@suquili @justnormalkorean @BowsacNoodle You can use a strainer to wash the rice, it might even help prevent the coating on the rice cooker insert from coming off.

The reason Uncle Roger (orange shirt) is having a crisis in the pic is because Jamie Oliver boiled his rice and then strained off the excess water, instead of just using a rice cooker or the absorption method (also what a rice cooker does).
