yeah wash rice before you do stuff with it

noodle strainers work just fine, not as much gets out as you'd think.

i mean boiling rice for the 1.5 thing though, i dunno what it's like for other stuff. once it's boiling, go down to low heat and cover it but at a tilt. check for holes every now and again; once you're getting them craters cover it all the way (this is optional)
