How to cook rice in a pot

I believe that many people use a small electric pot to cook rice will encounter the problem of cooking paste or rice is not cooked, I began to encounter the same problem, first from the Internet to find a small electric pot to cook the rice method, but repeated failures, sometimes the bottom of the rice are paste, the surface of the rice is not yet cooked, or turn down the fire, the rice is not paste, but still not cooked, or it is difficult to estimate the amount of water, resulting in rice is too thin. Then I adjusted the method myself and finally cooked rice that smelled good and was cooked well.

Stir again in the same way after 2-3 minutes. But be sure to watch out for boiling water to prevent scalding. You can reduce the heat to low or turn it off before stirring, and wait until the water doesn't boil before stirring. If there is a lot of foam in the pot during the cooking process, you can temporarily remove the lid and wait for the foam to dissipate before putting it back on.

Tips

This method is borrowed from my grandparents when I was a child to cook rice with firewood, which is both simple and practical. But be careful not to overcrowd the rice, otherwise the rice won't cook easily due to the small volume of the electric pot, and it's easy to burn your hands when the water boils. This method more than a few tries will be very easy to master, the specific time can also be grasped by yourself.
