It was fine when I made it as Mexican rice. But then I made more white rice with just a little butter and some salt. I measured and cooked it correctly. But at 20 minutes, it was not done and there was about 2" of water sitting on top. Perhaps the toasting allows the liquid to seep in better? I don't know. I cooked this last batch for a total of 40 minutes. At that point I gave up. Took the lid off, turned the heat up and cooked off the rest of the water. That was about another 10 minutes. The rice was not as soft as I would have liked, and it was oddly sticky. Long grain rice should never be sticky. Justin ate the rest of it. I got no complaints. But I think the rest of it will go in soup or be made into Mexican rice. As white rice, the finished product left something to be desired. |
