Fix Mushy Rice with a Slice of Bread

Mushy rice?

Place a slice of bread on top of the rice, close the lid, and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.

The Science Behind

Bread acts like a sponge. Its porous structure absorbs excess steam and moisture from the hot rice, reducing surface wetness and helping the rice become fluffier. This hack works best for slightly mushy rice rather than rice that has been heavily overcooked.
