How to Cook Rice in a Rice Cooker

Cooking Rice in Your Rice Cooker

You’ll have perfectly cooked, fluffy rice every time when you use a rice cooker. Here’s how:

1. Measure out the rice. Generally, you’ll want to use 1-1/2 cups of rice for every 1 cup of water. For larger batches, use 1-3/4 cups of rice for every cup of water.
2. Rinse the rice. Place the rice in a sieve and rinse under cold water to remove any dust or other contaminants. Make sure to rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
3. Place the rice into the cooker. Place your measured and rinsed rice into the cooking chamber of the rice cooker.
4. Pour the right amount of water. Measure out the appropriate amount of cold water and pour it into the cooking chamber.
5. Set the timer. Secure the lid of your cooker and choose your desired timer setting.
6. Start the cooker. Flip the switch and let the cooker begin cooking your rice.
7. Allow the cooker to finish its cycle. Listen for the switch to click when the cooker signals that it’s done.
8. Fluff the cooked rice. When the cooker is finished, use a spoon or spatula to fluff and separate the now-cooked rice.
9. Enjoy your cooked rice. Serve your delicious rice with your favorite dish, enjoy, and savor the perfect meal.
