Why Use a Rice Cooker?
Rice cookers are surprisingly versatile and perfect for creating easy, low-effort meals. Unlike the stovetop, a rice cooker offers an automated cooking process that’s perfect for cooking pasta evenly without needing constant stirring or adjusting heat levels.
*** Dear friends who use instant pot (I use Duo Mini 3QT)
convert 3/4 cup to 2/3 cup of water/ chicken stock for every 3/4 cup of rice, keep seasoning the same, and cook on low-pressure rice mode with the vent open for 6 minutes. ❤
