1. It varies from person to person due to different cooking methods. Personally, I like the softness of the porridge. If you like porridge with clear water and intact rice grains, then boil it for 10 to 20 minutes. If you like the porridge to be mixed with water and very thick with no visible rice grains, then it will take about an hour.

2. But if you want the porridge to be thicker and save some time, you can add some alkali when cooking the porridge. This will make the porridge rotten quickly. You can also freeze the rice in the refrigerator beforehand. Frozen rice will have many small cracks, so it is easy to cook. This kind of rice will become rotten when cooked with porridge, which can save the time of cooking porridge.

3. The time to cook porridge is also related to the cooking tool you choose. If you use a rice cooker, it will take longer than using a gas stove, induction cooker, or pressure cooker. The fastest way to cook porridge is with a pressure cooker. . Generally, it takes at least 30 to 40 minutes to cook porridge in a rice cooker, and it will become rotten after 5 minutes in a pressure cooker. It can be seen that the speed of cooking porridge is also related to the portion. Therefore, when cooking porridge, the cooking method, thickness and portion should be combined to judge the time required to cook porridge.
