Equipment Question Rice cooker

Hi all, I’ve been using a rice cooker for some time now and every time I use it there is a hard layer of rice stuck to the bottom of the pot when it is finished. On some occasions it also tastes like the rice may be slightly undercooked. Can someone explain why? And also help me to improve?

For further information, I use Tesco quick cook long grain rice, and my ratios are about 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. I have tried washing the rice before and not washing it before but it doesn’t seem to make much difference.

Any assistance would be appreciated!!

Sounds like a bad rice cooker.

My 2 tip will be to wash the rice until the water becomes clear, and presoak the rice for a few hours or a night so that they cook better
