How do I cook rice? I have a 'tall pan', a circular

Don't cook rice without a lid unless you want a shitty unevenly cooked shitty pile of rice
If anything find a chinois and steam your rice over boiling water on your pot, covering the setup with a damp towel to trap the steam

I cook my rice "the african way" as we say here.
> Boil water
> Put rice
> Wait 10 minutes
> Drain rice with a sieve

No lid. And acceptable rice (I use basmati). You can mock me but it works

>But I dont have a lid.

You don't have tinfoail?

It's not hard. I literally just did it bc this thread made me hungry.

> watery
Don't just remove the water. Put the rice into a strainer and shake it.
> doesn't taste much
I use rice for chinese meals, so it's not a problem for me

wait did you just try anon's "african method"?

because I need to find a way to cook my rice better

alot of the time it either comes out sticky and clumpy or still hard in the middle

I wash it before cooking it but it still gets fucked up

>>9016962
get a rice cooker , it just werks

>don't rinse the rice
>pour twice as many cups of water as raw rice you want to cook, a little less for firmer rice
>bring the water to boil and salt it
>throw a thin pad of butter in the pan with your rice once the water's boiling
>stir the rice until the butter fully disolves
>drop the heat as low as it goes and cover the pot
>walk away for 20 minutes
>come back and stir the rice
>serve

perfect every tiem. I add sriracha after cuz I like a smoky butthole
