How to prepare sushi rice without rice cooker

Personally I think rice cookers can be a waste of money and extra item in your kitchen. I've been boiling rice and other grains using kettle without any problems.

As for short grain rice (rice for sushi), there should be few tips to remember:
1. If you boil rice for sushi, then water should be always less amount than rice (around 10% less).
2. While boiling rice, don't open kettle cover (let it steam).
3. Cool rice after adding vinegar with fan, paper leaf, etc.
4. Always control temperature (boil until first bubble, decrease temperature to minimal and keep boiling 15 minutes, then take off from heat and steam another 15 minutes)
5. Mix rice with "thin" spoon, so you don't smash the rice. I use special spoon for rice, but any spoon with thin head will be good.

Hope this helps, enjoy.
