It wasn't funny when I was asked to cook rice,as usual as a student i rinsed it once nd d next tin fud is on fire,I was criticized(if not 4 ASUU strike) and asked to rinse it three more times it was hard 4 m to do but I accept since I dnt buy d fud wt my money.therefore I throw d question to d hauz,how many times do u rinse rice and what is ur conviction 4 rinsing for dat long??

Reasons behind the 3 times rinse?

OP, You gat time o!
The water for inside pot go rinse and cook am for fire at the same time.

I wonder Õoº°Úº .....in sch then, my roomate cooked his rice without rinsing at all....I no lyk dat..buh I only rinse once....I suppose dats enof to remove the dirt.....

like 6 tymz then soak in hot water...den cook for a short tym nd rinse again...dont ask me y its one of mum's idiosyncrasies.....

I rinse first wt cold water, then parboil, and then rinse again before i cook.
Anti-weevil sprays, dust and excessive starch have 2b washed away.

This got me cracking. I make sure I get rid of all the small stones and the husks residue first before washing it once and then straight to cooking the damned thing. I once had a heated discussion with my mates once in the hostel about how to cook rice, some gave the explanation that there is chemical in it, lol, that there is too much starch, plus all sort of ridiculous explanations. In short am tired joor.

I RINSE my RICE,only TWICE,and it comes out NICE,check my rhymes!

Different strokes for different folks.

Wash twice.The first time before cooking and the second time after parboiling to reduce the starch.

Its good to rinse rice upto 3times or more before cooking. once or twice before per boiling den twice or more after depending on the nature of the rice before finally cooking it.

This helps to rid it of preservative chemicals, dirt, weevils, excess starch( for calorie checkers), and diseases due to exposure in the market.
