Most people make rice by measuring out the rice and the water, putting them into a pot and bringing it all to a boil.
Before cooking rice, we first rinse it using a fine-mesh strainer under cool running water. Then we add the rice to a pot of simmering water, bring it to a second boil and then stir before lowering the heat. After the rice is finished cooking, we let it sit (covered) for at least five minutes (up to a half-hour). No stuck rice! Anything that rests is always more cooperative.
