I just put the rice and water in 1:2 proportions, throw some turmeric and salt in it and turn it on.

Vietnamese here, we use this everyday. Before you cook the rice, wash it with water first at least twice. Then water should be around 1cm shallower than the rice. AND DON'T FUCKING THINK ABOUT SEASONING IT. Push the button then let the cooker do the work for you

It varies. That's why they put instructions on the bags of rice.

Season your rice if you find it is bland for whatever reason. Fat (and optionally toasting it in fat) helps a bit with clumping.

Your cooker will figure out how long for you. When all the water is gone, it's done and you can let it steam for a bit or whatever.

Don't wash your rice unless you imported it from some dirty cave in bangladesh.

Bullshit.
Wash the rice until the water is nearly clear. Every time.

>> No.6596772

Half of the conflicts stem from cultural preferences in rice.

Going from observations specifically in Australia. A lot of white people prefer dry rice that falls apart for some reasons because they'll be eating it with a fork or spoon anyway. Whereas the asians (of pretty much all varieties) prefer something that somewhat stays together (also applies to various rice, jasmine and koshihikari alike) so it can be picked up with chopsticks.

Cooked rice already has a mild sweet flavor to it, why ruined it with salt? When you eat white rice with foods, the rice absorb the flavor of the foods and make a balanced feel in your mouth. If you want to make some rice dish like risotto then season it after you cooked it.

Needing? Sometimes people just want things. Are you so impoverished? I guess not, I mean, if you were you'd be sitting in a café, right now, reading the newspaper and talking to your buddies about cooking, but here you are on the Internet, making use of this technological marvel, to tell other people how inept they are for letting a machine cook and keep their rice warm while they prepare the rest of their meal.

Amazing, truly.

I usually just cook plain rice in a pot, then fold it into sauce like pasta. Sauce can be any from simple aglio oilo e peperoncino to something asian-tier like choped pork with star anise, freshly grated ginger, chili and soy sauce.
Aslo here in Russia we dont have ricecookers, only multicookers, which have multiple programs for rice, porridges, slowcooking meats etc.

No one needs an appliance to make rice. But if you make rice often it's useful. Particularly when cooking dishes that go with rice and require your full attention, such as those cooked in a very hot wok, where 30 seconds of distraction can fuck up a dish.

It's a nice little luxury to have the rice cook itself while you're doing prep,then shut itself off automatically when your full attention is on a 400+ degree wok.

wash rice
put however much i want in
purified water filled to ~2cm above rice level (i never do any measuring, haven't needed to)
>my gf's rice steamer
she has a steamer which you have to pour water in the basin and then place a platform and bowl that go inside, but i use the same formula (~2cm water above rice). you can steam multiple things at once so we can make a little dim sum for lunch if we wanted. pic related, shit's nice

I do indeed. No special tricks or gimmicks, either. Just wash the rice, put it in the rice cooker with the water, level it off, close the lid and set it to cook for 12 minutes and wait for it to depressurise. That's it. Makes 5 servings.
