Fluffy rice method

When it comes to cooking rice, using the right method (and the right equipment) can completely change how it tastes and feels. Ever since I started using my Cuisinart rice cooker, rice went from something I tolerated… to something I genuinely enjoy eating. It takes the guesswork out and gives you consistent, fluffy results every single time. The key is not just the cooking, it’s also what you do after it switches off.

Below is my simple, foolproof way to get perfectly fluffy basmati or jasmine rice.

Ingredients

• 1 cup basmati or jasmine rice

• 2 cups water

• Salt (to taste)

  
  

Method

1. Add 1 cup rice and 2 cups water to your rice cooker.

2. Start cooking and let it run until it switches off automatically.

3. Once it switches off, turn the rice cooker off completely.

4. Add a pinch of salt, give the rice a gentle stir, and close the lid again.

5. Let the rice steam for 10 minutes.

6. After 10 minutes, give it another gentle stir.

7. Close the lid and let it sit for a final 10 minutes.

   
   

After this, you’ll have perfectly fluffy, light rice not sticky, not soggy, just right.
