:: General Cooking ::

   Non sticky rice
     When cooking rice, put a tablespoon of oil in the water so grains remain separated.

   Rice always fresh

 

    For rice (especially brown) to remain fresh longer, keep in refrigerator.

   For rice (especially brown) to remain fresh longer, keep in refrigerator.
     Keep using the same proportions of water and rice, and cook over a very low flame.
    :: Basic ::

   Less starch in your rice
      Avoid stirring rice while it’s still on the stove. This crushes the individual grains, releasing starch, and giving it a gummy texture.

   Moisturize old rice
   Older rice can lose some of its moisture, so it needs more water and longer cooking time than fresher rice.
