If you buy enriched rice (which if you're American then you probably are) you're not supposed to wash it. There are nutrients added to the outside which get washed off.

It makes it less sticky but also rice has a lot of arsenic in it because of how and where it's farmed. Washing it supposedly gets rid of at least some of it.

[Anonymous No.14688380]

>>14688234
Enjoy your extra arsenic.

>The FDA cites several studies indicating that "thoroughly rinsing rice until the water is clear (four to six changes of water) reduced the total arsenic content by up to approximately 25-30 percent."

Yes, arsenic in rice is considered a problem.

you tards are just using shitty ovens from the 80's, it talkes like 2 minutes for modern ovens to get up to temp and it makes literally no difference in most things if it was arund 170c for 20 sec before it got to the 225c you wanted

[Anonymous No.14688436]

if your oven takes a long time to heat up then you probably want to do that yeah, but "preheating" is basically just making sure you are on the temp the recepe calls for

my sister told me her friend washes vegetables with washing up liquid. very odd.

there are no steps I skip, but I'd do a lot in a lazy way.

one step that seems to be a total meme is washing mushrooms. not sure why you're supposed to just trust mushrooms for some reason. who the fuck knows what they do to them, how they got to you, what kind of stuff is in the frills or whatever you call them. and what the F is the difference anyway? TV chefs make out as if you're ruining them by exposing them to water, but once you fry them the excess moisture is gone in a minute.

Except it isn't. It tastes like said 'protons'. The point of white rice is that it tastes of almost nothing -- which is what people want instead of something that alters the flavour of the dish it's eaten with.

Wrong. Normal people eat rice DESPITE the fact that it tastes nothing; because it's cheap. The absolute state of American cuisine.

[Anonymous No.14688568]

>>14688362
White rice is fortified which means they basically coat it in powdered vitamins. Washing it off does remove that. Not so much of a big deal unless you're only eating rice for every meal though.

I usually eat jasmine or basmati brown rice and I never felt like it was too flavorful for anything.

It's supposed to be within safe limits but I'm still not fond of the idea of consuming extra arsenic. Boiling it like pasta and then draining the water is supposed to remove like 99% of the arsenic though.

That sounds like an awful way to make rice, you’re supposed to add just the right amount for the water to be absorbed.

[Anonymous No.14688675]

>>14688669
why

[Anonymous No.14688693]

>>14688675
Because you don’t want soggy overly sticky rice unless that’s your goal?
If you do it the normal way, adding more water turns it into sticky rice. Also, not rinsing makes it stickier.

[Anonymous No.14688710]

>>14688669
>That sounds like an awful way to make rice
No, it's great

>you’re supposed to add just the right amount for There are more methods to cook rice. This method gives non-starchy rice that does not stick together. It also removes more arsenic than just washing it.

Open pot method for cooking rice:

1. Start with washing rice until water runs clear. Soak for 30 minutes.

2. Boil water, 10 times more water than rice. Add 10 grams of salt pr. litre of water.

3. Add the rice, do not put on lid. Boil until rice is almost as tender as you want it. This goes quick, about 5 minutes with many kinds.

4. Drain through a sieve, put rice back in the pot.

The tricky part is to match how much water you drain with how cooked the rice is. Less cooked, leave more water.

5. Let sit in the pot on low to no heat for at least 5 minutes/until done.

So yeah, this method gives less stick rice, it's very different from adding to much water making it a mush.
