Cooking rice in a micro

[Bluto]

Ive never been big on rice, the times i eat it is when im out at a sushi place or whatever

most seems to use rice cookers

however, dexter jackson use a regular micro he mix the rice with water in a bowl puts in in the micro for 10 minutes, then puts a lid on and let it be another 5-7 minutes in the micro then its done!

seems as easy as a rice cooker? anyone tried this method?

ive done it before-it comes out ok!
ive cooked oats in micorwave before-fast easy and taste ok!
now i learn we shouldnt cook anyhting in plastic in microwave! somehting bout toxins!

i prefer to cook rice in a pot on my stove! i dont have rice cooker but today i thought of buying one as i ate my rice!

so if u are in a rush-use microwave!

Ive done white rice (12 minutes), Brown rice (32 minutes), whole wheat pasta (8-9 minutes), and oatmeal (1-2 minutes) in the microwave.

Rice in the microwave, both white and brown, comes out great.

Ive tried doing rice in a crock pot (slow cooker) and it didnt come out right.

I only do potatoes in the oven or toaster oven....never the microwave

32 minutes in the microwave for brown rice? I don't want to see your electricity bill.

Buy a rice cooker, it's faster, cheaper and i would also bet it tastes better.

easy way:

1. buy instant brown rice

2.  One cup rice, one cup water

3.  cover and cook in micro for 7-8 mins.  Done.

to me it's fine.  After cooking it, i add some olive oil and a little tabasco.

It's just so easy to cook this way instead of lugging out a steamer or pots and pans..
