What should I do if rice turns mushy, sticky, or clumps together?

If rice is mushy, sticky, or clumping, it was likely cooked with too much water. Stir the rice, close the lid, and leave it on Keep Warm for 10 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Additionally, if rice was rinsed or soaked before cooking, it can crack and become mushy during cooking, so if rinsing is required, rinse the rice quickly and drain as much water as possible without soaking.
