Once it starts to boil and the water begins to dry down exposing the rice, turn it down on low and put foil over the top and then put the pot cover on it. Let it like that for about 1/2 hour. Come back stir it with a fork and take a couple grains and try it to see if it's cooked. If it isn't, give it another 5-10 minutes.

Y’all just don’t read the directions on how to cook rice lol. Some rice take 15 mins some take up to 45.

 

[sonoftony]

I remember overcooking my rice the first few times before I got it right

 

[plansb]

I have found that different grains (e.g., basmati, white, brown, etc.) and even different brands that are the same grain take different water:rice ratios to get the desired result. So i stick to the brands that i know i can get right everytime

Yes and it still doesn’t work out - either it’s undercooked or overcooked.

[you go boy]

we got a rice cooker in the crib... just set it and forget it and rice cooks perfect... prally takes 20 minutes total

 

[B Sox]

Basmati is basically all I ever make. Somedays it's a little better than others, but I wouldn't say it's all that difficult. Basically just cooking it for somewhere around 15min.

I have to use the rice in a bag because I don’t know how to cook rice.

As much as I cook, I can’t get the rice part down right. Even with the boil the bag rice.

Trader Joes has a great rice in the bag brand. Ive been using that alot lately for the ease factor

^^^ I also use the TJ’s frozen, microwave rice (both White and Brown) all the time. I can’t tell the difference between that and stove-top cooked rice.

On the other hand, I’m not a fan of the microwaveable rice that comes in pouches that are kept at room temperature.

I find something off about the texture.

 

[D.Josey]

I've got some of that TJ's basmati in the freezer, but I have yet to try it.

If I had Chef Cassandra on speed-dial I wouldn't bother either!

Folks are asking Uncle Ben’s to follow suit of Aunt Jermina changing their brand name and logo.
