I have heard it said too often to cook rice the right way is all about the rice to water ratios. That is absolutely true. However, nothing is as simple as it looks or seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with the rice<\/a> to water ratio is that these ratios are all over the place. I\u2019ve seen ratios starting from 1:1 to 1:1.5 up to ratios of 1:2 of rice to water. The problem is all these ratios work depending on the variety of rice you choose to cook. The general consensus is that the ideal ratio is 1:1.5 and to some extent a ratio of 1:2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long grain rice would generally need lower ratios as compared to short-grain rice. In all cases whatever the variety of rice they will all need the same amount of water to cook well. To cook rice well is relative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
