If you need to drain your rice you’re using too much water

Note: I'm going to assume that OP is talking about cooking rice in a way that is less common to a lot of people.
Boiling rice like it is pasta and then steaming it is a very common cooking technique in Iran.
This is done with long grain rice and results in very fluffy rice that is separated at the grain rather than more clumped like what you would get from a rice cooker.

Like I said, if you presoak your rice then 2:1 is too much.
Also you can’t make a biryani that way, for instance, Sometimes you definitely need to drain parcooked rice for a recipe.

Reply to LPT: If you are feeling lonely this holiday season, consider volunteering for an organization that helps your fellow humans (or unfortunate animals). If at first you don't like it, try a different organization. It may take a few tries to find out what truly feels good. by ilovemybaldhead
Fostering animals is a great way to help reduce crowding in shelters and you get a companion at home.

Home Depot and Lowes have something similar as well, usually cheaper than pool noodles. Plus their black so they can blend in better than brightly colored pool noodles.

Bro, you do 2 parts water, 1 part rice, then you turn on the heat till it cooks, then you turn it down to a low simmer. Keep the lid on and dont touch it till all the water is gone. Stir it when done let it breath for a monent. Perfect rice. No draining no nonsense

Nobody ever cooked rice before the rice cooker was invented.

Reply to LPT : How to get better teeth. by BigFatChungus1
Continue to brush your teeth, but I used some whitening strips called Gleam and people have commented on how white my teeth are. I used them like 3 or 4 times. Admittedly they are annoying to put on but I have not experienced any damage and the process is painless.

It’s not always a 2:1 ratio… depends on type of rice (and if you presoak the rice first, which you should do for certain varieties), then it’s 1 1/2 : 1.

There is no substitute for good dental hygiene. Brush after meals, use mouthwash, floss, and white stripes really do work.
