| I feel like I just can’t master this despite being a good home cook over all. I use the steamer instead. Wondering how many people are good at this basic skill (rice is completely done, but not burned or dry). |

| No, I use a rice cooker. Fool proof and doesn’t need babysitting. Rice cooker can also cook quinoa, lentils, and other grains. |

| Huh? Boil water. Put in butter or salt if you like. Put rice in for 30 minutes. Cover on low, confirm still boiling. Check if needs longer. I’m a terrible cook this is so easy. |

| Generally, yes. Every once in a while it goes sideways, though. I’ve never used a different method for cooking it. |

| Our rice cooker broke, so I had to learn how to do stovetop again. Cannot get the consistency right in instantpot, have burned or undercooked every attempt. |

| Yes. I always add a bit of extra water. |

I do think type of rice can matter. I never have issues with mahatma rice. I cook acording to the directions on the back. |

I disagree. I cook it a lot so it is easy for me. If someone does not cook it very often it can turn out too mushy or underdone. |

| I only cook rice on a stovetop and that's how I grew up cooking it too. I don't have a big secret. Rice, water, salt, simmer and it's done. |
