Everything about Rice :

There are many varieties of rice; for many purposes the main distinction is between long- and medium-grain rice. The grains of long-grain rice  tend to remain intact after cooking; medium-grain rice  becomes more sticky. Medium-grain rice is used for sweet dishes, and for rissoto and many Spanish dishes.

Rice is cooked by boiling or steaming and absorbs water during cooking. It can be cooked in just as much water as it absorbs (the absorption method), or in a large quantity of water which is drained before serving (the rapid-boil method). Electric rice cooker popular in Asia and Latin America, simplify the process of cooking rice. Rice is often heated in oil before boiling, or oil is added to the water; this is thought to make the cooked rice less sticky.
