There aren't any decent microwaveable rice brands. Don't be lazy and make it from scratch! Do it the right way

Tell that to the initial poster! I use my rice cooker and would never
consider using a microwave. There's nothing wrong with just boiling
water and rice either.

Your both right!!! But...............I'd rather "SET IT AND FORGET IT".......
As I too have boiled, and have a rice cooker,
they both need more setup time and, and cleanup time.
With corningware, just swish it under water with an old face cloth.....

Set it and forget it? Rice cooker! Leave it on when the rice is done. Keeps
the rice warm. When empty, fill it with hot water, let it sit for a while,
then just swish it under water with an old face cloth.....

If boiling water is too much "setup", then you shouldn't be waiting
your time posting here - in a cooking group. Your time would be
much better spent over in alt.food.fast-food and in the Swanson and
Stouffers section of the supermarket.

That's the way we do it, too. Don't forget a steamer if you're making
sticky rice!

How is it healthier than microwavable rice?
