How much water is needed for cooking rice: you can determine the correct volume with your finger
When cooking rice, the amount of water used is important. It is important to keep a balance here.
The fact is that with an excess of liquid, rice porridge will turn out watery.
And with a small amount of water, its rapid evaporation will occur, that is why the cereal may remain partially raw.
Due to this even before cooking, the cook must make sure that the right amount of liquid is in the pan.
At this stage, many housewives face difficulties because of the inability to determine the ratio of ingredients.
But there is no need to make any changes. And to use scales and measuring cups. It is enough to use the "finger method".
What is the essence of the method
Before turning on the fire, you need to dip your index finger into a saucepan with water and rice.
This should be done so that the tip of the finger is on the surface of the cereal.
Next, you need to find out at what level the liquid was. If the water surface is located at the same height as the first knuckle, then everything is done correctly.
If the water is located higher, then the excess liquid must be removed. And if it is lower, then you need to top up the water.
