I think we first started to go to it when it was a trailer or Prefab near Hyde Park.

Strenuously trying to avoid a pun based around deep shag pile.

And failing.

For boiled.. use plenty of water..salted if you like.. so for e.g. we would use a couple of cups of rice to a couple of litres water. Boil until tender and drain/rinse with boiling water.
For fried, I boil for a couple of minutes less, rinse with cold water and drain. Then chuck into a bit of hot oil, usually with an egg or two whisked in.. let the rice fry and heat through while doing whatever else..add a bit of soy sauce, usually 'dark', which seems to separate the grains.
All bets are off with 'brown rice', which can take up to three years to cook.
With Basmati, I rinse it well, soak for 10 minutes and then cook until tender.
For Rice Pudding.. see: Fanny Craddock.

I'm not keen on rice. I think of it as the sort of food you eat because there isn't anything else.

Where's m'coat.....?

Those overseas will be saying the same about potatoes or pasta.

I'll throw in another shout for Zojirushi when it comes to short grain white rice.

Those machines might not be as versatile as say an instant pot or pressure cooker, but the one thing they do, I haven't seen or experienced anything else do better - cooking fluffy short grain white rice with the perfect texture.
