How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. In Hammer, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
