Okay, what is your make and model of rice cooker? What brand of rice are you using? What have you tried so far?
This one.
I honestly can't tell you what rices I've used. I do know that the latest one is Nature's Promise brand organic brown rice.
I think I found my problem. Other than not rinsing the rice...
What type of measurements are used with the Oster® Rice Cooker and Instruction Manual?
Measurements are in Chinese quantities, not regular ounces. One American cup is equal to 3/4 Chinese cup.
Stupid ass Chinese. It NEVER said this in the print manual.

Seriously, what the hell am I doing wrong? Did I get a defective rice cooker or what? Every time I make rice in it, it sticks to the pot, the rice itself is sticky and soggy, and it just doesn't turn out right. I specifically got a rice cooker because I could never cook it on the stove top right. Is there some special secret to these things?

Why in hell do you need a rice cooker? Just fill up the pot, put the rice in there, let it boil for five minutes less than it says it should, pour out water, let it sit for five minutes with the lid on... perfect rice every time.
I swear you people love to complicate simple shit with technology you don't need.

That's also wrong. As long you boil it pressurized (with lid on), rice comes out perfect. How do you think the people cooked rice in the old days?
Him pouring out water is messed up, but cooking rice on a stove top is fine - which is no different than what a cooker does minus automated timing.

I've neglected the accurate term usage. What you're talking about it right. I assumed JohnOfSheffield's method of 'boiling' as without the lid on (you can't BOIL with lid on or your pot will explode). Yours and my method is correct. I have no idea what JohnOfSheffield is doing by 'pouring out' the water.
If you pour out the water then let it sit in order to be not runny, then u should've never put excess water in the first place, resulting in perfectly chewy, moist, non-watery rice.
Him pouring out water is messed up, but cooking rice on a stove top is fine - which is no different than what a cooker does minus automated timing.
I have *NEVER* boiled rice. I rasie the water to boiling point with rice in it then reduce to simmer. I simmer the rice for proper consistency and flavor. Boiling blows away all of the natural flavors and aromas. Sure you can boil the rice if you are in a hurry, but why?

You should pour it out, it's all loose starch.
Explain to me why loose starch (like floured sugar) that does absolutely nothing for the taste shouldn't be pulled out....
And of course you keep the lid on at all times, why waste time and energy? You pour out the starch and let it sit, even brown full grain rice that i eat releases starch.
Lemme guess, a bit obese?

I've had good luck cooking rice on the stove with the following method:
1 part rice
2 parts water
Boil water and add rice, stir briefly, reduce to simmer and cover for 20 minutes on the smallest burner. Do not remove cover before 20 minutes. If rice is not done just cover for about 5 more minutes or until water is absorbed. I use a medium size sauce pan with cover.
I use Calrose rice mostly and this method makes perfect sticky rice every time for me.
Good luck! :wine:
