Avoid overcooking, marinate to tenderize if needed, and use high heat for a quick sear or cook at a lower temperature for a gentler result.
Ensure the oven is preheated, avoid opening the oven door too often, and ensure your leavening agents are fresh.
Ensure the pan and oil are hot, avoid overcrowding, and turn the food only once during cooking.
Use the correct water-to-rice ratio, ensure a tight-fitting lid during cooking, and allow the rice to steam after cooking.
Sear the meat before roasting, use a higher temperature to start, and baste periodically.
Use aromatic rice varieties like Basmati or Jasmine, toast the rice in oil or butter before cooking, and season with spices or herbs.
