I recommend using a rice cooker, but it’s also possible to get good results with a regular pot and appropriate heat/fluid levels.
I don’t rinse my rice for the rice cooker and it comes out perfectly fluffy and pleasant each time. I do however stir it a little, such that the grains don’t stick together after having poured in the water.
That’s a myth actually, you don’t need to do it. It comes out completely fine without washing the rice. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3CHsbNkr3c
The rice cooker makes a difference though. They are pretty interesting from a technological perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSTNhvDGbYI
Rinsing also helps remove arsenic: https://health.osu.edu/wellness/exercise-and-nutrition/how-to-reduce-arsenic-in-rice
That has not been my experience. Also I don’t have a rice cooker. If I don’t rinse it, it becomes a big gooey mess.
