Rinsing rice with tap water instead of bottled saved me $18 a month
I used to buy gallon jugs just for rinsing rice because I thought the chlorine in my sink water ruined the texture, then my cousin in Denver laughed and said to just let it sit 10 minutes before rinsing. Tried it last week with my usual jasmine rice and honestly could not tell the difference, even my picky kid ate it without a word. Anyone else been overpaying for something dumb like that without testing the cheap version first?
Honestly I was the exact same way, bought the fancy spring water for months because I swore it made my rice fluffier. Tried tap water last week after reading this and my wife called me out for not even noticing the difference. Guess I was just paying for peace of mind, not better rice.
