How to make rice?

This time I soaked the rice for 1 hr as per tp's soaking guide (did not soak b4,) rinsed very thoroughly, and did a 1-1.5 rice to water ratio since this is short grain polished rice.
We shall see how this batch turns out. Either way, it's gonna become curry tonight.
Trying to get the rice perfect so I can do Koko Alaisa, because I'd hate to waste the koko Samoa

If it's cooking white rice for 40 min then it's likely soaking it for before it starts the cook cycle
Brown or sprouted rice do take about an hour to cook

Yup, turned out to be a horrible mushy mess once again. Maybe it is the type of rice, but this cooker is designed for sticky rice.
There is almost no individual grains in this batch, just one congealed white mash.
This is what a $200 rice cooker does? Not impressed.

might not be the right setting.
but it might be the rice as well, calrose is not a good rice. go to the korean store, describe what you want, and their guy will sort you out.
which rice cooker is this the model, or just post the manual.

Followed the manual that is thick enough to be for a new car and still messed it up.
I do think it is **** rice though, this stuff was almost falling apart after an hr of soaking. Super bleached and over-polished to little nubs.

with this cooker, you don't need to soak.
take the white rice, use their cup, not the green one, the other cup,
then just wash and add water up to the white rice line for the number of cup used.
then select white rice, also select the hard setting. if it's still mushy, it's the rice.
you can also use the sushi rice line, that should make it slightly harder.
