Rice: Not Just Generic
Recently, I switch brands on rice (Smart-and-Final to Uncle Ben's).
Whether they're processed side-by-side or not, I've found that Uncle
Ben's cooks up differently and -- so far -- often doesn't cook up.
Fer example... I was making some Spanish Rice (recipe below) and had a
majority of the rice still dry-n-solid as when I first started.
What other brands do people use?

Spanish Rice
Ingredients:
2 Cups White Rice -- uncooked
3 Cups Water
1 Cup Stewed Tomatoes
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Oregano
1/4 tsp Cayenne
Place all ingredients in covered saucepan over medium-high heat until
the mixture bubbles. Stir and reduce heat. Cook 10-12 minutes,
covered. Stir during cooking to keep the rice from sticking.
