The Taunton Press claims to have the recipe for perfect rice. It starts with a soak.
Apart from habit, the reasons for soaking rice are to shorten the cooking time and to allow for maximum expansion of long-grain rice, particularly basmati. A soak also makes the grains a little less brittle so they're less likely to break during cooking.
We {heart} good rice, any Lifehacker readers have a recipe of their own? Thanks to KG for the tip.
