Brilio.net - Cooking rice using a rice cooker is often the choice of many people. Apart from being practical, the resulting rice is fluffier and perfectly cooked. But you need to remember, the rice cooker can turn on if there is electric power. So what if the lights go out?
No need to worry, because you can cook rice in a regular pan. Unfortunately, not everyone succeeds in cooking rice using a pan. Generally, people boil rice with a certain amount of water when cooking in a pan. Unfortunately, sometimes the resulting rice is still hard if there is a lack of water or, conversely, it is watery and sticks to the surface of the pan.
To get around this, you can imitate YouTube user Dapur Cinta when cooking rice in a pan. Instead of boiling, this netizen has his own way of cooking rice. Even so, the resulting rice is still fluffy and perfectly cooked, you know. Curious about how?
How to cook rice using a regular pan.
First, wash the rice that will be cooked. To make it perfectly clean, rice can be rinsed 2-3 times. If so, put the rice in a container then add enough water.

Without needing to stir or pour water, cook the rice for 30 minutes. If so, turn off the stove heat. Open the lid of the pan then lift the rice container inside. Once cooked rice can be stirred immediately and then served.
"In just 30 minutes of using this method, the rice is perfectly cooked," said the video owner.
