How do you cook rice?

That's the one I have also.

I only ever cook short grain brown rice in the pressure cooker. It takes around 18 mins to cook.

Last week I tried making it on the stove with extra water and then draining the extra water...it came out like mush. I must have cooked it too long. Guess I will stick with my microwave cooker and die from arsenic poisoning.

^ If you cook it in lots of water it only takes 10 miniutes max.

I tried cooking it the other way too, I don't think it tasted any different although I'm tempted to cook two batches and do a blind taste test to satisfy my curiosity....

Do people do this with pasta too or just rice?

I'll be right there with you, with the arsenic poisoning.

I cook pasta in a lot of water and drain it. (Unless I'm putting it in soup, then I just add a little extra liquid to the soup and cook the pasta directly in the soup.)

I have a rice cooker. That's what I use. Unless I'm making a dish with rice in it, then I'll cook it on the stove. If I'm making soup with rice, I'll just add extra liquid and cook the rice in the soup.

I'm really not too concerned about arsenic. I don't eat rice that often, and we've all got to die of something, anyway.

^This.

I also cook pasta in a lot of water and just drain it. How do you cook it SummerRain?

Can you cook pasta in other ways than by draining it?

If you're feeling creative, I guess you could steam it.
