Thanks for the tips! I love using my Instant Pot when cooking rice, I put equal parts water to rice and it comes out fluffy and perfect! Very fool proof for me 😅
I love steamed rice made in the rice cooker. I can eat rice just about everyday. Everyone else gets tired of it but not me. I add a tiny drizzle of olive oil to mine.
Hi, This afternoon, I prepared the Fried rice recipe you shared and my husband approved!! I added leftover chicken, red onions and frozen mixed vegetables. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and tips on all of your delicious recipe. Watching your videos and listening to you explain how to prepare the meals, it reminded when me when I was a teenager, my step-mom use to do the same. Thanks again
Thanks so much for this tutorial on using a rice cooker. I have been having so much trouble with my first rice cooker and I think I have not bee rinsing enough! I love your channel ❤️.
I've been toying with the idea of getting a rice cooker. I'm glad that you mentioned about the non-stick scratching. I'll definitely look for the stainless steel insert type. Thanks!!
This is very helpful for me, I can never get my rice right in a rice cooker, I think it is because I don't use the cup it came with or rinse the rice lol But I can make pretty good steamed rice on the stove. Lol
i dont know how you ended up in my feed just based on the things I watch BUT damn am i happy you did!!! amazing food, amazing recipes!!!!! you're such a treasure 😀😀😀😀
In my experience (and I cook rice every day), the finger method works for some white rices, but not all. Different brands vary and the age of the rice also has a bearing. When I buy a new bag (even a brand I have used before - even the same brand can vary), I use the finger method the first time. On subsequent cookings, I often have to adjust up or down to get the result I'm looking for.
My rice cooker is inexpensive with a glass lid which always bubbled over through the steam hole. [A real mess] Since rinsing and still using the 2-line in the pot, no overflow and perfect rice. Because of the lid, easy storage after cooling. Thanks again. 💚💙😎
Hi A. !!! I have a rice cooker for years. I have never used it yet. I usually make the Success rice in the bag. I need to get it out and try your recipe!!! Nice video. Stay safe.
@Alma Guillot, if you get a rice cooker, start off by making small amounts of rice so that you may acclimate and learn your cooker's nuances. Gradually, you will get the feel for what is too much water and there's not too much waste. The calderos are made of aluminum and we ingest that black residue we see when we scrub them clean. That stuff leeches into our food. By the way, I make beans, soups, boil pastas and potatoes in my rice cooker. I even warm up my leftovers in there. 🙂
Yes she does, and it's delicious. But not in a cooker .. She toasts the rice and spices in a little oil in a skillet until the rice is lightly coloured, then adds the liquids, tomatoes & veggies and covers. Easy-peasy. Her recipe is my absolute favourite. Check her site; there are two versions as I remember-one updated.
add about a half cup less than what you did and that makes nice stirfry rice, add one cup more than you did and brown rice and that makes nice brown rice.
Dan, I'm with you on your method and measurements. I guess it's personal preference on how wet an individual likes their rice. Also, some rice grains call for more water than others. I've never cooked Korean rice before, though.
No oil or salt? It is the medium grain that gets it so sticky or something else I love white rice from Chinese restaurant never understood how to get it like that lol I have to give this a try
I think my rice keeps getting too soggy even though I follow the instructions. mine also doesn't beep so I think it might just have the lid on for too long??
isela, I think you are correct, I was thinking the same thing about her finger just being on top of the rice so that the water reached her first knuckle joint.
Your finger should be just touching the top of the rice, and the water is at the first knuckle. That's why it matters that the rice level is even across the pot. :)
WOW it looks amazing! Thank you for always sharing great recipes that are easy to follow and delicious. You’ve inspired me to start my own channel and I would appreciate it if you guys could check it out. Have a great day everyone🌷
Once your rice is rinsed you level it out in the pot by kind of shaking the pot a little. Insert your index finger into the rice all the way down until you touch the pot. Pour water into pot until it reaches the first knuckle of your index finger.
Thanks for the tips! I love using my Instant Pot when cooking rice, I put equal parts water to rice and it comes out fluffy and perfect! Very fool proof for me 😅
Ooh I didn't know you could do that, great tip!

Cooking with a rice cooker might seem like a really simple thing but honestly this video has helped me soooo much! Thank you, I’m learning to cook :)

Finally someone teaching the right way of cooking rice
THANK YOU for making videos of basics. That's why you are my favorite!! You are so great to us beginners. 🤗
Steamed rice is very interesting. Thank you for recipe. Great Video!!!

My daughter has one but don't use it. Thanks for the tips going to get it and use it.God Bless!!

Save your rinse water to cook your vegetables. Us I used it for children when the were little for stopping diarrhea.
Thank you for your great video😊
Thank you for posting your clear and thorough instructions!!
2024 - Thank you from Denver, Colorado USA 🇺🇸 ❤
I just got that zojirushi rice cooker and love it! Going to try making arroz con leche in the rice cooker today lol.
Here watching

@@bdbesteverfoodofficial hi
Very cool. I have a rice cooker almost exactly like yours. I'm going to try your method and look at your egg fried rice video. Thank you. 🙏
What bread has that lovely stainless steel pot? Please I have been searching for a ceramic or stainless steel inner pot
I was taught to cook white rice with the good ol' caldero so I find rice cookers make rice too mushy and sticky.

I use my Instant Pot for rice. Stainless steel insert and perfect rice every time.
Never tried a rice cooker before but I definitely know what to do now if I get one!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Soak your rice for 30 mins before you cook it if you have time - it's a game-changer. Super fluffy and won't dry out the next day!
I’m working out hard so I’m only eating healthy, low carbs high protein diet so I like steam rice
Yep, can't beat the finger method. Japanese chef showed me how to do that.
I don’t have a rice cooker. How about stove top white rice. simply mama, do you have a recipe for Mexican white rice.
Yes she does, and it's delicious. But not in a cooker ..
She toasts the rice and spices in a little oil in a skillet until the rice is lightly coloured, then adds the liquids, tomatoes & veggies and covers. Easy-peasy. Her recipe is my absolute favourite. Check her site; there are two versions as I remember-one updated.
Its very much the same. The 3 things to get right are the amount of water, the heat sitting, and amount of time. So experiment and adjust accordingly.
this is very great tips. thanks for sharing
No se si habla español pero me encanto su video 🙏❤️Gracias
Gratias !
Here as usual ♥ 🔥
Yes!!! Thank YOUUUUUU ❤
add about a half cup less than what you did and that makes nice stirfry rice, add one cup more than you did and brown rice and that makes nice brown rice.
For par boiled rice I just do 2 to 1 like ordinary rice but I add a little butter and salt.
I have burned rice the old way so many times before getting my rice cooker from wally mart.
Dan, I'm with you on your method and measurements. I guess it's personal preference on how wet an individual likes their rice. Also, some rice grains call for more water than others. I've never cooked Korean rice before, though.
I’m Laotian and this is exactly how we cook our rice
I go to H-Mart when they have rice on sale. I currently have 4 40-lb bags of medium grain Korean rice 😏
I use the old medium sauce pan and stove top method. Lol. I never thought about using a rice cooker.
I love to watch your video
No oil or salt? It is the medium grain that gets it so sticky or something else I love white rice from Chinese restaurant never understood how to get it like that lol
I have to give this a try
Question do u add salt or is that just when u cook with the pot
I had to laugh. I have an ancient Black and Decker food steamer. It is old, but it does the job.
Can you make the Spanish rice in that rice cooker ? If so what would be the recipe? And where can you but koreen rice at ?
I love white rice!! I love all rice!! BLAZE green MEDICINE YA'LL! ! ♧÷♧
Brand of the rice cooker?
I was just going to comment yesterday and ask if you had a steamed rice recipe. I don’t have a pressure cooker though. 😞
⚘
I think my rice keeps getting too soggy even though I follow the instructions. mine also doesn't beep so I think it might just have the lid on for too long??
So what about the brown rice
😜😜👌❤😜😜👌❤
what brand of korean medium grain rice do you have?
Hi~ Im Korean :)
You can buy any brand of Korean rice. I think there's no big differences.
Nice
For the finger method, do you put your index finger all the way down to the pot? In the video it looked like your index finger sat on top of the rice?
Yes all the way down to the bottom the pot. I think the water distorted how it looked when she did it 😊
isela, I think you are correct, I was thinking the same thing about her finger just being on top of the rice so that the water reached her first knuckle joint.
Your finger should be just touching the top of the rice, and the water is at the first knuckle. That's why it matters that the rice level is even across the pot. :)
With no different settings.... are the directions for sushi rice the same?
YES :) same as sushi rice
Your cooker is pretty fancy. I just use a pot with hot water. I will put black sesames seeds in my rice sometimes.
What if u don't have a rice cooker??
It is more saving money cooking your meals with rice cooker. You can cook anything you want.
Uncle Roger is proud
This video is 8 minutes deep to make rice?
8 minutes my god
WOW it looks amazing! Thank you for always sharing great recipes that are easy to follow and delicious. You’ve inspired me to start my own channel and I would appreciate it if you guys could check it out.
Have a great day everyone🌷
Total failure I am. Can't make that kind of rice.

”Who else been watching “mamá cooks” for more than a year?😇"
(ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍʏ ɴᴀᴍᴇ ʙᴛᴡ)💫
I enjoy your channel, but the audio is a bit too low...or maybe I need a hearing aid...
yo guys can never cook rice this is not rice lol it not seperate it loxed up
I wish you had described this knuckle method more, I’ve never heard of it and don’t know what the h*ck you were doing
Once your rice is rinsed you level it out in the pot by kind of shaking the pot a little. Insert your index finger into the rice all the way down until you touch the pot. Pour water into pot until it reaches the first knuckle of your index finger.
