Thanks for giving this a go! :) Adding dash of oil when you’re boiling the rice is helpful to keeping the grains separated when it’s done.

I’m out here enjoying long, separated rice every time but most people here think I know nothing about cooking rice, so idk, I have no legitimacy lmao

Sounds amazing! Never tried adding sliced potato but definitely will (I’m not Iranian but it was a good guess).

You parboil it THEN continue steaming it with cooked meat etc in spices. It’s called a biryani… sigh

Like I said, if you presoak your rice then 2:1 is too much.
Also you can’t make a biryani that way, for instance, Sometimes you definitely need to drain parcooked rice for a recipe.

Nobody ever cooked rice before the rice cooker was invented.

It’s not always a 2:1 ratio… depends on type of rice (and if you presoak the rice first, which you should do for certain varieties), then it’s 1 1/2 : 1.

I use different methods for cooking different types of rice - mainly basmati. Some rice like pilau you can’t make in a rice cooker (it involves frying onions) - and there I use a precise absorption method. But boiling, draining and steaming works well for a simple cumin basmati.

I boil it in salted water (with a dash of oil) for about 7 minutes - it should be 80% done then. You can also take out a grain and press it between your fingers, or taste it - it should have a bit of bite to it and break.
