Never Knew That — How Cool!

The Unexpected Recipe Hack That Will Change Your Cooking Game

Sometimes, the best kitchen discoveries come from the simplest tips — the ones that make you stop mid-recipe and say,
“Wait, never knew that — how cool!”

I recently stumbled across one of these game-changing tricks, and I just had to share it. It’s a tiny tweak that transforms an everyday recipe into something even better, tastier, and easier.

The Hack: Using Cold Water to Make Fluffier Rice

Yep, it sounds too simple to be true. But if you’ve ever struggled with sticky or mushy rice, this tip is for you.

Most people rinse rice with warm water or just plain water, but did you know that rinsing rice in cold water—and soaking it for 20 minutes—makes a huge difference?

Why It Works

Cold water rinses away excess starch on the rice surface, which is the main culprit behind that gummy texture we all hate.

Soaking the rice in cold water before cooking hydrates the grains evenly, allowing them to expand properly and cook more gently. The result?

• Fluffier
• Less sticky
• More separate grains
