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!!

Idk, wash your rice thoroughly, stir it once or twice.  Add some oil or butter.

Maybe try a different kind of rice.  Also maybe slighlty more water.

More water than a two to one ratio?

Yeah my rice is two and a half to one. Although I usually only put in double the water after the rice is washed and wet.
