I’ve tried making white rice three times this week, and it’s a disaster every time. It either sticks to the bottom of the pot and burns, or it ends up looking like mashed potatoes. I’m just following the instructions on the bag, but clearly, I’m missing something.

Do you guys wash your rice until the water is clear, or does that actually matter? Also, is there a specific "golden rule" for the water-to-rice ratio that never fails?

I’m tired of eating mush, please help
