[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rice is literally just rice and water.

What is so difficult about making rice.[/quote]

I make a lot of intricate recipes (handmade pastas, curries, maklouba (rice), tahdig (rice), risotto (more rice) but I find that plain white or brown rice is very difficult to make. Mostly because to make good rice (from observing MIL), you need to the leave the rice the eff alone and get the water ratio correct. There is a lot of trust involved in making rice. Unless I am doing something distracting like following a multi-part recipe, I will fiddle with the rice. I will open it up. I will worry it's not cooking and a bit of water from the electric kettle. Invariably I get dry or overcooked rice because I cannot turn off the stir stir stir in my brain. Good rice is an exercise in impulse control. When I put in in the rice cooker, it comes out sticky.

Yes - this. And sometimes it's sticky and sometimes fluffy and sometimes burned on the bottom. Maybe it is a trust issue like you said! just leave it alone. The baking works everytime for me, but it's getting too hot for me to want to turn on the oven.
