Rice Burning Questions

Q: Is it possible to burn rice?

Yes, it is. In fact, it's easier than you think. Just place the rice in a pan, add some water, and turn the stove on.

A: Why do we even call it "burning" rice?

We call it "burning" because, well, it burns. When you cook rice, the heat from the pan causes the water inside the rice to vaporize, creating a sort of... explosion. It's not actually on fire, per se, but more like a controlled... steam-blast.

Q: Can I use my blowtorch to burn the rice?

Uh, no. That's not a good idea. Just stick with the pan, okay?
