Perfect video. No mucking about, just good, clear and easy instructions which is exactly what I need. Thanks mate.
I was taught 1 to 2 for rice/water.
So, One Cup Rice and two cups water !
Yep, it's about ratio! I love this trick. My dad grew up in Hawaii and he was taught this way... then taught my mom and me this way.... Rinse, put in pot, add one knuckle of water and cook! :-). Thank you for this reminder.
This should be a recommended video for the sistema rice cooker, he explained it well
Thank you. Out there in the big wide world you are there, and a helpful person who restores my faith in umanity. Great for me - dont know how I have struggled along for so long only to end up with mushy rice.
Thanks for this tip ,it's a great way to get the stew done and not worry about watching the rice.
Best video on TH-cam on the subject if you ask me simple and straight to the point with flawless technique
Thanks heaps
Well done, I love those Sistema microwave cookers, they work so well!
I have a 900w microwave,
I cook it the same way as explained but for "20 min"
Instead of fifteen.....
"PERFECT" LOVE IT.!!
OH....
I ALSO ADD BUTTER.
1/2 STICK TO TWO CUPS OF RICE. AND A HALF TEASPOON OF GARLIC POWDER...IT SMELLS LIKE I'M AT THE MOVIES IN THE APT. A VERY HOT BUTTERED POPCORN AROMA PERMEATES THE WHOLE APT.!!
The finger is the way I learned to make rice!! Comes out perfect everytime!! Love that you used this method for measuring the water!! ❤️
Aerial Kahookele won't work for people with extra long fingers lol😂
Chinese rule of thumb 🤔
Looks perfect I’m gonna buy one 👍👍👍
Nice review. The coating on my good cooker went bad and need a replacement. Definitely will give this a try. Thank you.
Yep! That’s the rice cooking lesson we’re taught here in Hawaii! Aloha!🤙🏻
I got the sistema steamer too. Not tried either yet. Another good tip is mix tilda basmati and laila jasmin together in equal measures.
Great video! Thanks!
Helpful! nice to see a video about cooking and your kitchen is clean!!! Thank you.
Thank you and you're welcome
Nice trick with the finger bro, kudos! 👌
Good step by step guide thank you
Just got one,I'll try this tomorrow,good clear explanation,I especially like the "trick" with the finger for measuring.
Thank you for the positive message.
Let me know how you went with your rice
@@cookingwithoutaclue1516 it was perfect👍👍👍!
Awesome.... glad my video helped you
Im here because my friend gave me microwave rice steamer and i don't how to use☺ ,thanks now
Thank you accidently brought a slow cooker instead of a rice cooker been waiting for the past 2+ hour for it to cook now where near done
I need this for travelling
Flatmate said " ohh you can't cook rice in the microwave the water will splatter everywhere. Ahh theres a lid on top." might get myself one of these.
These cookers work SWEEEET !... I'd never do rice any other way again.
You can keep some rice washing water for the plants. ^^
Thank you
Thank you! I had to cook the rice today and you explained the steps easily. Came out perfect 👌
You are most welcome... glad it turned out perfect.
Thank you very much for the video I just got mine in the mail can't wait to try it I'll let you know the outcome
Awesome.... glad it helped
Gonna try today here in grimsby uk, thanks
Thank you chef
Thanks for the tip
rice, bulgur, buckwheat, pasta- 120 g
cold water- 250 g
power- 600 w
time- 7 min
leave in the switched-off microwave for at least 10 minutes
you can add a spoonful of olive oil to the pasta so that it does not stick together
Thank you do much x
u r the man .thanks great video
I ELGamal .... thank you . I have another top tip coming soon. Just trying to find the time to do it .
yes the finger trick is legit no matter how much rice you are cooking but i want to know how much plastic get leeched into the rice
Spot on thanks
You're welcome
Different size hands, different finger measurements?
👍👍
When and how much do you add the sushi su?
Fingering the rice 😂😂
So good thanks
You're welcome
I have the older decor one, 2 cups of rice and 4 cups of water 17 minutes and perfect every time
Thanks
Can you please tell me how long for Brown Rice and would it be more water given it takes longer < Thank you
I never had good luck with brown rice.
Was that using a Sistema rice cooker product. Thanks
Yes it is
Where did you get your diffuser?
We bought ours years ago now , but I'm pretty sure it came as a complete kit.
What type or what kind of bowl is this and where i can buy this
@michael gonzález , its a sistema rice cooker and it comes with instructions that dont involve fingers :D. 2 part water to 1 part rice, cook 10-12min let rest 4-5min.
Its a great product and something i wish i had disovered many years ago.
Saw that the water on top of the rice before cooking was milky, I suspect that this means there was quite a bit of starch still to be washed off prior to cooking???
I guess depends on how you like it.
We aren't that fussy about it.
What happens if you have small fingers
The rice is not rinsed enough. Wash it thoroughly soak and drain with your strainer 4-5 x to have perfect clear water. Rice is more fluffy if cleaned properly, also less toxins left.
Hello, a stereotypical rice eater here. My question is:
When you are using your finger to measure how much water to use, how do you know if you haven't moved your finger when you're adding the water???
I've tried so many time by now and I have found I have always moved my finger on accident when I add the water to my bowl with rice in it.
Many thanks.
We have not had an issue.. I guess it's just a teething issue that you will just have to keep trying. We have used this method for years and works perfectly every time.
I don't have the microwave rice cooker, I have the rice cooker, I use the same method thanks.
I don't know what wattage my microwave is but if I put something in for 15 minutes, there would be nothing but a black crisp left.
Have you tried the setting on medium ?
i did every cook rice by finger
cooking, without glue.
Can you so cook brown rice in this cooker if so how would you do it ? Thank you 😊
I have never cooked brown rice in that cooker, but my wife has and she said it's a pain... she just buys the microwave rice pack.... one minute and you're done.
Sorry I couldn't be more help to you on this one
Hello , Nice video !!! Just wanted you to know that the clear piece of plastic you put on the rice cooker before you put the top piece with the securing latches is a strainer itsself that’s why it has the holes ( that way you can give your strainer a rest !!)
Hahahaha... thanks I never even thought about it before.
Does the finger trick work for smaller portions of rice?
You know what ..... I've never tried it .
I'll give it a go this weekend and get back to you .
I've got the same rice cooker and usually only cook two portions. I can't get the rice right though. I'll give it a go too.
In Asia, we first measure the thickness of the rice after flattening it out in the rice cooker. Then add double depth of water to it. Say like if the rice is 1cm thick, add water until the water level is 1 cm above the surface of the flatten rice. Of course it is done approximately and little bit more or less water only affects the texture. Add tiny bit less water if you like it chewy, add more if you like it soft.
i like my rice without fingers
Using the same cook ricer from Sistema: 1 cup rinsed rice (91 % entire grain), 500 ml of water, 2 tsp of salt, 12 min full power in the microwave, result yet moist and lightly hard, five more minutes full power, result dry but yet hard
Funny you were flipping OFF your rice when measuring for the water.😂
Did you use that 15 mins to put a shrimp on th barby?
Jack Carter .... shrimp only takes 5 mins
I went to take a dump.
The life for this one is a strainer
At 2:03, omg his water is still cloudy. Rice won't come out fluffy and detached. I wash by hand until water is 90% clear. I collect that waste water to water my plants in the garden.
When I cook basmati rice, I wash and then soak for 45 minutes. Then drain and cook in clean water for just 7 min on the hob. So I save on gas bill. If I do not pre-soak, the cooking can take as long as 15 min. *Question* Do you know how long pre-soaked rice would take in microwave?
Sorry I don't know how long pre-soaked rice would take in the microwave . Time is not a luxury we have much of nowa days, so soaking rice does not fit in with our lives.
I wash and soak the rice before prepping my veg. By the time I am done chopping onions, veg and meat up, it is usually half an hour gone by. Pretty close to 45min I aim for. Then cooking time is halved. Lots of gas saving especially if calculated over a year. :-)
Yes, basmathi needs to be soaked. I find that in the microwave, the water and time needed is the same as unsoaked non-basmathi rice. Basmathi rice or any rice will cook well enough if rinsed 3 times no need till clear. And yes the water is good for plants!
@@ramabananananarama4860 Thank's heaps for that info, I'll use that water from now on for my herb plants .
@Anna Soaked and unsoaked have different cooking times on gas. So it is puzzling if it makes no difference in the microwave.
Just washed and no soaking - 12min on gas + fluff up with fork + 10min resting in closed container
Washed and soaked for 30 min - 7min on gas + fluff up with fork + 10min resting in closed container
But I've got a metric finger. Yours is imperial.
How to Brown rice cook.water messure and time
I never had good luck with brown rice.
That line on the finger depends on how big your bowl is doesn't it
Maybe so... not sure
The rice cooker bowl shown works perfectly.
You have a good point though
Does the steam coming from the rice eventually block the microwave?
Been doing it this way for years and no issues
But without salt and oil???
I guess you could add them if you like.... It's all about how you like it, everyone likes their own way, this is the way I do it.
where can I get this rice cooker please?
I guess that depends where you are. I suggest you Google the sistema rice cooker and their website may tell you where to find a retailer near you . Maybe you can buy them online
Here you go..... i did it for you

@@cookingwithoutaclue1516 You are wonderful. I just placed an order with Amazon. Thank you for your help. It is very much appreciated as I never gave Amazon a thought. My first thought was Woolworths or Coles. Good old Amazon, has everything.
You're very welcome... hope it works for you as well as it works for us.
Thanks for the video
You're very welcome , hope you tried the method and it worked for you .
The rice looks gloopy - likely because you rinsed it once. Indians wash rice 5 times, so the starch runs clear. Make every grain separate
Boiling it takes just as long 😂😂😂😂
I like how this method doesn't take up a burner. It requires even less attention and I can focus on other parts of the dish.
Yep, true, but you have to watch it so it doesn't burn - who has never burnt rice on the stove?? lol You whack it in and walk away. Also, the Sistema cookware, which I LOVE, are an absolute breeze to clean.
@@ryer9000 Its not that hard to look after boiling rice. how many burners do you use??
@@tussockgal never burnt rice in my life. i find cooking pretty easy
Boiling it may take just as long, but how easy is this way.... hit the button and come back when you hear the beep . EEEEZZZZY !
Hope u can get a cooking show
Not sure I have what it takes , but thanks for the vote of confidence .
Hope you enjoyed it .
Any time🤗
I have long fingers
You could have actually washed the rice instead of just throwing water on it but cool gadget anyways
Middle finger! Watch 4:00-4:09
Amount of Rice x 2,25 = amount of water.
Drink a carton of goon before you start, oh wait!!!!!, you already have.
OK, so I just did everything in this video...except my microwave only cook at 6mins. at a time. Once it stopped, it was stopped for about 20secs, I added another 6mins., and then the water started bubbling out of the rice cooker onto the microwave's rotating glass table. SMH! I guess I should try adding more time just before it hits 0:00 to avoid the bubble over. Rice is cooked perfectly after 13 and a half mins. in an 1100 watt microwave. Hopefully that helps someone else that might have had this happen to them. Now I've got a lil mess to clean before dinner. SMH!😅
If you've got a heat setting try turning it down to medium and cooking longer. I have an 800W and put it on medium - takes a bit longer (16 mins) but no real mess
@@TomAndGingeCoLtd1996, thanks for the suggestion, but no heat setting to turn down on this microwave unfortunately.
15 minutes? damn too long for me to wait, i was assuming 1 minute.
Sorry I can't help you there .Will you let me know if you figure out a way to make it in 1 minute ?
@@cookingwithoutaclue1516 It can be done in 2 seconds: th-cam.com/video/1lcM8VF6lng/w-d-xo.html
He's not making Minute Rice. Any truly uncooked rice takes some time to cook.
Middle Finger! Watch 1:40-1:50
Rice? It was very caked, that is not rice is mortar to build castles. The emulsion of water and starch comes out. I see this product for pasta or vegetables
my microwave burns my rice every time
Geeez.... I don't know how to respond to this since I've never come across this problem. All I can say is maybe add a little more water , or change the container you are using. Sorry I can't be more help .
Cooking without a clue Thanks for replying. I've used three different containers so I will try adding more water.
So sorry I couldn't be more help..... good luck
Cooking without a clue I figured out the problem. I was cooking it for twenty minutes. today I cooked it for twelve minutes and it came out good. it seems my microwave is more potent than I thought
Oh so you followed my instructions lol.....
Nice to hear you have it all sorted out now.. thanks for letting me know
Fingering the rice
really bro a finger?
haji pandu Yes he does it right . Most asians without a measuring cup use this method .
haji pandu Lol
Works, makes perfect rice everytime!!
What would you put there?
yes dear,
in malaysia,we also use this method for a new learner.
I hate this finger thing 😢 is it necessary
I suppose it's not really, but it works and use whatever works best for you .
15 minutes? Back to stove
The plus about it is, no need to watch it accidentally boil over....
The best thing is that it has zero crusting.
This is rather obscene. Another finger could have been used for the dip, to prevent certain associations. It could also just be me; the rice looks perfect btw.
I thought the same thing AFTER I did it ... but oh well, if it offends people, I thought they'll get over it .
Happy it helped you
Thats why we r fat😢😢😢
reallyyyyyyyyyy come on man everyones fingers are different that is a crazy way to measure rice and get some taste in there! use chicken stock instead of water.
Thanks for the tip with the chicken stock, I'll be giving that a go.
beef stock will work too. and if you like musrooms I used the little canned ones and chop them up and add to the rice. yum
@@cookingwithoutaclue1516
One more thing. In this world of idiots and evil dictators, people like you show us that humans are by and large helpful and generous in their nature.
Thanks so much for the comment
Ll
2 cups rice = 4 cups water
Microwave for 10 mins then wait 5 mins
Perfect rice
4 cups rice = 8 cups water
14 mins microwave then leave for 5 mins perfect rice
You can wash the rice but definitely not essential
Right, the thing didn't come with actual directions? 4 scoops of rice to ?? scoops of water??? Come on, bro!
Watch the video.... the finger technique works.
Fully explained in the video
I was only able to cook 1 cup rice to 2 cups water. Cook for 15 minutes.
When I tried to increase amount of rice, it never completely cook it.
This is how not to cook rice and cook it un higinicly ... you leave it in the steamer after 12 mins in the microwave for 6min so it cooks correct... silly this way will over cook it and leave it dry.
James Clark you couldn’t have worded that any worse
That transcript is awful and the captions on the video are just as bad 😢
Chi.. measurements with finger !?????
Oh dear, I thought this was a video in how to use the flippin rice cooker not how to rinse the rice😭Please shoot me now!!!
Really? Most people I know from Japan and the islands nearby (including my mother's home island) ALWAYS wash rice - even more thoroughly than what he demonstrates. All that starch is what so many people making rice find makes the rice clumpy, over sticky and not great tasting. Beyond that he did demonstrate how to use the rice cooker.
It’s not the point I was trying to make. I was trying to find a quick answer. It already says on the rice packet to rinse the rice!! I just wanted to know how the rice cooker works. That’s all. I guess I have to make a quick video for people like me that don’t have time for trawling through waffle.
Please cook safe & don't put your finger in the food other people are going to eat. Follow W.H.O. guidelines.
