Notes

Rinse Your Rice: Always rinse your rice thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch, leading to fluffier, less sticky rice.
Use the correct rice-to-water ratio: Use the correct water-to-rice ratio specified by your rice cooker's manual or for the type of rice you're cooking. Too much water makes it mushy, too little leaves it undercooked. With this Jasmine rice, the ratio is 1 cup of jasmine rice to 1 ¼ cup of water.
Don't Open Lid During Cooking: Resist the urge to lift the lid during the cooking cycle. Opening it releases steam, which is essential for proper cooking and can result in unevenly cooked rice.
Let it Rest: Once the rice cooker switches to "warm" or finishes cooking, let the rice rest in the cooker with the lid on for at least 10-15 minutes. This allows the steam to redistribute, making the rice perfectly tender.
Do not leave rice on Warm for long periods: Rice can dry out or begin sticking to the pot if it sits on the Warm setting too long after cooking.
Fluff with a Fork: After resting, gently fluff the rice with a rice paddle or fork before serving. This separates the grains and creates a light, airy texture.
