3. STEPS ON HOW TO USE A RICE COOKER.

Rice cookers can seem a little intimidating to use. They’re pretty simple and easy once you know the process, though! Here is how it works:

1. Add water and rice (and other ingredients, if using) to the pot.
2. Close the lid tightly.
3. Press cook/warm or whatever button your cooker has for cooking rice – this functions as “on” for modern electric cookers which heat food by induction heating method like tec-61 . Some cookers may have more than one setting if they come with additional features such as soup or porridge settings – follow manufacturer’s instructions accordingly I suggest Manuctric Pot Porridge Type Cooker because its function of porridge and stew and so on other foods in 30 minutes.
4. The cooker will come on when it is done cooking, but this may be before the rice is fully cooked. It’s best to let the pressure release naturally – i.e., don’t attempt to open the lid until you are sure the cooker has stopped making noise and all of the steam/pressure has been released! If you’re anxious, you can manually release by pressing a button or releasing a valve, but do so at your own risk!
5. Open the lid carefully once there are no noises coming from the pot and serve warm fluffy rice immediately or store in an airtight container to keep longer if needed.

4. HOW TO MAKE STICKY RICE IN RICE COOKER?

The following are some tips you need to know in order to make sure your rice is sticky and delicious:

First off all choose high quality jasmine rice with low protein content; otherwise it will cause trouble while cooking like more washing or longer time soaking etc. So try not to use cheap quality rice to make sticky rice.

Add water around 1 cup per ¼ pounds of rice, usually it’s 2 cups for ½ pound. For example if you want to make 1 cup of jasmine white sticky rice then add 2 cups of water in your cooker before starting cooking process.

Now soak your rice at least 30 minutes before rinsing them several times after soaking period. Soaking is mandatory step for making perfect sticky rice always, without soaking time you can’t expect best results right?

Always cook minimum one hour for soft and chewy texture so if you are not in hurry do cook more than one hour also.

Always add salt after fully cooked the rice when you are going to use it in any dish, otherwise if you add salt when cooking then your rice will be sticky after cooling down.

If your jasmine white rice is ready and you want to keep in fridge for hot and steamy texture in next meal or so, wait don’t cool them yet. If you instantly cool jasmine sticky rice the grains will become hard and they may not tender up when steaming hot water poured on top of them.

5. CAN I USE A RICE COOKER FOR STICKY RICE?

Yes, of course you can use a rice cooker for cooking jasmine sticky rice. Follow same method to make your rice perfect and delicious. Let them soaked enough time before going to next process. Once they are soaked perfectly rinse with water many times until the clear water runs out from them, this is another important step while making jasmine white sticky rice right?

After rinsing set aside soaking water because we need that later for measuring how much more water needs. If using electric pot, cook on high heat for 20 minutes, turn off then keep covered. For non-electric pots follow suggested time in instructions manual or at least 1 hour then remove lid and check if it’s cooked properly by pressing one grain between fingers if sticks together then it’s done.

If not cooked, add again hot boiling water ½ cup at time and cook for another 10 minutes or so until fully cooked.

6. HOW TO MAKE STICKY RICE IN PRESSURE COOKER?

Yes, you can use pressure cooker to make sticky rice in much faster than electric cooker because when using pressure cooker the process of cooking is started with high heat then automatically turned to low that helps to tender up your rice in much shorter time period. So to make jasmine white sticky rice in pressure cooker follow suggested method given below:

First soak your rice minimum 30 minutes before starting cooking portion. After soaking period set aside soaking water; we will need that later on for measuring how much more water needs.

Now take rice and rinse with running water 2-3 times, just use your hand to clean them by rubbing gently between fingers. Keep rinsing until the clear water runs out that shows they are perfectly cleaned.

Add 2 cups of soaking water to rice that we reserved before then add ¼ teaspoon of salt or more per cup rice you are using, for example for one cup rice use 1 teaspoon of salt.

Close lid and cook for around 8 minutes on high heat after locking the pressure valve. Then keep cooker aside on cooling process at least 15 minutes more or so after cooking time is finished if you want steamy texture, otherwise turn off stove top immediately after cooking time is done. If using electric pressure cooker then set steam release valve to “sealing” position and follow same process.

If your sticky rice is almost ready and you want to keep in fridge for hot and steamy texture, wait don’t cool them yet. If you instantly cool jasmine sticky rice the grains will become hard and they may not tender up when steaming hot water poured on top of them. Wait 15-20 minutes more or so after cooking time finished then fluff up with fork before serving if needed otherwise enjoy!

7. WHAT DO YOU ADD TO RICE TO MAKE IT STICKY?

Yes, you can add sugar or salt per your taste to make jasmine white sticky rice more tasty. Some like more creamy texture and they add 1 teaspoon of butter to get creamy color and taste too.

You can also follow same recipe for making brown rice; no difference in method or ingredients quantity except make sure you soak brown rice minimum of 8 hours before cooking process and use enough water when cooking ( 2 cups water for 1 cup brown rice) and keep covered until fully cooked.

And keep in mind do not cool them too much after cooking otherwise the grains become hard. They are ready to serve once cooled down.

9. HOW MANY CUPS OF RICE PER PERSON?

It’s up to your personal preference; some like it more some likes less for example one cup per person if having as main meal. If using white rice generally people prepare 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice which is double than amount of jasmine sticky rice recipe so adjust accordingly if you want less sticky taste.

10. HOW LONG DOES RICE NEED TO SOAK FOR STICKY RICE?

It depends on type of rice; for example brown rice needs to soak at least 8 hours before cooking time and jasmine white sticky rice three times faster than brown same like basmati we used in this recipe that we soaked minimum 30 minutes before starting to cook process.

Cooking perfect sticky white jasmine rice is very easy with little bit practice. Here are some tips to follow for making the perfect recipe each time:

Add salt to cooking water or you can omit it at your own preference; some like salty taste others don’t use any salt which is their choice. Use good quality long grain white basmati rice for best result, they are fast cooking and non sticky compare with other types of rice on market today. Strain cooked rice from water immediately if not using right away.

Don’t add cold or room temperature water to hot rice, it can turn sticky rice into mushy texture. Always keep lid on top of pressure cooker when cooking sticky rice. Stir with fork before serving at least once for fluffy result and taste evenly distributed.

Wait until jasmine white sticky rice cools down a bit more 15-20 minutes after cooking process finished to stir them with fork again for fluffier texture otherwise they get hard which is your choice too if you don’t care about that matter.

For electric pressure cooker steam release valve position should be “sealing” which means close the valve before starting timer so no steam escapes while cooking process completed then keep in mind you have to use quick release method for releasing steam after cooking process finished.
