What basic dish is your nemesis?
Mine is Sushi Rice!
Like you need to put in THE EXACT AMOUNT of water, that it can absorb EVERYTHING.
Too little water: Rice BURNED Too much water: Rice soggy
And the difference between too little and too much seems to be like 15 ml.
And it doesn't help, that every recipe on the internet gives a slightly different ratio of Rice to water. And to make matters worse! Most of them use "Cups"!
