Best home cooked rice, done in the microwave, some tips.

I do rice in the microwave all the time. It takes 2 cups of water to cook 1 cup of rice. If you're cooking veggies with the rice you may want to add a quarter cup of water. You may also want to cover the dish, so that the steam does not escape, this helps the rice cook better.

I bought myself an $8 rice steamer from Walmart a long time ago and use it to steam veggies as well, which keeps the vitamins locked in.

That sound like a good idea. I like doing it in the microwave so much better than bothering with a bunch of dishes. I am really not a ocok, so the aster and easier way there is to prepare food, the happier I am.

I never cook rice in the microwave. We have a pressure cooker and I find that's quicker...it just takes a few minutes to have the rice just right. We are rice eaters and have rice daily. And the microwave uses more electricity than the stove uses gas.
I don't use a rice cooker and sometimes I do it the old fashioned way...but that doesn't take me more than 15 minutes either (without any veggies or meat in it).

I need to start using my microwave more. Your way of cooking rice sounds a whole lot easier than getting out a pot and cooking it on the stove top. I will have to try it your way next time I make rice.

Hello dear beauty queen. I am glad that you enjoy your way of cooking rice by using the microwave. We use rice cooker to cook rice for each meal. Lately my wife bought one microwave and I would be very happy to give it a try to taste the perfect rice as described. Thanks and enjoy your cooking, beauty queen.

That just sounds like too much trouble. I cook my rice on the stove and it turns out good every time. I use two cups of water for one cup of rice and some salt and a tablespoon of butter. I let the water boil first then I add the rice and turn it down to low and let it cook. It takes about 15 minutes and it is done. I think my way sound a lot easier than your way, in the microwave. But what ever works for you is good. I don't really like to use the microwave for cooking and only use it for warming foods up. Or for boiling water for coffee if I am having instant coffee. But for cooking, no thanks, I find that everything comes out rubbery and tasteless. But that is only my opinion.
