You wish.

That's no man's land.

In reply to Drapsey

We've drifted off course but please clarify. Is it no man's land or is it virginal?

Do you know how many women would like to learn how to cook rice?

In reply to Ayenmol

Et tu Ayenmol?

Didn't think you would be in the 'tutoring' business but I guess there must be many sisters who need mentoring.

In reply to Headley

I would doubt the virginal angle.

Not in this age of readily available hand tools/implements.

In reply to Drapsey

Now we're way off course.

I am not sure to what hand tools/implements you refer. For example, would classical piano playing skills be applicable?

Take my word for it fellows. A man who can 'cook rice good' is a man in demand in many circles.

In reply to birdseye

Excepting for the butter, that's exactly my method.

And I prefer par-boiled long grain rice to Jasmine.

And I stir with a fork, not a spoon.

what!!! basmati is the best rice or all rices.

I had a friend from Togo, that used to bring over beer with a whole boiled chicked for us to chase. This man does take the chicken out of the supermarket packaging, straight to pot then plate. Not even salt.

In reply to Drapsey



Exactly different I see. You don't use salt either?

Casper cooks a good rice, any kind - white, brown, red or black. I love the various textures taste and the challenge to cook them to perfection.

In reply to Casper

You mean you cook good rice well?

Ever try cooking your rice in a microwave? That is like a rice cooker. Besides the rice cooks to perfection without getting burnt at the bottom (for those who still use stove tops).

Try this:

2 cups rice.....4 cups water. set time cook for 25 minutes
3 cups rice ....6 cups water. Set time cook for 28 minutes

Do not forget to add a little butter or oil. No salt

In reply to embsallie

What about salt beef?

In reply to nick2020

Reserve the salt beef to cook in some red beans bro. You can add some flour dumplings in there too.

In reply to Drapsey

good enough --- but the butter does enhance

In reply to embsallie

What power level? Or you jus leave it on high?

In reply to Oilah

The ingredients are cheap but the benefits can be highly rewarding.

In reply to Dukes

The feeling is mutual. I suspect you've cooked a cup or two.

In reply to birdseye

Yes man yuh talking from experience.

You can very easily develop a taste for no salt or reduced salt.

In reply to embsallie

Never tried the microwave but an oven works well. Same proportions as the stovetop, 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Must be covered to avoid brown top.

Beauty of the oven or microwave is that you can focus on other things once you've done it a few times and you're confident of the timing.

In reply to Kay

Just leave it on High. If you cook jasmine rice in the microwave however you must uncover the container if it is not deep enough. The starch in the rice tends to make the water/ butter solution spill over when it starts to boil.
