Rice stuck to my pan! Rice cookers

[Guest guest]

Check out the local drugstores. I found my rice cooker there for $17 and it

converts to a steamer. Cooks up one cup of raw rice. Sometimes I'm lazy and

use my stainless steel pan so I don't have to dig the cooker out. I do have a

pan with a glass lid so I can watch the rice cooking but it seems like a very

low simmer for 15 mins. does the trick. I have been known to do as Shawn and

lift the lid. Don't worry it really doesn't wreck it. I think it takes just a

little more practice with brown rice. It can stay hard or become very gluey (is

that a word)......(;-))) Donna

in a pan is that you've got to

watch your rice/pan like a hawk. Lift lid and stir, lift lid and stir. It's

probably a bad practice because lifting the lid affects the temperature but

that's the only way that I know of.

 

One day I'd like to get a rice cooker. For some reason those things are more

expensive than other kitchen appliances and they only do one thing - cook

rice. I don't know why but it may be worth it in the long run.

 

Cleaning - sometimes if you pour water in the pan and reheat the pan on the

stove, you'll be able to lightly scrape off stuck items with a spatula. No

guarantees though.
