How long is it supposed to take to rinse rice? I swear I've put it in the rinse basket and run water through it, agitating it, etc, for like 2 minutes and it just doesn't stop running cloudy water.

Earwicker posted:the point of rinsing it is just to get rid of any possible dirt or bugs in there. you aren't trying to eliminate the cloudiness, that's starch, which comes from the rice itself and will always be there to some extent. Well, everything I've read about rinsing rice specifically says to rinse until the water runs clear.

Having used both a $20 cooker from target, and now a high end zojiroshi, I vastly prefer the zojiroshi. The cheap ones tend to burn the rice if left on warming mode, while I can put the rice in to cook the night before and when I wake up 8 hours later it's as fresh as it was when it first finished cooking. Also, the zojiroshi has settings for different kinds of rice. The cheap ones do all kinds of rice just "alright", while the zojiroshi's rice modes do all of them have really well.

dino. posted:So this is down to your pot size for rinsing rice. Most people use a cute little bowl or a strainer. This is not sufficient. For my 3 cups of rice I make, I use a giant stainless steel mixing bowl. I add plenty of water and swish the rice grains around. I decant it almost completely. Then, I do it again 3 or 4 more times. By the end of that, the water will run clear. M This is what I use: Inomata Plastic Japanese Rice Washing Bowl with Side and Bottom Drainers
