Cooking rice before rice cookers were available was never a chore anyone looked forward to. There were so many variables that could ruin the rice †the water could boil over, the rice could burn if forgotten, too much water might have been added to begin with and the result was soupy rice, too little water had been put in and the rice was hard.
