I've banished the boil in the bag variety and retired my rice cooker, cos I've found Mama's method, tried & true! I've been making rice this way for so long, my apologies for not (thanking Mama, and) reviewing this recipe sooner. I have used this method with white rice and par-boiled with no problems (other than it's hard to put the fork down!) I usually make this with chicken broth in lieu of water, as my family loves it. Thank you. -
Rice needs to be thoroughly rinsed under cold water to remove the dust and dirt before cooking. No exceptions. I use a chinois (a very fine, cone-shaped strainer), shaking vigorously, until the water runs perfectly clear. The white dust (starch) acts like a glue making the cooked rice like paste. Rice is basically a dirty grain that is moved around with big bucket loaders. Unrinsed, you're eating dirt. This is true of all brands, even the most expensive. Also, be on the lookout for tiny stones that can easily break a tooth.

Thanks so much for posting what the rice producers SHOULD have written on the bag! As I make it more and more, I am gaining confidence in the recipe and the rice is getting better!

My beloved rice cooker broke and my husband didn't think I need to go to the expense of
replacing it. I have not had a lot of luck with a pot. The rice was ususally too sticky.
I followed this recipe exactly and it is HEAVEN! Thank you soooo much!!! -
