What is rice burning?

Rice burning refers to the process of overcooking rice to the point where it becomes dry, crispy and burnt. This can happen if the rice is left on the stove for too long, or if the heat is too high. Overcooked rice can have a burnt taste and smell, and may be hard to eat. Rice burning can also cause a burnt smell to permeate throughout the kitchen and home. To avoid rice burning, it is important to cook rice according to the instructions on the packet, and to keep an eye on it to prevent it from overcooking.
