  • great tips...i never knew how to measure the water to cook the rice...:)

  • It appears that you prewashed your rice before adding it to the cooker. It may help to explain how and why this is done. - rinse the rice until the water becomes significantly clearer t(to perfectly clear) to wash excess starch off the rice and avoid very stick cooked product.

  • This was the BEST TIP! I have a second had rice cooker that has no cup. so I was so confused about the measurements! Kisses to your mum! 

  • Lol why am I here

  • does this method work for every rice cooker? someone please answer this

  • I thought you add oil?

  • The reason for rinsing is to remove excess starch to prevent the rice from becoming too sticky. If the rice is fortified with vitamins and minerals (man made process), then yes, rinsing the rice will wash away the nutrients away. Brown rice should be soaked overnight. The reason is twofold. One is soften the rice, the other is to activate the phytase in the rice that makes it more nutritious.

  • It depends what type of rice people. If its brown rice then yes vitamins and minerals. but if its normal white rice then you need to prewash it because of the starch and such.

  • look it up

  • @wootang7469 Wrong

  • @eva You are not supposed to rinse the rice. That washes away all of the vitamins and minerals from the rice. Nice video
