I've just found this compact rice cooker has anybody got one, used one or have any opinion's.
I eat a lot of rice but like my food within 30min of finishing my run. Brown rice takes 30-35 min & I thought this might be a good idea!

Very very handy, as I just throw everything in
and its eatable really quick
Also add any flavourings from the start
Works nicely though for just plain boiled rice
Oh what make is yours?
Mine sorts out the timing for itself, just put it on 'cook' mode, but it also has a 'warm' mode, which keeps it warm, but not continueing to cook, untill required
It is definately worth getting one, if you like rice
Rice needs to be well washed tho, prior to cooking
WL, I built an extension on my house designed with running in mind! not worried about a few quid on this.
Besides, sometimes I don't know where I'm going or for how long! :-)
Just measure your required amount of rice in a pan with exactly double the amount of cold water (both rice and water measured by volume in a jug, NOT by weight on scales), bring to boil, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes. Whole process takes less than half an hour.
This works with basmati BTW.
Oh, also if you keep the lid firmly on the pan while you're cooking (without peeking every 5mins) it'd act as a pressure cooker and the rice will actually take less time to cook. Have to experiment with how long as obviously different types of rice have different cooking times.
Now that I've started (you can tell that food is a subject dear to my heart... and stomach!), have you tried couscous or bulgar-wheat? Both are a bit kinda like rice, only don't take half the time to prepare. I've also heard that quinoa is really good too, but haven't got around to trying that yet.
And she has a spare one under the stairs!
It would be total panic otherwise if the current cooker flipped out and there wasn't a spare!!!
No rice, whaddaya mean no rice tonight!
:0)
It also cooks rice perfectly so that you can make egg fried rice! Yum!
Thanks for all the feedback!
MT, I like cous cous, millet & bulgar wheat. The quinoa is in the cupboard but I hav'nt tried it yet.
Not another accessory for the kitchen. At this rate the candy floss maker and popcorn maker might have to be put away !
Heat tiny bit of oil in bottom of pan
One Cup Rice
One Cup water
little salt
all straight to pan.
Cover and seal (with a heavy lid or weighton lid) then leave for ten minutes on low-middle heat (first time you are doing it make sure it is just simmering nicely after a couple of minutes).
Leave this for appx 10 minutes then remove from heat stand for 5 then serve.
not failed yet and it never takes half hour to cook.
Rice maker sounds easier though...

Will def give that a try.
I swear by it as for some unknown reason I can't cook rice successfully on the hob.
I can cook egg fried rice but I don't know if it's any good. I'll eat almost anything!! :0)
What I do is:
Have your rice cooked. It can be hot or cold from the fridge or whatever. But it has to be dry, not soggy.
Heat up the wok, add some oil and wait until hot. Crack open eggs and fry them in the oil. Mixing quickly, keep the stuff moving. Then add your rice, breaking it up in the wok, keep mixing and stirring to incorporate the rice and egg. Add seasoning, a bit of salt, some sugar and some soy sauce. Keep everything moving by stirring. Sometimes, I sprinkle some of a vegetable stock cube to add more flavour. Also at this stage, you can add other goodies to your rice, like cooked shrimps, shredded chicken or shredded roast pork, duck, beef, peas, mushrooms, spring onions, almost anything I guess.
It's very quick and easy.
So that's how I do it!
Hope that helps.
