Rice
There are some things that I just can't cook successfully. My baking skills are getting much better, but only after loads and loads of practice. I just can't do rice. It always ends up hard or mushy or burnt or some other kind of horrible. An inability to cook rice well is horrible because it also leaves out the making of paella and risotto. Speaking of which (and getting to my question), what kind of rice are you supposed to use for risotto? Is it short grained rice and if so, will the kind of rice I use for sushi rice work?
