Cook Rice without a rice cooker

For a long time, I thought I couldn't cook rice without a rice cooker.

"What are you talking about?"

I used a rice cooker during home economics classes in elementary school, and I also used a rice cooker at home.

(We made mushroom miso soup and spinach ohitashi)

Therefore, even when I was a student, I naturally thought, "I can't eat rice unless I buy a rice cooker."

A rice cooker is 5,000 yen.

I'm tired of cooking rice.

If it's bread or noodles, you can eat it right away.

And the consumption of rice will decrease.

In 1962, 118 kg of rice was consumed, but in 2020, the consumption decreased to 50.8 kg, less than half. (From the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries website)

But I have noticed.

Rice is cooked in a pot in about 10 minutes!

What's more, it's tastier than a rice cooker...!?

Did you notice!

I thought that if rice cookers became popular, electricity consumption would increase, and I would be very active.

He might said things like that?

Popularization of electric rice cookers and promotion of nuclear power generation at the same time!?
It was me who personaly felt the cause and effect relationship!!

First, high fire.
When it boils and bubbles start to bubble, reduce the heat.
It's perfect if you let it absorb water for about an hour before heating! A Teflon-coated pan is recommended because it does not burn!

Cook over low heat until the water is gone.

Oh, it will boil over! this timing, lower the heat.

Be careful not to burn the bottom of the pot on medium heat.
(Is it okay to stew like this...!?) Totally OK.

If it is hard,
・Insufficient water absorption time
・Lack of water in the first place
is likely. However, it would be nice to add a little bit of water to wait and see.

When the water is gone, very low heat.
When it finally looks like rice, turn off the heat. (Steam with residual heat for a few minutes)

If you're unsure, open the lid several times, stir with a rice scoop, and take a bite!
←Fire like peas

After eating, if the rice grains stick to the pot, add a little water to the pot, wet the rice grains, and touch them with a rice paddle to remove them.

congratulation! With this, you too can cook rice in a pot.

A 100-yen standing rice scoop is easy!

But I'm worried about microplastics because the tip rubs and scrapes.

I'm thinking about a rice scoop made of silicon that looks like it's going to be cut off.

So please give it a try
