At 2:03, omg his water is still cloudy. Rice won't come out fluffy and detached. I wash by hand until water is 90% clear. I collect that waste water to water my plants in the garden. When I cook basmati rice, I wash and then soak for 45 minutes. Then drain and cook in clean water for just 7 min on the hob. So I save on gas bill. If I do not pre-soak, the cooking can take as long as 15 min. *Question* Do you know how long pre-soaked rice would take in microwave?

I wash and soak the rice before prepping my veg. By the time I am done chopping onions, veg and meat up, it is usually half an hour gone by. Pretty close to 45min I aim for. Then cooking time is halved. Lots of gas saving especially if calculated over a year. :-)

Yes, basmathi needs to be soaked. I find that in the microwave, the water and time needed is the same as unsoaked non-basmathi rice. Basmathi rice or any rice will cook well enough if rinsed 3 times no need till clear. And yes the water is good for plants!

In Asia, we first measure the thickness of the rice after flattening it out in the rice cooker. Then add double depth of water to it. Say like if the rice is 1cm thick, add water until the water level is 1 cm above the surface of the flatten rice. Of course it is done approximately and little bit more or less water only affects the texture. Add tiny bit less water if you like it chewy, add more if you like it soft.

Once it stopped, it was stopped for about 20secs, I added another 6mins., and then the water started bubbling out of the rice cooker onto the microwave's rotating glass table. SMH! I guess I should try adding more time just before it hits 0:00 to avoid the bubble over. Rice is cooked perfectly after 13 and a half mins. in an 1100 watt microwave. Hopefully that helps someone else that might have had this happen to them. Now I've got a lil mess to clean before dinner. SMH!😅
