bamboo steamer Amy F

[Guest guest]

I use an electric steamer. I used to make rice in the bamboo steamer. You have

to soak your rice for 6 to 8 hours, drain and place in a large piece of

cheese-cloth and place in steamer. I stopped using the bamboo steamer as it

picks up flavors, I also read they are hard to keep clean and there's a

possibility of bacteria.

This is so much easier now that I use the rice cooker.

My rice cooker makes the best brown rice. I use 1 cup rice and 2 1/2 cups

water and it's perfect. I usually buy the brown California short grain but

the long grain is fine.

 

 

Are these electric rice cookers? I have a bamboo steamer but haven't used it

for rice yet. Anyone have some tips on using it with rice? I assume I need to

line the bottom with lettuce leaves but haven't looked into it yet. AmyF
