Cooking one cup of rice

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

Cooking one cup of rice in the microwave has never been successful, having spoken to friends who also cook rice on a regular basis, I know I’m not the only person who has this problem.

I saw this little gadget on line and thought I would try their cooking method using a regular microwave rice cooker.

  1. Fill washed rice cooker or container with one cup of rice
  2. Add appropriate amount of water (I used 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water)
  3. Close lid
  4. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes
  5. Microwave for 15 minutes using low power (I used 50% power)
  6. Let sit for 10 minutes before eating

*You may have to adjust the amount of water to rice depending on the type of rice you use

I tried it this morning and out came one cup of perfectly cooked rice.
