Or for convenience you can get Minute Rice, comes in various types. Also Uncle Ben's and others even have pre - cooked rice, just warm it up, comes in pouches or cups...I keep some pouches of UB's if I need some "quickie" rice: https://minuterice.com/products/ https://www.unclebens.com/rice-products/all -- Best Greg |

I was born with round eyes and curly platinum blond hair and I can still cook rice perfectly in an ordinary pot. Sometimes when I'm feeling culinarilly adventurous I find a left over ramen seasoning packet and substitute rice for ramen noodles... perfectly flavorful rice... sometimes a corn starch slurry and a beaten egg makes it drop dead good! hehe |

Donate unopened bags to local food kitchen. I don't know how to cook anything other than Japanese medium grain rice. White people think it's weird that Asians wash their rice but that's the way I learned it. I also let the rice soak for 20 minutes before cooking. During that time, the rice turns from translucent to opaque. This is done to prevent the inside of the grain from being uncooked. I'll pretty much add water to the rice so that the level is about an inch or so above the rice, regardless of how much rice is in the pot. It doesn't make much sense but that's the way I learned it. My induction range allows me to make perfect, scorch-free, rice. I don't need no stinkin' rice cooker. If I had any other stove, I'd just buy an automatic rice cooker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45wHe9KdmrQ ===== I wash my rice!!! Why do you think it is weird for people to do that?? Oh I don't let it soak though. I will try it next time ![]() Oh yes. I have a rice cooker too ![]() the water with my finger LOL Do you really do that?? ![]() |

We members of RFC should fess up our wrongs and fee ourselves from the torture of shame. OK, I'll start. I had a '71 Ford with whitewall tires. I was parking it and scrapped the whitewall on the curb, marking it. I feel better already. Relieved of the shame, my day is brighter. |

You probably don't need to soak for 20 minutes unless you tend to make rice that's not cooked in the center. I don't like to take chance with my rice though. The finger method was the way my mom taught me back in the 60's. I must confess that I never really understood the concept so I always just eyeball the water levels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53me-ICi_f8 |

Riceland and Mahatma works for me, too. Even the stuff from Dollar Tree cooks up perfect every time. |
