Could be a couple of reasons. The first would be that you are not cooking it long enough. Another thing you could try doing is cook it at the temperature and for the alloted time that is reccommended, but make sure that you have a tight fitting lid in place while it is cooking. Once the cooking process is over, allow it to sit with the lid on it for an additional ten minutes or so before you remove the lid. Hope this helps.

I assume white rice?? Use a 2:1 ratio of water to rice. After rinsing your rice, put the appropriate amount of water into the rice. Then, bring it all to a boil with the lid off, stirring so it doesn't stick. Once it's boiling, turn the heat WAY down, so it's nearly off, and cover the rice. Don't touch it. Don't lift the lid. Once you have the lid on, let it cook at this low temp for about 25 minutes or so. The water should all be cooked into the rice and it should be perfect!

Depends on what type of rice you are using. There are many types of white rice. Personally, I prefer Basmati, it cooks up nice & fluffy.
Go to a health food store & in the bins of bulk foods, you should be able to find a number of varieties to try.
Some have a slightly nutty taste, some are more sweet (like the Basmati), etc. You can buy just a bit of each one to see what you like best.Just remember to write the names on the bags :)
Merry Christmas!

The present invention includes a method of making a puffed food starch material snack, in particular starch material from grains, having an improved crispy texture and a more aesthetic appearance. The products may be snack chips, cakes, crackers or the like, made from food starch material. Preferably, the starch material is provided primarily in the form of individual kernels or pellets of a cereal grain, such as rice, corn, wheat, rye, oats, millet, sorghum, barley, buckwheat, or mixtures thereof. Quantities of other food starch materials may also be employed as a co-mixed constituent, or the primary source of bulk starch material, for example potato starch material. A quantity of the grain is puffed (expanded) in a manner which forms a snack product of considerable crispiness, lightness, and unique texture to both the mouth and eye.
