I was on Amazon and this came up in "you may like" feed. Who knew? Do you pre-rinse rice before cooking it? Is there a noticeable difference in the finished product? We love rice and I am always looking to improve.

I have never rinsed my rice. And, it comes out great. I can make it fluffy, or using the same rice I can make it come out sticky. No rinsing for either.

I use Minute Rice. It's probably considered the Uncrustables of rice.

Not before, but I do afterwards. A dousing of boiling water to get rid of the starch.

My Korean ex-MIL taught me to rinse my rice before I cook it because it makes it less starchy or something. /shrug

Regular white rice and yellow rice no. But jasmati rice, yes. t Don't know why, just habit I suppose.
But, I also admit freely that I completely suck as the maker of rice. It's a crapshoot when I am in charge. I can burn the bottom and the top is still crunchy. The whole thing can turn into a lump of cement. It is the damnedest thing I have ever seen.

No, and I buy the pre-rinsed quinoa so I don't rinse it either.

Quinoa, yes. Rice, no. I rinse after I cook it so it isn't so starchy/sticky.

Yes, I rinse until the water is clear. A friend of mine who is Korean said to always rinse to get the excess starch off and then it will not be sticky. I also rinse quinoa.

Yes I do, to remove any dust or stuff. I also pour boiling water over the cooked rice at the end to remove starchiness. Spores can survive cooking so I never leave rice hanging around at room temperature.

I prefer my rice on the sticky side, so no, I don't rinse it.

Yes I rinse my rice. My mom is from Taiwan and that's what you do! FYI traditional "sticky rice" is made from short grain rice. The length of the grain give different results. ca angel

We always rinse the rice before cooking. My dh is hispanic so we eat a lot of rice and he insists rice must be rinsed until the water is clear.

My Korean ex-MIL taught me to rinse my rice before I cook it because it makes it less starchy or something. /shrug That's what my mom always did, so I do it too when I cook better quality rice. I think it makes a difference. But most of the time, I cook instant rice. No flavor, but no rinsing.
