When cooking white rice, use a ratio of 2 cups water to every cup of rice. When boiling large amounts of rice, make sure not to cover the rice with more than 1 inch of water. Brazilian rice always requires rinsing and draining before cooking, unlike most rice available in the United States, which has been prewashed. Check package directions. An Asian rice cooker will ensure perfect cooked rice every time.
