I’ve never understood rice cookers, my wife and I have rice a couple times a week:

1. I add rice, black cardamom, a little butter, water, and a splash of apple cider vinegar to a large saucepan.

2. Turn on high heat until on the verge of boiling.

3. Cover, reduce heat, wait 20 minutes.

I maybe save a handful of minutes by using a rice cooker. I don’t rinse, rice seems to have a better texture without it.




Is the vinegar for the taste? I was told to cook hot for 10 mins then turn off heat and leave the lid on for 10 mins. Usually comes out pretty good. Twice as much water as rice. Rice cookers must be popular for a reason though?
