Pin Cook rice in open pot is the age old method followed by our elders but it needs baby sitting as we need to keep checking for the doneness.After the use of pressure cookers this method had been slowly fading away. Rice is the standard staple of India adored as a lunch meal, Biryani, Pulao, Fried Rice, Variety rice, Bath, Vadam and many more. I have been grown up eating rice in this method so am not fond of cooker rice and I can easily find out the difference between both the rice.Though each has its own benefits I love this method may be am used to it so find it easy. I use cooker only for pulao,biryani and such one pot dishes and sometimes for cooking basmati rice for fried rice.

Difference between rice in cooker and open pot
Cooker needs no baby sitting just count the whistles and you are done.But open pot method needs to be checked often for doneness. Cooker rice can be mushy/undercooked at times incase the cooker whistle has issues inbetween.Open pot method we keep checking so there is less chance for mushy/undercooked rice. Cooker is easy for beginners but open pot method takes a little time to get used to. Cooker rice doesn’t let out water if kept for a long time but in open pot method rice lets out water after long hrs(say 8-9 hrs).If we keep rice for noon at 12PM ,the rice becomes mushy around 8PM(incase if you want to reuse it). Maintenance is more in cooker, no maintenance at all in one pot method.Just any container and a lid will do. Cooker rice will not easily break if cooked perfectly, but rice cooked in draining method easily mushes up so we need to be very careful while making variety dishes. I have read and hear people say in draining method the starch goes off so best for weigtht loss but am really not sure of this.And for that reason there are starch free diet cookers being available in market these days.
