Life is short. Eat dessert first.

Cooking rice?

Everytime I boil/cook rice (1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water), there is rice residue on the bottom of the pan. How can I avoid having the rice stick to the bottom of the pan?

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,
Take 1/6 cup of oil with 2 cups of water (+ the additives you like) boil it first, only then add the rice (1 cup), bring it to boil (while stirring), low heat for some 20 minutes and then stop the heating..... but let it stay another 20 minutes.  It won't stick.  Enjoy.
Best regards,

"The doorway to all freedoms is framed with muskets". Charlton Heston 

Sticking is not really a problem. I always have some stick to the bottom. The Chinese save the rice that sticks and deep fry it for a snack;that is if it is a large sheet of rice on the bottom. If you really want it not to stick,spray the pan with "Pam" or some other pan spray. This may help some. Jon

Try using Uncle Ben's Original parboiled long grain rice. I Substitute the water for chicken stock. Use a timer & don't uncover till the 20 minutes is up. (if I make it like this, I don't add any oil or butter)

But almost always....for x-tra flavor, I sautee a little chopped onion/or shallots and minced garlic in a little evoo/butter. then add rice & liquid, cook.  When done  I add a handful of fresh grated parm. S+P to taste.

Perfect everytime! Enjoy!  : )

I soak my rice in water and a bit of lemon juice for a hour or so before cooking. Wash the rice before cooking it helps prevent the rice from sticking.
