Do you tend to put too much water in your food when cooking it?

I use to years ago. I have been cooking for 45 years, so I guess with age comes experience. I sure hope so...lol

I used to but I just took off the lid and poured it off. I used to use too much water in rice but found that I could put it in a big pot of water and then drain it in the colander.

Hello cream. It is true indeed that I had no idea how much water was needed for cooking at the very beginning. But my father taught me in a very simple way and it works perfectly. My father says that it is enough when the water is just above my hand joint if I cook rice. Now I am experienced in cooking rice and a glimpse of it is able to let me know the amount of water needed.

I always use a lot of water, pasta, rice, anything that can evaporate, you can't add it while your cooking because it won't boil as fast. When I use too little water I find it dries stuff out too fast and everybody is drinking lots of tea or water to balance out the desert with the ocean.

No, I tend to put in too little when cooking. I do a lot of my own experimenting and don't necessarily follow the recipe to the letter. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija
