BEST RICE IN RICE COOKER

If you love rice at restaurants but never at home, this recipe is for you. Rice cookers are a great secret to making the perfect rice, but it's the other steps that make it perfect every time. You can use the same rinsing technique and the addition of olive oil and salt for stovetop rice as well. This technique hasn't failed me yet and we eat quite a bit of rice!
