Cooking rice in extra water , then straining. It's easy an effective and reduces arsenic

There's arsenic in some rice, particular in fields that were formerly cotton

but that aside this cooking method, sometimes used in India produces a nice fluffy cooked result pretty similar to normal methods and with no burning potential and can be done without measuring water

- soak and rinse rice as usual

- use a lot of water, maybe 3 times the usual amount, it doesn't matter

- cook uncovered, boil high for a few minutes, then turn down to low flame
salt optional. you may have to even add water during the cooking. It should always look somewhat watery
until it's strained and will be beautiful and not watery

- usual cook time but taste 5 minutes before end time and turn off flame if already done


- put a strainer on top of a pot and dump the rice in the strainer and shake the strainer a bit over it
then let it sit for a couple of minutes

- put the rice into a pot and cover for 10 minutes
