Microwave rice cooking
Some time ago I bought a microwave rice cooker. I used it once and
promptly lost the instructions. It looks to be about one quart and has a inner plastic cover over which a lid fits. I have tried to use it several times but I cannot seem to get the ration of rice to water to time right. Any help would be appreciated. I looked on the web but i cannot find a manufacturer's name on the container. Thanks in advance. Bill |

I'd guess 2:1 or 1:1 (water to rice) depending on how you prefer the texture... ~john! -- What was it like to see - the face of your own stability - suddenly look away... |

I do my rice in a 2-quart pyrex measuring pitcher: 1 cup rice, 2 cups water, a little salt, a little oil, pitcher covered with plastic wrap (vented), for about 8-10 minutes at full power, then 12 minutes at 20% power. Worst that happens is that there's usually some boiled-over starchy water to clean off the bottom of the microwave. I haven't cooked rice on a stovetop in years. And years. -- -Barb (www.jamlady.eboard.com updated 10-16-03; check the PickleHats tab, too.) |
