Tips for a good recipe for baked rice in a fryer without oil

• The last few minutes you have to be very aware of the cooking point of the rice and how it is cooked
• I have used a manual garlic crusher so as not to put it in slices
• I have not added salt because the meat broth already had enough
• I recommend using saffron or turmeric before coloring (I didn't have it, that's why I put it)
• Each rice is different and for this type of recipe it is better to use bomba rice
