Long-grain white rice is rinsed before cooking to remove excess starch. Removing the starch makes the rice cook more evenly and it makes the cooked rice less sticky.
In the U.S., if you rinse the rice, you are rinsing away vitamins, minerals, and iron. Rice is fortified with vitamins, minerals and iron that is applied on the rice. It's up to you whether you want to wash your rice before cooking it.
In India we usually see that the rice is mixed with some acid boric in order to prevent the rice from insects that causes the grains to destroy so we have to remove this powder forwhich we have to wash the rice before cooking

Older Rival rice cooker steamer how exactly is it used and how long does it take?
The older Rival rice cooker steamer should have a base, a lid, steamer basket, and rice bowl. To cook rice, fill center basin of base with water. Place the rice bowl on basin. Add rice and water as follows. For white rice add water in a 1:1 ratio to rice plus 1/2 cup. For brown rice add water in a 1:1 ratio to rice plus 3/4 cup. Examples: 1 cup white rice, 1-1/2 cup water; 2 cups brown rice, 2-3/4 cups water. Put lid on and plug in and in about 50 minutes you should have delicious rice. I'm not sure how to use the steamer basket. The steamer basket is really easy. Just add water to the basin, place steamer rack on top add your favorite vegetables to the basket, put the lid and plug it in. I have done cauliflower, broccoli, carrots (they stained the basket, but bleach took out the stains), green beans, and everything comes out perfectly cooked in about 20 to 30 minutes. Some vegetables take a little longer, for example carrots and green beans.
