Choose and prepare

Our amounts are dry weights. Long grain, round, wholegrain and precooked rice do not always share liquid ratios or timing: identify the product first.

Use in cooking

Pilaf softens aromatics then coats rice before liquid is added. Absorption uses a lid and low heat; boiling in excess water and draining is a different method.

Avoid mistakes

Do not pour in lots of water if the base dries. Test a grain first, then adjust gradually. Allow the recipe’s 5-minute rest in your plan.
