“Why wash rice?” she asked. “To clean it?” “Partly. But the real reason: water removes surface starch dust. That dust is pure amylopectin. Leave it on, and you get glue.” She had him wash Arborio rice until the water ran clear. “Now you’ve removed the sticky troublemakers.”

After boiling 10 minutes and turning off the heat, Nonna Rosa made Luca wait 5 minutes before lifting the lid. “Let the residual moisture redistribute. This is called retrogradation – starch chains realign, and the rice sets perfectly.”

She wrote the formula on the board: Plus: lid on → traps steam → even heating.
