1

Introduce the recipe for making white rice in a caldero for a large family of 11.

2

Measure out 2 cups of rice and explain the water ratio of 2 cups of water for every cup of rice.

3

Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the caldero, mentioning that any oil can be used based on preference.

4

Add salt to taste, advising to start with a little and adjust as needed, warning that over-salting cannot be fixed.

5

Wash the rice thoroughly, mentioning that some people wash it once while others do not, but the creator prefers to wash it twice to remove excess starch.

6

After washing, check the rice for salt by tasting it with a clean spoon, adjusting the salt as necessary.

7

If too much water is added, demonstrate how to remove excess water by scooping it out with a spoon.

8

Once the water level is perfect (indicated by the spoon test), wait for the water to evaporate completely from the caldero.

9

Once the water has evaporated, reduce the heat to number three on the stove.

10

Place a clean plastic bag over the rice, ensuring the printed side is facing down, and cover it with a lid, explaining that the bag won't melt.

11

Set a timer for 25 minutes to check the rice again.

12

After 25 minutes, reveal the finished rice, showing that it is fluffy and perfectly cooked.
