How to cook white rice.

First determine how much rice you need. Then wash your rice, let your rice soak in clean water before draining and putting it in the cooker. Rice expands at least twice its original volume when cooked. The next most important ingredient is water. For white short and long grain rice, add the water at a 1 to 1 ratio. The cooking time in the rice cooker should be about 20 minutes, after it stops cooking and switches to warm, open the lid and stir the rice a bit to help keep it fluffier.
