    I usually eyeball my rice so I use the finger method which is,

    Rinse and drain your rice in a sieve first

    Add it to the pot and level it off

    Put your index finger on top of the rice and add cold water till it touches your first knuckle

    Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover until cooked

    You can always buy a rice cooker but I think it’s good to learn how to cook without specific instruments, it also cuts down clutter in the kitchen.

      I take a similar approach, but wanted something better for rice, so I bought an aluminum pot with a ceramic coating on the inside as an alternative to a rice cooker. Does a great job with rice and can be used for many other things as it is a normal pot/dutch oven.
