>does the finger method still work if you're making a lot of rice? I put in 4 cups of rice.It should. Regardless of the rice amount, the rate of evaporation of water should still be about the same. The amount of water over the rice isn't an actual measure of how much water the rice will absorb as much as it's an evaporation timer for how long the rice will cook. Therefore what actually does matter is altitude since water will boil faster at higher altitudes due to lower pressure. If your rice is getting mushy despite through washing and the finger method which in the end is just an approximation, try adding a bit less water a milimeter at a time above the "rice line".
