I still remember the days at the first year of my college in the U.S. The school cafe food was so bad that I just couldn't eat anything other than bananas and apples they offered. So I bought $15 rice cooker from Walmart, and cooked away rice. I'd just eat rice by itself or put some Japanese seasoning (Furikake) on it.

It's been long coming, but I hated rice any rice cooker cooks in the U.S... But I finally found a way to cook rice like Japanese rice cooker does. Even better.

Cook Perfect Rice with Caraway in 3 Steps

I have been a huge fun of Caraway pots and pans. I firmly believe they are the best!

But one thing that I cannot get over is the rice it cooks... It's literally the best rice you could ever imagine to cook.

Caraway's 3qt Sauce Pan can cook up to 4 cups of rice.

What you need:

• Short or Medium Grain Japanese Rice

• Filtered Water

Instruction

Pre-cooking Step (Step 1)

First water that touches the rice matters. So if you can, try using filtered water at any time.

• Submerge rice with water, lightly wash and dump the water right away. (You do not actually rinse so thoroughly.)

• Leave the rice in water for an hour.

Cooking Steps (Step 2-3)

• Cook rice at High Heat or around 390 °F / 200 °C - Cook up to 15 minutes

• Once you start seeing rice boiling, reduce heat to Low Heat or 210 °F / 100 °C - Cook up to 18 minutes
