If you gargle with diluted hydrogen peroxide it will whiten your teeth over time. You need to be VERY careful not to swallow it though.

I hope you aren’t thinking people ingest toothpaste. What do you think it is, a nutrition label? Get off your high horse

Flossing can be done right after, it doesn’t spread the acids around the mouth like brushing immediately after does. It’s just scraping the insides of debris and plaque.

Me too. I want my rice sticky and globbed together and almost chewy.

If anything brush before every meal, that way there’s enough time for the acids to break down so you don’t spread them around your mouth. Before breakfast, then before lunch to clean from breakfast, and then before dinner to clean from lunch. Leaves plenty of time in between. That and you start each meal with clean teeth. Just brush before bed alongside it and that’s probably the optimal way to brush.

If you cook rice correctly, there is no water left to drain out.

Bro didn’t realize he had no idea how to make rice until he tried to make a LPT to help others make it not completely suck lol. Also, a cheap rice cooker is a great convenience.

twice at least. Ideally floss and brush after meals (not right after)

Everyone saying OP must be from the Middle East because of the cooking method and that might be right, but every one of you should be boiling your rice for 5 min, draining, then returning it to the pot with hot water and finishing the cooking process. Rice all over the world is great at absorbing arsenic from groundwater and the best way to remove it is parboiling, draining, and then finishing the cook.

People who don’t need extra arsenic in their diet should generally choose parboiled or boil and drain their rice and finish cooking

All of you guys shitting on OP for no reason. There’s more than one method to cook rice. In India and other Asian countries (primarily middle eastern), rice cookers aren’t typically used. Rice is cooked similar to pasta and exactly how OP described. With this method (for Basmati rice), you can guarantee that the rice won’t clump and each individual grain will be separate. In India, most households eat rice with Daal, and you don’t want clumpy or soggy rice in daal. This method is very old and used my millions of people.

Yeah, eating after eating almost defeats the purpose but it's usually sooo worth it.

Hydrogen peroxide messes up the ph in your mouth. My dentist recommended against it.

Probably someone middle eastern. This is decently commonly done in middle eastern countries for long grain rice (like basmati) to make it fluffier and more separated.

Depends on the rice your cooking. This way is used for long grain rice (basmati, etc) in the Middle East to get fluffier more separated rice.

The way OP cooks rice is decently common in Middle Eastern cooking for long grain rice. It makes it fluffier and more separated.
