Question about rice cookers - Penny

[Guest guest]

I rinse my rice to remove some of the excess starch. I love the basmati rice

and I've not had problems with it

sticking together. Add a little oil to your rice, if this doesn't work for you

and it may help. I just cook mine in a pot on the stove.

 

I had no idea, that Arkasas was such a rice producer. Didn't actually realize

we had rice patties here in the United States. Then

we were traveling thru your state and we saw them...... I couldn't take my

eyes off of them, as we drove by them on the interstate. It is really

pretty neat to see.

Question about rice cookers

 

 

I see a lot of you have rice cookers. I don't have one and we almost always

eat ordinary long grain white rice (it's a major crop in Arkansas so I kind

of feel like I'm supporting my state). But I have a lot of problems with

rice when I cook it. It clumps up, and it's often sticky. Would a rice

cooker stop that? I don't know anyone in my " real " life who has one and I

hate to spend money on something that will be a lot like my little food

processor - it will sit in the cabinet and just gather dust, or be borrowed

by my daughter until I go to her house to retrieve it! We eat a lot of

stir-fries so we use a lot of rice. I'd love to be able to have leftover

rice that isn't all clumped together. Any advice?

It is cool to see the rice paddies isn't it? And we also grow soybeans and

my hometown is famous for their peaches. Unfortunately the weird weather

has killed this year's peach crop so they're going to have to import peaches

for the Johnson County Peach Festival this year.
