a towel over the lid of the pot Explanation: a towel over the lid of the pot I think just Iranian use دم کنی for cooking rice, so its cultural term. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2013-03-28 20:54:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- to place a dish towel ove the pot or to wrap the lid in a towel or a clean cloth or to wrap a clean dry towel around the lid which will absorb excess moisture |
