How to cook rice - perfectly and easily

Recipe video above. Use this recipe for short, medium and long grain white rice. See separate recipes for: jasmine, basmati and brown rice.Stovetop yields the best result for perfect, evenly cooked fluffy rice. This is my default, favourite method. Oven is best for large batch as it cooks more evenly than on the stove (we use the oven at RecipeTin Meals). The microwave method is handy to know because it's fastest!DO NOT RINSE your rice, you do not need to rinse for fluffy rice (read in post for more information). Exception: if you are concerned about cleanness (eg purchased from sacks at markets). If you rinse your rice, reduce the water by 2 tablespoons per 1 cup of rice (to account for waterlogged rice) else your rice will be overly soft and a bit mushy.
