Instructions
- 1
准备米饭
如果可能使用电饭煲附带的杯——有些被标定到其自己的杯大小。在细网筛中在冷流动水下冲洗米,用您的手搅拌,直到水运行清晰。排干很好。以1:1水与米比率加到电饭煲碗中。对于非常小的批量或如印度香米或茉莉花的专业米,检查您的电饭煲手册。

Cook in the Rice Cooker
Add rinsed, drained rice to the inner bowl. Pour in water at a 1:1 ratio. Close the lid and press cook. No stirring or adjustments needed — the cooker handles everything automatically. Cooking takes 20–45 minutes depending on model, rice type, and batch size. When the cooker signals it has switched to warm mode, don't open the lid. Let the rice rest and steam undisturbed for 10 minutes. This redistributes moisture for even, fluffy results. Opening early can leave rice unevenly cooked or wet on top.

Rest, Fluff, and Serve
After the 10-minute rest, open the lid and fluff rice gently with a fork or rice paddle using a folding motion — don't stir. Grains should be tender, fluffy, and hold their shape with no hard centers. If slightly wet on top, the rest usually fixes it; next time reduce water a little. If undercooked, add 1 tbsp water, close lid, and sit on warm a few more minutes. Don't leave on warm too long — edges dry out and the bottom can harden. Serve promptly.
