice you’ll ever cook. They’re not expensive and they pay for themselves when you stop paying for boil-in-the-bag rice.

  7. Buy a cheap rice cooker. Buy boxes/bags of rice not boil-in-the-bag. Add the rice. Hold rice cooker bowl under cold tap and submerge rice and whisk with your fingers, pour out milky white water. Repeat till water is nearly clear. Leave rice in clear water to soak while you prepare the ingredients for the rest of the meal. When ready to cook meal, pour off the soak water and refill to 1cm above the level of the rice or about to the first joint from the tip of your finger. Place bowl back in rice cooker and turn on.

    Perfect, non stodgy individual grained cooked rice every time. (Assuming the recipe doesn’t call for starchy/sticky rice of course)

    (I use long grained white rice for Stir-fry and white Basmati for my Indian Pilau rice.)

    Side-Note: Rice cookers are genius in their simplicity btw.

    Basically a bi-metal tab activates the off switch because the two metal strips stuck together expand at different rates for a given amount of heat causing them to bend when heated up. They don’t bend and activate the off switch when there is still water in the rice bowl because the water and steam carry away the heat meaning the bowl never goes much above 100degC. The bi-metal tab only starts to bend and thus activate the off switch a few degrees above 100degC and the bowl only starts to get that hot once all the water has boiled off and there is no longer any water or steam to carry away the heat from the metal bowl.

  8. Ive always hated the boil in the rice bags…. juat use 2 parts water one part rice, bring to a boil , cover, set to the lowest setting and cook 15 -20 min.. dont touxh the lid….. pwrfect rice

  9. Don’t need boil in thr bag or a rice cooker.

    1 pt rice to 3 pt water in a saucepan with a lid( use a glass lid if you can to avoid peaking)

    Cook on a medium heat for approx 20 mins.

    Light fluffy rice with no draining required

  10. Lads learn to cook rice properly, so easy. 2 and a half cups of water to just less than a full cup of rice. Turn down the ring when there’s almost no water left. Leave it on the cooling hob with the lid off when the water is gone for a few min give it an occasional shake.
