Chef David Smiley Problem

Cooking Rice easily and efficiently to the perfect doneness.

Chef David Smiley Solution

Rice Cookers. Authentic Sushi rice is very finnicky and I won’t go into that here but for non-purists the rice cookers I’ll showcase here will work for almost any rice except for things like Paella and Jambalaya where cooking the ingredients in the rice in a specific way are what make the dishes unique.

Chef David Smiley Implementation

Buy a rice cooker and some rice and follow the suggested cooking instructions that come with the cookers.

If you have questions please reply to this post below and Chef David will reply so others can learn too. Or, contact Chef David.
