The first step in cooking the perfect rice is knowing how much rice you want to cook. This amount determines the amount of water that you will need to add as well as the cooking time.
Generally, you add 2 cups of water for every cup of rice. However, note that the amount of water to add is largely dependent on the kind of rice. Long-grain rice typically requires more water than short-grain ones. In your pot containing rice, add water. Bring the pot to a boil while uncovered. When most of the water has evaporated and it is no longer visible over the rice, cover it and lower the heat.
Leave it that way for 15 minutes after which you can lift the lid and stir the rice. Finally, place the lid back on and allow it to cook for more minutes until done. It is best to cook rice with a heavy-bottomed saucepan as this helps prevent the rice from burning at the bottom. A nice tight lid will help trap steam for efficient cooking. When cooking rice through a rice cooker, first check the device for instructions.
Most of them recommend the use of one cup of rice to one cup of water. You might need to do some experimenting and adjusting to get the proper ratio. The benefit of using rice cookers is the fact that they literally do all the work for you. To get the perfect rice with a rice cooker, tinker around and adjust the ratio based on experience.
If reheating rice through a stovetop, simply put it in a saucepan. Cover and put in medium heat for 5 minutes until rice is heated through. If reheating in a microwave, simply put it in a microwave-safe dish and cover. For every cup of rice, cook for a minute on high. However, if it is frozen, cook on high for about 2 minutes per cup. Although eating undercooked rice is not particularly unsafe, it will not be an enjoyable experience at all. Aside from being hard to chew, undercooked rice might be harder to digest than thoroughly cooked rice.
But that all has to happen before you start cooking. If your rice is already stickier than you'd like, you could try rinsing it under cold water to remove some of the excess starch. Other options: you could go the pudding or porridge route mentioned above, or consider turning the rice into a riff on risotto by adding a little stock and Parmesan and stirring until creamy.
When the starch of the rice bubbles up and out of the top of the pot, you're going to have a mess on your hands. Several things that might cause this issue. You may be cooking the rice at too high a temperature, which can creating cloudy, bubbly boil-overs. Or your pot may be too small. Remember, rice needs to expand, plus getting a bigger pot will make it easier for you to cook all manner of dishes. Finally, it could be our old friend starch again: don't forget to rinse your rice before cooking!
The cookbook author's affordable go-to dinner uses any and every vegetable in the fridge. By Julia Turshen as told to David Tamarkin.

Some bacteria strains battle with other forms of bacteria in your digestive system, functioning as probiotics and bringing down the number of potentially destructive bacteria — for instance, salmonella.
However, other strains can be harmful. The strains primarily linked with rice are nausea- and vomit-inducing. When rice is undercooked or not cooked, the Bacillus cereus strain makes cereulide , a toxin that could lead to nausea and vomiting within 24 hours of having consumed the rice. This induced food poisoning comes with an eight to hour incubation period.
After this, diarrhea and abdominal cramps may occur. Ingesting undercooked rice that was thoroughly cleaned before being put into the rice cooker may not cause any stomach or digestion issues. Cooking a perfect bowl of rice needs patience. Rushing through the process would only make things worse and take you back to square one.
