What is the difference between rice cooked in a pan (on the stove) compared to rice cooked in a rice cooker?
It is a matter of personal preference whether you use a pan or rice cooker; both work well. Some cooks find that it is harder to control the temperature when cooking rice in a pan. If the water cooks off too fast the rice won’t be cooked completely. If it cooks too slowly, the rice can be mushy. The suggested amount of water and cooking time varies by rice variety. Always review the cooking instructions before cooking a new blend of rice.
