You can get smaller ones!:) Just said I invested in the larger one, for practical reasons. Did have a small one first, which has now been passed on to the lads at their uni digs.

I've never had a problem with cooking it on the stove. It's important to use a lot of water, as rice absorbs an awful lot, but as long as you don't leave it boiling too long it shouldn't be stodgy. Never use round grain, though, as it's the wrong consistency for anything but rice pudding.

Never heard of round grain before, certainly never spotted any marked up as that, does it go by another name :confused:

Re: Perfect Rice?

Make sure you wash it well before cooking , get rid of all the loose starch particles , was once told by an old Mama-San it should be washed/rinsed 7 times (once for each sea) before cooking . ;)
Basmati for Chinese/Indian food and Arborio for Spanish (Paella) /Italian food, forget the long grain enriched processed stuff only good use for that is wallpaper paste :eek: :eek:

The knack is to measure the volume of rice and add double that volume of cold water.

When it just begins to simmer slap a tight fitting lid on and turn the heat down to the minimum possible heat your hob allows. Don't lift the lid for 15 minutes. When you do the rice will have absorbed all the water and is ready to be hot rinsed, strained and ready to serve.

Almost the same as you but I use 1 1/4 more water by volume.add a drop of oil and use a layer of tinfoil before fitting the lid on the pan - this ensures a tight fit and stops the steam escaping.
Never be tempted to lift the lid for 20 mins:cook38:
