What a difference a rice cooker makes!

Sometime this morning our new rice cooker showed up. I set out immediately to cook a pot of rice. About an hour later it was done. I opened it up, began to stir, and immediately noticed a huge difference in the result between it and our old rice cooker: in the new the rice was not nearly as “wet” and it was much more of an al dente texture.

I put some into a bowl and it seemed more fragrant than with the previous cooker. When I placed some into my mouth it seemed sweeter and definitely had a better texture to it.

The rice itself is the same – it’s from a 50 lb. bag sold at Costco. But how it’s cooked makes a noticeable difference in the end result. The new rice cooker makes a much better rice.
