Product Information

If your goal is to avoid this less-than-earth-friendly material at all costs, you’ll probably be better off with another rice cooking method (see below). If you can handle a little plastic, there are some microwave cookers that are more environmentally-friendly (such as the Handy Gourmet Eco and the Lavino). Other Options The rice should be covered for most of this time, because of the soaking element. The last few minutes, it’s the steaming part that’s taking place, and the amount of liquid is irrelevant, as long as there’s still steam. Containers can become stiff after freezing. Allow the container to rest for a few minutes at room temperature or run under warm water before opening or microwaving. Cook the rice on high heat for 5 minutes and then medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes. The cooking time may vary based on the different types of rice. If you are pressed for time, you will want a microwave rice cooker that works in record time. Trying to make rice the conventional way takes a lot of time and trouble. You need to constantly watch the pot to prevent the rice from over boiling.

If you prefer a product that doesn’t include any plastic, going the traditional route with a good pot, tight-fitting lid, and a timer is a better option. The primary function of a microwave rice cooker is to make creating perfect rice especially easy. The model that you use should be extremely simple and straightforward. Ideally, it should come with a set of clear instructions and perhaps a recipe guide.

I’ve been pretty good (in my own opinion, anyway, haha) at cooking rice for many years, although I would on occasion end up with too much water or burnt grains on the bottom of the pot when I wasn’t paying attention or bothering to draw on my previous knowledge, LOL. Safety features: Ensure that the steamer is made from food-grade, BPA-free materials and has a clear lid for easy monitoring. Make sure the steamer has a non-slip base to prevent it from moving in the microwave and ensure it is easy to remove from the microwave without burning yourself.
