>>42087Im TVRKARYAN and I can confirm. Rice cookers are for gooks and chinks who base their entire cuisine on rice, yet still don't cook it in a way that has any flavour, or for people who don't know better.
Heres how you do it:
soak your rice in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes
drain the water
put some butter/olive oil in a pot with a lid, and melt it
add the rice into the butter and fry it until it goes see-through
Now add your water and put the lid on top. Stir occasionally to make sure it doesn't stick together.
If you want, you can skip the soaking part and just add more water when adding it into the pot.
IIRC the ratio is something like 1 glass of rice : 2 glasses water in the pot if you don't soak it, and 1 : 1.5 if you do.
Give it a try if you haven't, its easy and very tasty
