sticky or clumping
Rice was cooked with too much
water
Use less water when cooking
rice. Once cooked, fluff rice
immediately using a fork to
separate the grains.

crack and become mushy and
sticky during cooking.
Soaking before cooking softens
the texture of rice.
If rinsing is required, rinse the
rice quickly and drain as much
water as possible. Do not allow
rice to soak in liquid prior to
cooking.
Rice is hard or dry
Rice was not cooked with
enough water or it was cooked
with mineral water.
Use more water when cooking
rice.
Soak the rice for a short time
before cooking.
