Never Mess Up White Rice Again | Epicurious 101

OR.... just buy a rice cooker. (still gotta rinse)

I usualy set timer to 10 minutes, if i set it to 18 my rice will burn.

USE FINGAAAA

Nice rice cooking presentation

You can save a lot of time and a dish by just rinsing the rice in the mesh strainer. Just keep swishing it around under the water until the water runs clear and you're done.

A half hour for bulk rice??? Ill stick to the bagged minute rice at 10 minutes. Thanks for the information

He make pudding rice 😂

Thank you for making the video. Very well made.

Very similar to how I do mine, only I don't wash it and I never bring it to the boil with the lid off, it takes twice as long to boil and you lose a little of the water due to evaporation. Also, there's really no need to flatten the rice out, it will naturally level itself out as it cooks.

The starch is what makes it yum!

2 cups jasmine rice
3.5 cups water
1/2 tbs butter
Pinch salt

Mix all together, get to slow boil, stir, cover and reduce heat to 1. Set timer for 9ish minutes. Uncover, season to taste.

no matter how many times i try, no matter what i do, it always ends up sticky. i want fluffy, dry rice

WHY is this even a video!?!? Rice is literally the easiest and least complicated thing to make.

Cooking for dummies I guess, huh?

No salt? Hm where have I heard to put salt in rice

Uncle Roger voice:” where the rice cooker where the rice cooker haiyaaaaa”

Use finger! 😂

Bon Ami is not a suitable or safe substance for cooking rice. Bon Ami is a powdered cleanser that is typically used for cleaning purposes, such as scrubbing dishes, removing stains, or polishing surfaces. It contains various ingredients, including feldspar and limestone, which are not intended for consumption.

Where rice cooker?

(Sigh) But I love the stickiness so I don't rinse.

So no salting of the water pretty plain rice such a bad way of showing how to cook rice so over complicated and useless

Lol I think you know you messed up your rice your smile gave it away the rice was pretty sticky not too fluffy

I did not open the lid but I guess I should buy a new pod, as all my rice was burned at the bottom :D

the best way to cook perfect rice is using a rice cooker. the stove top method is not reliable

The rice is kinda mushy though...

I found these instructions on the packet of Premium Jasmine Rice I bought years ago which works for me: 1) Rinse rice. 2) For every one measure of rice add 1& half measures of boiling water. 3) Make sure the level of rice is even by gently shaking the pot you are cooking the rice in. 4) Cook on medium heat until holes appear on the surface of the rice. 5) Reduce heat to low. You may give the rice a quick stir if you like. Cover the pot & let steam for about 5minutes. 6) Turn the heat down until just before it is off. 7) Replace the pot lid & let rest for another 5 minutes. 8) Your fluffy white Jasmine rice is done. Enjoy.
This method is suitable for cooking all types of rice.

Well rice cooker is the best way...

NO SALT?

I just went ahead and bought a Japanese rice maker. Best $300 I ever spent on something for cooking.

That method was poo

It's much easier to put the rice in a wire mesh strainer and rinse until water drains clear. I use the sink sprayer.

Just get rice cooker

Two words and I know the saint of rice uncle roger will agree “rice cooker” 😂

To my taste, that rice looks waaaay overcooked.

White rice 100:
Buy rice cooker
Wash rice in rice cooker bowl until clear water
Fill water up to water line or until first index finger joint
Put rice cooker bowl in rice cooker
Turn on rice cooker with rice inside
Wait
Done

Wow what a diversity. In my country the rice shouldn't stick. Each grain should be long and separate. If the grains are sticking together that means the cook has messed up😅

This guy is definitely a pro and knows what he's saying is true. Great tips he gave. I make rice a lot because my favorite is fried rice. Whatever rice you use the method will vary.

Ficou arroz papa 😢

The rice is clearly overcooked.

Easiest way to make perfect rice. Rice cooker.

I tried this recipe. I made a few mistakes but that was the best white rice I've made in a year. THANKS EPICURIOUS!!

Uncle Roger: Haiyaa, no need for pot. Just use rice cooker

Is it odd if I add a teaspoon or two of apple cider vinegar to my rice with the water? I feel like it seasons it lightly, but I have no idea what it may change in terms of the actual cooking process.

How i cook rice I have to rinse it twice if I have a cup then I measure of 2 cups rice then 2 and 1/4 cup water. If measuring cup isn't available and I just pour rice in a pot. Again, I'll rinse it twice and use my middle finger to measure the water level (the first line of your mid finger). It's like giving finger but in a good way. ;)

A bit too maniacal I think

Loved this. I've started cooking my rice like spaghetti. The only other way the works for me is cooking it in the oven with a 2:1 ratio water to rice. But who wants to turn on the oven frequently? Will try this technique for rinsing the rice; I've been rinsing under running water, but I guess that's not removing the maximum amount of starch.
Hope to see more from Chef Sakaeda; he's really good and fun to watch.

Good journey and good food and good job and nice cooking

A sorry but that rice look awful 😂😂

We are rice vietnam. Good lucks! 👍🤝🛎

Rice is one of the hardest things to cook well consistently. But generally speaking, his method is pretty foolproof. Add rice and water to a pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer with lid on for like 20 min if cooking standard white rice, then take off the heat and let rest for another 15-20 min. The trick really is to know what type of rice you are using, so you can know how much water to add and how long to simmer it for. E.g. brown rice is a completely different method to short grain white rice.
