Take care when opening the sachet as the contents will be very hot. Check food is piping hot. Do not reheat once cooled. All cooking appliances vary. This is a guide only.

How to cook rice
I find it a little odd that there are moans in this thread and every one of them quotes the offending post with its supposed personal details. Everyone says this is something new, it most certainly is not. It happened to me back in the 1990s. There are unfortunately idiots about and always have been. It is not as much of a problem having your details put up as you might think. After all most of the info is in the voters lists or public available in any case. What is probably most annoying is that somebody bothers to post such things and try to suggest falsehoods. However many posts can today be traced back much better than back in the early days when most idiots who posted untruths used a Norwegian post annonymising server which was not keeping records. I guess being childish is never going to change at all, so just don your fireproof undies and life will go on. I fully realise by responding to this thread I am probably going to be a target, but I'd rather any new folk realise that its not a new issue and not as serious as you might think, than get all bitter and twisted over it all. Now back to the rough and tumble of Usenet. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Actually, legal spoofing is often used to make emails from groups with
political agendas seem like they come from famous people as well. As in... From: Sir Patrick Stewart - People's Vote To: Brian Gaff Message-ID: Subject: Join me to demand a People's Vote. Together, we can make it so Not very original is it? But hey everyone has an angle! That is another thing Keep plenty of free throw away email addresses.

I do it by weight, 30g of rice, 120g of water Add salt and butter to taste I dont add these. and microwave at full power for 4 minutes, till boiling, and then at low power for 12 minutes. I do 2 mins on full and 10 mins on med-low, covered. I do it in a big square rigid melamine container with lid and have that on a medium sized Corelle plate which catches the inevitable small amount of much from when the rice is boiling. Saves washing the much bigger glass rotating plate in the base of the microwave. When its a curry, add that after the rice is done and eat it from the square melamine thing with a splayd. Perfect rice esp. basmati. Yeah, bit fiddly getting the amount of rice and water right initially but then its perfect every time. For far eastern rice, use jasmine rice and add cremed cocunus instead of part of the water. Never tried that. |

(800W: 3 1/2 minutes, 900W: 3 minutes, 1000W: 2 1/2 minutes) Owain Easy way to cook rice from raw. Take one measure of rice, by volume, and add two measures of water, by volume. Add salt and butter to taste and microwave at full power for 4 minutes, till boiling, and then at low power for 12 minutes. Perfect rice esp. basmati. For far eastern rice, use jasmine rice and add cremed cocunus instead of part of the water. If you want horrible soggy rice, like school dinner rice-pudding then that's how the English do it. The correct way is to WASH the (white) rice first, then cook it. I never wash it first and never get soggy rice when done like that. I used to wash it first, but gave up after not doing it once and finding it exactly te same. But I generally only cook basmati. Soggy rice is all about which rice type you use. Jasmine will make soggy glutinous rice if there is a hint of too much water. IIRC the rice for risotto always does. As does rice sold as 'pudding' rice. Long grain is generaslly OK IIRC - havent cooked it in years tho. -- Of what good are dead warriors? €¦ Warriors are those who desire battle more than peace. Those who seek battle despite peace.

I buy it frozen from Waitrose For best results microwave from frozen. Remove one sachet of rice from original packaging. Place directly into the microwave, ensuring the writing side of the sachet is facing up. Heat on FULL POWER and allow to stand for 1 minute before serving. Take care when opening the sachet as the contents will be very hot. Check food is piping hot. Do not reheat once cooled. All cooking appliances vary. This is a guide only.

I dont eat a lot of risotto so have never got around to trying both approaches on the same day to see if I can pick the difference. And I have only ever got food poisoning a couple of times, both in restraints, never at home and I cook proper meals from scratch most days. |
