Do you have a rice cooker?

I love mine. I will just put in 2 cups of rice and 2 1/2 cups of water. When it is done cooking I will just toss a little butter in there, and some salt and pepper, give it a good stir and then add like a teaspoon of chili powder, and a tablespoon of Italian seasoning, and it is sooooo good.

i do have another simple recipe for you. try adding some chicken stock too and a dash of salt. you'll have chicken rice and it goes well with steamed chicken. owh yes, i have a few for porrigdes, too. the simple one is to add coconut milk together and a little bit of salt with your rice porridge. when it's cooked, you can serve it with soy sauce or you can just eat own its own. another one is to put 2-3 cloves of garlic and sesame oil and a handful of anchovies and not forgetting, salt. it's creamy, but not as creamy as the one with the coconut milk. and it's up to you wether you want to serve it with soy sauce or not. i hope you like it!

You should get one. I think it was only like $19.99 and it is so worth it. It also keeps the rice warm without ruining it, so if you have people who eat at different times you don't have to worry about the rice getting cold, or ruining it by re-heating it.

yes, that's true. you should get one. because even a 5-year old can cook rice! because it's THAT easy. some of the rice cooker has the cooking porridge option as well. it'll make your rice warm automatically. and it wouldn't hardened your porridge. and sometimes you can even cook the frozen ready made pizza in the rice cooker. just dash a little bit of oil, pop the pizza in the rice cooker, close the lid for a few minutes letting it to cook. and walla, a pizza is ready to eat. well, with the rice cooker it's easier for you to cook your rice perfectly. a cup of rice means you only need a cup of water roughly, depending of what kind of rice are you cooking (mostly it works). basmathi rice needs more water. all you have to do is close the lid and let it cook by itself. you don't have to worry about your rice getting burnt later. or another way to measure is to let your rice lay the same level (after rinsing the rice with water that is) in the rice cooker pot. slowly pour the water into the pot. put your tip of your middle finger on the upper level of the rice. the water level should be at least until the first line of your finger covering your nails. fuuh. my english is not that good so i have trouble explaining this but i hope you get what i mean ya? hope it does help you shymurl! happy mylotting!

I agree, I probably will not go back to cooking it in a pot again either.

I actually got one when I got married, it was a steamer rice cooker, it never worked right so I never used it, and didn't care to have one again, but when my husband bought me this one I decided to give it a shot. We didn't eat that much rice before either, we would have noodles most nights or some kind of potato, but now that we got it we have been eating a lot more rice and not just as a side dish. We have been eating rice as a meal on Sundays since we got it. I throw what ever meat we have left over in there with the rice with some seasoning, it takes me 2 minutes, I close it up and in 20 minutes we have dinner.

I will happy with what ever you want to give me.

I have no problem making it on the stove, but the rice cooker is just so easy. I can just pour the rice and the water in and just forget about it. I kind of like that. The rice cooks almost perfectly too. But if you are able to make it on the stove and enjoy doing it that is great too.
