If you've never cooked rice as a side dish in the oven, give it a try. I use this method of making rice quite often. In the oven, the rice comes out tasty and crumbly, just like it came out of a Russian oven. There are several subtleties that will need to be observed. Everything is in order.

Prepare the rice. The ratio of rice and water (water) is 1:2, you can take a little less water. To do this, measure two glasses of rice into a deep bowl and fill it with very hot water, almost boiling water, stir, and let the rice stand in this water for 10-15 minutes. Then we start washing the rice. The water in it has not yet cooled down, it is hot, so we add cool water so that our hands do not get hot, and wash the rice. We don’t simply drain the water and replace it with clean water, but rather grind the rice with our hands and remove the top layer from it. The water becomes snow-white like milk, cloudy - this is the removal of excess gluten, which makes our rice not crumbly. Drain all the water from the rice.

Place a frying pan on the stove, pour oil into it and heat it up. When the oil is hot, pour the washed rice into it without water.

Stirring, fry the rice. It should lighten and become seemingly translucent, gathering into small lumps. Fry the rice for about 7 minutes, stirring.

The most delicious rice comes out with broth. If you don’t have ready-made broth, the easiest way is to dissolve a bouillon cube in hot water. It already contains salt, spices and dry herbs.

Place the fried rice in an even layer in a heat-resistant bowl and add broth at a ratio of 1:2. I had two cups of rice, which means 4 cups of water are required. Because my broth was already salted, I didn’t add salt, but if you cook rice in water, you definitely need to salt the water, or just sprinkle salt on top of the rice. Gently stir the rice with a spoon, knead the lumps so that the liquid moderately covers all the rice. Cover the pan with foil.

Place the rice in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 35-40 minutes. When you remove the foil, you will see ready-made fluffy rice.

How to cook rice in the oven

Rice is a frequent guest on our table. Each housewife has her own production secrets and signature dishes made from this grain. Cooking rice in the oven is not particularly difficult, but such dishes always have an unsurpassed taste and smell.

Why rice dishes cooked in the oven are good

Rice cooked in the oven always comes out fluffy, unlike rice cooked on the stove or cooked in the microwave. Baking gives dishes a deep aroma and rich taste.

In addition, rice dishes prepared in this way can be considered the most healthy, because during the manufacturing process they use a small amount of fat, spices and oil. Therefore, it is recommended to include all baked rice dishes in the diet and children's diet.

One of the important advantages of rice dishes in the oven is the ease and low production time required. This is a very fundamental point for modern contemporary rhythm. After placing the dish in the oven, there is no need to constantly be in the kitchen and supervise the process.

Unlike cooking rice grains on the stove, rice cooked in the oven never actually burns or escapes from the pan.

Baked rice desserts and casseroles always turn out fragrant, with a rich taste and an appetizing crust.

The disadvantages include increased energy consumption when cooking in an electronic oven. But if you have a gas oven, this drawback is not felt.

What rice dishes can be cooked in the oven?

Rice dishes cooked in the oven can be included on the menu as a real breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can also use them as a snack.

For breakfast, you can prepare a quick casserole of boiled rice and cottage cheese or milk rice porridge with pumpkin.

The first rice dishes that are cooked in the oven are the most rich and fragrant. Perhaps the most delicious of them are kharcho soup and rassolnik.

The second course is prepared from rice with the addition of meat, fish, vegetables, gravy and sauces. In the oven you can cook meat and lean pilaf, risotto, paella, rice cutlets and meatballs and almost everything else.

Using the oven, not only side dishes and independent rice dishes are prepared, but also the insides of pies, kulebyaki, cabbage rolls, and stuffing vegetables. A variety of hot and cold snacks are also prepared.

Secrets of making rice in the oven

For every dish, rice requires different preparation. Sweet and salty casseroles are made from boiled cereals. For pilaf or a crumbly side dish, you need to fry the rice a little in sunflower oil. To make milky rice porridge or a side dish of rice, it is washed 3-4 times with cool water.

Secrets and little tricks:

• To make rice dishes in the oven, it is recommended to use thick-walled cast iron dishes with a lid (cauldrons, frying pans, frying pans), clay pots, and clay pots.
• If the selected baking dish does not have a lid, it can be covered with foil folded in two layers.
• To prevent rice from sticking to the walls of the dishes, they need to be greased with vegetable oil.
• When choosing the size of the dish, you should take into account the fact that when cooked, rice almost doubles in volume.
• To reduce production time, it is recommended to pre-soak the cereal in clean water for 1 hour.
• To make it crispy and give the dish a rich taste, leave the finished rice to simmer in the turned off oven for half an hour.

Making rice in the oven - main methods

Traditional option

The rice is washed until the water is clear. Pour into prepared dishes, fill with water in a ratio of 1:2, add salt to taste. The rice is placed in an oven preheated to 160 degrees and cooked for 40 minutes until the water is completely absorbed. You need to stir from time to time. To add a piquant taste, you can add your favorite spices and herbs.

Combined method

The washed rice is placed in a thick-walled bowl. Fill with water so that it rises 2-3 cm above the rice. Salt is added to taste. Bring to a boil on the stove and cook for 10 minutes. Afterwards it is placed in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees. Prepares within 15 minutes.

Preparatory frying

The washed rice is lightly dried using a cardboard napkin. A little vegetable oil is poured into a hot frying pan and the rice is carefully poured into it. Stirring constantly, fry for 2-3 minutes. Then the rice is laid out in the prepared form and filled with cool salted water in a ratio of 1:2. Cook for 30 minutes until the water is completely absorbed.

Please note that the production time and the amount of water needed depends on the type of rice.

Polished white rice is cooked within 20 minutes after boiling. For one part of cereal you need 1.5 parts of water, broth or milk.

Steamed and brown rice does not require preparatory soaking. Prepares within 30 minutes. For one part of cereal, two parts of water are needed.

Before preparing dishes from wild rice with dense grains, it must be previously soaked in cool water for two to three hours. Cook the cereal for 50-60 minutes.

Rice of the Arbolio, Baldo, and Carnaoli species is not washed before cooking. It boils very quickly, so the dishes are brought to half-cookedness. As the rice cools, it absorbs all the water and becomes fully cooked.

How to cook rice correctly - on the stove, in the oven and in a rice cooker

It is important to use the correct ratio of rice and water, which will depend on the method of preparation: in the oven, oven or rice cooker. It is also correct to cook rice by rinsing it with cool water to remove starch. Choose a manufacturing method based on what works best for you. If you don't want to turn on the oven, use a rice cooker or stovetop.

How to cook rice on the stove

1. Start with 1 cup of uncooked white rice. This will be enough for 4 servings of rice. Rinse the rice with cool water until the water runs clear. Washing the rice is not mandatory, but it will create the least sticky rice.
2. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine rice and 1 3/4 cups water or broth. If using just water, add 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. Bring the contents to a boil, cover the rice and reduce the heat to low to cook for 18 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and leave for 5 minutes.
5. Stir the rice with a fork to release steam. In fact, this is important because the accumulated steam can continue to cook the rice, which will make it soft.

Do not open the rice while cooking. If this is made before you are ready to serve and you are concerned about it getting mushy or sticky, lift the lid, place a folded tea towel on top of the lid, and return the lid to the space. The towel will absorb excess condensation to prevent mucus from forming.

How to cook rice in the oven

1. Preheat oven to 190 ° C degrees. Rinse the rice with cool water until the water runs clear.
2. Combine 1 cup long grain rice and 2 cups water in a heatproof bowl with a tight-fitting lid. Add 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper.
3. With the lid closed, place the dish in the preheated oven and cook for 45-60 minutes. About halfway through, remove the dish from the oven and stir.
4. Remove the dish from the oven and leave the rice covered for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and stir the rice.

How to cook rice in a rice cooker

1. Rinse 1 cup of rice with cool water until the water runs clear.
2. Combine rinsed rice and 1 cup water in a rice cooker and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. If you use salted broth, you will be able to skip the salt.
3. Turn on the rice cooker and set it to the desired time in accordance with the machine's operation manual.
4. Leave the rice for 10-15 minutes after the rice cooker automatically turns off.
5. Stir the rice and serve.

Read the instructions for the rice cooker before using it. Double check the annotations to make sure you are using the machine correctly.

How to make rice as sticky or soft as possible?

Washing the rice before cooking removes the starch and makes it the least tender. If you forget this step, place an open pan on low heat or place it on a baking sheet to dry in the oven.

What if the rice is hard?

Add 1/4 cup of water and cook it over very low heat for another 5 minutes.

What if the rice is burnt?

If the rice is burnt and the burnt taste has permeated the entire batch, there is no way to fix it - throw it away. If it's not toasted enough, add a little hot water to loosen the grains and serve it anyway—the crunch will provide a nice contrast.
