Yes we do it by the instruction and you do get noticeabley better rice if you follow all the steps, we also like to let the rice "rest" in keep warm mode for 10-15 minutes before opening the lid to fluff the rice. If you only just follow the first part of the instructions where you only wash the rice you still get good rice, but not excellent or great. Try instruction method to the letter then try the quick and simple 3 wash and drain and compare, but if you have gone to the expence of buying a Zojirushi i assume you are serious about wanting the best you can get. Local or online asian markets have the best quality rice we have found, the supermarket rice tends to be of questionable age and quality, Just store it properly. The timer setting is a god send you can wake up to fresh cooked rice or come home to fresh cooked rice. Remember your rice cooker can also be used to make other grains/pulses as well as cakes, one pot meals etc, plenty of youtube videos showing the way to do so. If you make extra the cooked rice freezes well, plenty of quides online of the how to type for any needed guidance. Thanks for the video it is the first one i have seen that shows the whole process rather than the quick 3 wash and done method. Take care, God bless one and all.
Thanks ; some companies ; add Vitamins and Iron to the rice . Like ; Safeway brand rice . Rice : is a energy source for the body : but we need Protein to build and repair our structure . And we need a little of fat , water soluble fibers , vitamins , and minerals . Also we need water between the meals . Bless you .
Thank you for a great video, I cook a lot of rice myself but I don't follow this direction. I will try it and see if it makes a difference, after I buy the Zojirushi rice cooker.
You're welcome! I love a good bowl of rice, and never knew this method before getting the Zojirushi. Removing excess starch removes the clumping -at least that's my takeaway. Another tip: if the rice tastes dry, the next time, let it rest in water for 15-30 min before cooking to "moisturize" it. Or add a bit more water instead. Enjoy the rice!
The list price is $181 US Dollars, but currently it’s sold on Amazon for $133. Price may go up and down with sales. This man said the Zojirushi NL-BAC05 here was provided for review from Zojirushi, meaning they gave it to him so he could make videos on it.
