How to cook the perfect fluffy rice and the common mistakes to avoid

Master cooking rice and you will eat well in minutes.

Choose your grain carefully

Choose your rice dependent on how you want to eat. For individual grains and an everyday rice, choose basmati. It keeps well when stored correctly and can be reheated with ease.  Brown rice takes longer to cook, but has a nutty bite which is well suited to stews and casseroles. Sticky rice is best made with jasmine rice and seasoned not with salt, but with vinegar. For risottos, choose arborio rice every time.
