Instapots--do I need one? Want one?

If you don’t want to tie up your IP making rice, here’s a simple and easy way to get perfect rice (from a different thread):

That’s where the rinsing part comes in. (Though I suspect you know that.)

Also, the real foolproof method is just to cook it up like pasta. Rinse the rice a couple times and cook it in WAY more boiling water than you need. Like, say, 4 cups or more for one cup of rice. Cook it at a full boil for 12-15 minutes, pour through a strainer, cover it with a towel for five minutes, and serve. You really cannot screw it up this way, and you get nice, individual grains of rice. I know that at least some (perhaps most) of the Indian restaurants around here do it this way.

It’s not quite as set-and-forget as the IP, but it doesn’t need to be watched as carefully and the amount of water used isn’t as critical compared the the normal way of making rice.
