- Heat from the stock (water) cooks and softens the rice. The rice grains absorb water and swell, making it soft to eat.

- Sensory preference tests are used to evaluate food, highlighting likes and dislikes. This can be used to improve work.
Common misconception
Rice should be stirred when cooked, so ensure it is covered in liquid.
It is best not to stir most rice dishes. Stirring breaks the rice and releases starch, making the rice feel mushy and ‘over cooked’. Risotto is stirred though, as the starch helps the dish have a creamy texture.
