result can also depend on the age of the rice you use. Newer rice needs less water than older rice but, of course, there is
no way of knowing whether the rice you have bought is an older or newer picked grain.
If the rice you cook is too sticky, it's worthwhile trying a batch without rinsing, as some varieties of rice don’t need
rinsing as they have been processed differently. Unlike pasta, rice just isn't consistent and the first batch cooked from a
new purchase of rice can be hit and miss – the rice cooker does mitigate this to an extent, but adjusting the amount of
water is a sure way of getting the rice you like.
