Pro Tips
Always rinse your rice until the water runs clear for fluffy grains.
Let cooked rice rest, covered, for 10 minutes after turning off the heat to finish steaming.
Use a tight-fitting lid to prevent steam from escaping.
For extra flavor, substitute some or all of the water with broth.

Fun Facts
"Rice is the primary staple food for more than half of the world's population."
"Wild rice is actually a species of grass, not true rice."
"Brown rice takes longer to cook because the bran layer acts as a barrier to water absorption."
"Washing rice removes excess surface starch, preventing it from becoming overly sticky (unless you're making sushi!)."
Formula: Water = Uncooked Rice × Ratio (by volume)
