I believe that many people will encounter the problem of overcooking or undercooking rice when cooking in small electric pots. I also encountered the same problem at the beginning, so I first searched for small electric pots to cook rice on the Internet. The method has failed many times. Sometimes the rice at the bottom is mushy and the rice on the surface is not yet cooked. Or the heat is turned down and the rice is not mushy but still undercooked. Or it is difficult to estimate the amount of water, resulting in the rice being too thin. Later, I adjusted the method and finally cooked fragrant and cooked rice.
Ingredients?
An appropriate amount of rice
Enough water

Stir again in the same way after 2-3 minutes. But be sure to pay attention to the boiling water to prevent scalding. You can adjust the heat to low or turn off before stirring, and wait until the water stops boiling before stirring. If there is a lot of foam in the pot during the cooking process, you can temporarily remove the lid and cover it again after the foam dissipates.

Tips
This method is based on the method of cooking with firewood when grandparents were young. It is simple and practical. But be careful not to have too much rice. Otherwise, due to the small capacity of the electric cooker, the rice will not be cooked easily and your hands will be easily burned when the water boils. This method is easy to master after trying it a few times, and you can also control the specific time yourself when the time comes.
