Calrose is the baseline. Add some premium sushi rice with it (2:1 ratio) and prepare for deliciousness to overwhelm.

I'll have to give sushi rice a try. Which rice is the heavy side of the ratio? The cal or sushi? Also, the Koreans

The barley effect happens when you dump in ice cold water right at the end of the first cooking cycle with brown rice

We have an Instapot. Works great, and for tons of other stuff, too.

Don't bother with gourmet rice. Uncle Ben's will do.

Rice is cheap, even the good stuff. Get some basmati or jasmine.

Just get an instant pot. Works great for rice.

We are particular with our rice, and we use a cheap one. Just buy the good rice.

We got a small Instapot and threw out our rice cooker, steamer, and slow cooker.

What proportions of rice and water do you use?

Tricky

We mix 3 parts Sushi Rice with 1 part Quinoa and do about a 1.5:1 water to rice

Wife was adamant we get a Tiger and 17 years in, I get it. We use it daily.

If you like good rice and cook it frequently, then don't buy a USA rice cooker. You want Asian. Preferably

Zojirushi, Cuckoo and Tiger all are good brands
