    The instructions on cooking the rice are indeed there. Look at the sentence at the top that I quoted from my original post. You cook the rice in the final simmer. Re-read the instuctions again, carefully. You don't always pre-cook the rice.

    Cooking rice isn't hard but you just can't overcook it. I have to be careful eating rice without teeth. I choke on it easily.

    i need to go back on low carb anyways. i'm getting lots of exercise
    but the gut isnt coming off.

    I'm trying to just eat meat and veggies mainly and I am doing intermittent fasting. To help me, when I get up, I put a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of lemon juice with a little stevia for flavor in 8 ounces of water and drink it. That not only helps regulate my insulin levels but it also is getting rid of fat on my liver (I have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). I try to eat around 2 PM an 7 PM (no eating after 7:30 PM), and it's seeming to work.

    it's hard to eat healthy when prices shot through the roof. i'm spending 20-40 bucks more when i'm buying at the grocery store.

    in this economy it's cheaper to eat junk and drink alcohol.
    I don't really do any fasting (and I don't think that would be healthy for me), but I work 12 hr days and I only have peanutbutter on one slice of bread when at work. And i drink a lot of water.

    No clue why the pounds aren't peeling off but I have lost 10 lbs in the past 2 months and kept it off. it's probably the alcohol that's preventing the
    further weight loss.

    It's so simple.

    1) Rince rice (rub between hands)
    2) Add to pot
    3) Add double the water of the amount of rice

    Turn pot on like 1 or 2 on the dial. Cover. After around 8 mins stir,
    lower heat to simmer and leave until done.

    No special equipment needed works every time, nice and fluffy never had
    an issue.

    I CAN cook, but I don't really have the time to do it.
    also i end up spending more money doing so and I don't want the leftovers.
    I used to cook all the time for my son when he was a kid but he's a grown man now.

    I'm also not picky. I have gone a whole year just eating a meat patty and cauliflower for dinner. I'm not really crazy about food. Furthermore after having covid my sense of taste changed.

    i didn't get food fatigue from it. i would have franks hot sauce on the patty. did you ever get an air fryer?
    if not, get one. and get 5 gal or better. and get silicone inserts and a metal tray for food to sit on.
    that's pretty much all i use to cook now.

    I haven't yet because I just dropped $150 on an old but very solid
    highboy dresser that I seriously needed. The air fryer is next month.
    I know about the metal tray but not the silicon inserts.
