1. Frying your raw washed rice in vegetable oil, before using it to cook your fried rice or jollof rice, makes it brown a bit, gives it a beautiful flavour and also, makes it not to stick together when cooked.
2. Short grain rice is best used for making tuwo shinkafa, masa, rice flour, while long grain rice is best used for cooking your rice recipes.
3. Your rice can be steamed, simmered, boiled or baked.
4. Burning your rice a little bit, adds lovely flavour to it. This is usually done for a perfect jollof rice taste.
5. To avoid your rice to become soggy (too soft), never overcook it or never cook it will plenty water.
6. Apart from vegetable oil, palm oil can also be used to cook your jollof rice. It doesn't only add good taste to it, but also adds more beautiful red colour to it.
7. When cooking your white rice that will be eaten the next day, it is best to cook it without salt.
8. While making a party rice and you notice that some are done, while some are still strong, use cabbage leaves to cover the top of the rice and cover your pot and in few minutes, all of your rice will be tender/soft and well cooked.
9. If water is too much in your cooking rice, just add sliced bread on it and it will absorb the water from the rice.
10. If you want your rice to satisfy you quickly, eat it with banana. It might sound strange, but it is real.
