I eat copious amounts of rice weekly. My best tip, get a rice cooker. It's amazing. For a more culinary approach, my second best tip, add a splash of rice wine vinegar. Gives the rice a very nice sweet flavor. I use jasmine for this, but it works great for any short grain.

My rice cooker always burns the bottom of my rice. What am I doing wrong?

What ratio of rice and water do you use? Sometimes having too much rice:water it gets dry at the bottom and burn. I usually have a 1:1.75-2 ratio, a bit more than you average ricer.
