Detailed explanation-1: -Lift the lid off a boiling pot tilting away from your body and make sure your face is not directly above the hot pot or pan. This way you control which side lifts first, controlling which side the steam comes out of and which side the condensation drips down.
Detailed explanation-2: -Foil. A double sheet of foil works well as a lid when you need a closer fit than a sheet pan or a frying pan would provide. It’s a little more difficult to manipulate than a lid, but it traps heat and moisture just as effectively.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you continue to lift the lid, the temperature would drop, and the top would be less cooked than the bottom. So you would need to cook it longer for the top to be cooked while the bottom is being overcooked. In addition, the steam that is escaping is the water that you put into the rice.
