I used to be able to cook rice in the microwave...But that was when there were 4 of us...now there's just me and also with a different microwave. I made basmati rice most nights for supper. But that was in the early 90's. Now I'm outa practice. Hence the rice cooker.
It's like most things you do repeatedly after a while you don't need to measure or anything, you just know. Well since the new nuker and the smaller quanities, I just didn't know anymore. And it was a pain to make 3 or 4 batches of rice so's 1 batch would be eatible. Hence the rice maker. Plus I rarely eat rice anymore...low carbing and diabetic reasons...Sure I'll cheat and eat say 1/2 cup of cooked rice now and then, usually when dining out. So to get 1/2 cup cooked rice you need to cook less than 1/4 cup raw rice, that is possible in my rice cooker but not so likely in the nuker.
I like my rice buttered...How do you like your rice?
