put about 1 small bowl of white rice into a ricecooker... put water in.. rinse a couple of times.. then when you put the ricecooker on set to "cook", do the finger test. firstly the rice should cover...
They become water. That's why you need to train at least thrice a day capt'n ... otherwise you become a gobbley blob of gelatin with nothing to show for it but a delicious jelly-like taste.
