Arroz blanco, crudo

El arroz no perdona errores: fallar en la proporción agua/arroz arruina la textura. Recuerda: 1 taza de arroz crudo rinde unas 3 tazas cocido. Pesar el grano seco es el primer paso fundamental para lograr ese resultado suelto y perfecto de restaurante.

Base para guarniciones, salteados o arroces específicos como risotto (elige variedad adecuada).

Cereales

Rice, oats, quinoa, couscous and similar grains hydrate based on precise ratios. Volume is skewed by kernel size and air gaps. Weighing both dry and cooked grains keeps texture predictable.

Why weigh dry grains? Cup measures change with grain size and packing. Weight guarantees the right water ratio for fluffy, non-gummy results.

Storage & tools

  • Refrigera los alimentos perecederos dentro de 2 horas (1 hora si supera 32°C).
  • Mantén el refrigerador a 4°C o menos y el congelador a -18°C.
  • Enfría la comida caliente en recipientes poco profundos para acelerar el enfriamiento.
  • Usa un termómetro de electrodomésticos para verificar la temperatura.

Mantén seco y hermético; refrigerar arroz cocido y consumir pronto.

FAQ

Should I rinse rice before weighing?
Weigh it dry FIRST. Rinsing adds water weight. However, do rinse it after weighing to remove excess surface starch, which prevents the rice from becoming gummy/sticky.
Does short-grain weigh the same as long-grain?
They are very close in density (approx 185-200g per cup), but short-grain packs slightly tighter. For general cooking, the same weight conversion works, but water ratios will differ.
