LaDonna's rice maker question

[Guest guest]

Would you like to recommend your brand of rice maker?

Mine is a plastic steamer electric Sunbeam that I haven't liked since Day

1!

There are holes in the lid and it spits out a tremendous amoount of steam in

the kitchen. I use it outdoors or not at all.

Good question, Holly. It may be that my rice cooker is able to cope with

the different cooking times. I blend, equal amounts, of wild, basmati

brown, and basmati white rice for this recipe. I've never had problems with

it not turning out. The white rice is done first, but it doesn't appear to

be bothered by the longer cooking time. Basmati white rice is a dry rice

and not sticky (like Jasmine and other types of white rice), so that may be

why I can get away with this. Choose the variety of white rice you use with

care.

 

I would suggest that you omit the white rice completely and just use wild

and basmati brown rice for this recipe. You could also cook each rice

separately and then mix them together right before serving.

 

I'm going to be making this recipe today. . .I'm using hazelnuts, sesame

seeds, sunflower seeds, broccoli, artichoke hearts, parsley, and ???? I'll

keep you posted.

About Joe's Sabbath Rice, brown & wild rice

 

 

When I make brown or wild rice, the 'done' time seems to go directly from

underdone, to mush, with not much time in between.

And I am following directions to the letter.

So, how can you cook white rice with a shorter cooking time together with

brown and wild, which take longer, and have everything turn out perfectly?

Unless, of course, you have the perfect steamer (mine is obviously not one

of them). Details, please!

I love my Krups rice cooker - it's also a slow cooker.

The only caution is: it's big and works best using two

or more cups of raw rice.

 

I like to make up a large batch of brown rice to have

on hand and I use it in several dishes for a couple

of days - baked rice casseroles, stir-fried rice, etc.

 

 

I got mine at www.amazon.com
