Dusting and coating do not allow cooking with an excess of cooking water, which is discarded after cooking. When testing different cooking methods, the lowest losses are found when rice absorbs all the cooking water (about 10–20%); only vitamin B12 losses are substantially higher (about 40%). Cooking in an excess of water that is removed after cooking results in higher losses, mainly in highly water-soluble vitamins (e.g., vitamin B12; 50–60%), whereas the losses of poorly water-soluble vitamins, such as thiamine mononitrate, is very small (about 10%). Soaking overnight and cooking the rice for 2 h leads to very high losses even for vitamin A (up to 50%) and vitamin B12.[9]
