How to Store Rice
If you are not a very good cook, you may not know that you can cook rice without using any oil or salt. If you do not know how to store cooked rice, the best thing is to buy and cook rice in large quantities and store them in air-tight containers in the fridge. For cooking, a ratio of 1 part rice to 1 part water is the best. It is not necessary to change the ratio from the traditional ratio of 1 to 2 and ½. Remember that rice should not be left too long before it is cooked. Once cooked, do not leave rice out for too long. Because of their porous nature, rice grains absorb moisture from the air. If the rice is left for a long time, it can become dry. To prevent this, keep the rice tightly sealed. If you cannot find air-tight containers, you can also store the rice in a glass jar.
