I read the IiF article, and maybe I'm just a newbie with sous vide, but I don't get how you parcook the rice. Based on this thread and other articles, I'm guessing you soak the rice in water first, at room temp, and then stick it in a bag in the water bath?
- tptacek 12y agoNo, you cook the rice at ~150f or so, then cool it, then cook it a second time in boiling stock on a stovetop.
- eric_the_read 12y agoSo that first time, the rice is dry? I would not have thought to try that at all.
- tptacek 12y agoActually, in the IiF technique, no: you bundle the rice in cheesecloth and cook it in direct contact with the water (this is one of the rare cases (other than eggs) where you deliberately expose the heating medium to the food).
