Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Rice Cooker Question       #120623 - 11/10/04 11:53 AM Edit Reply Quote Sweetd Reged: 07/13/04 Posts: 782 Loc: NY I made 2 cups of rice in my Rice Cooker two diferent times and I followed the directions and both times the rice was hard. I keep it in for a total of 45 minutes (first on warm, then it goes to cook), I put 2 cups water and then let it cook. What am I doing wrong? -------------------- Ibs-d and fructose sensitive.

See how that turns out. -------------------- www.facebook.com/shell.marr www.myspace.com/shellmarr Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Rice Cooker Question       #120649 - 11/10/04 12:44 PM Edit Reply Quote Sweetd Reged: 07/13/04 Posts: 782 Loc: NY Thanks, I wil try that.

I would think the same amount of time would be ok.... -------------------- www.facebook.com/shell.marr www.myspace.com/shellmarr Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     ShellMarr       #120668 - 11/10/04 01:09 PM Edit Reply Quote Sweetd Reged: 07/13/04 Posts: 782 Loc: NY I forget the name of the brand (I am at work), but it doesn't have a timer only Warm and Cook. It is a small 7 cup Rice Cooker. -------------------- Ibs-d and fructose sensitive.

How long do you keep your's in for and how much water do you put in for 2 cups say for example? Thanks -------------------- Ibs-d and fructose sensitive.

Does it cook and THEN go to warm? If so, once it goes to warm... it should be done, you might at that point remove the lid and let it set for just a few minutes and then fluff with a fork. -------------------- www.facebook.com/shell.marr www.myspace.com/shellmarr Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Rice Cooker Question       #120721 - 11/10/04 04:04 PM Edit Reply Quote khyricat Reged: 08/05/04 Posts: 3612 Loc: Michigan mine says to use cook and then warm... -------------------- Dietetics Student (anticipating RD exam in Aug 2010) IBS - A Dairy Allergic Fructose and MSG intollerant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Spicey8138       #120768 - 11/10/04 06:28 PM Edit Reply Quote Dr. Spice Yamin Reged: 04/15/04 Posts: 3286 Loc: Maryland I usually take it out as soon as it turns to warm. I think warm is just there to let you keep it warm if you dont' want to eat it right away.. generally though I don't make it until I need it, so I usually don't leave it in there too long. I usually put equal parts rice/water.. so two cups rice, i'd do two cups water.. maybe a few tsps extra water. -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Rice Cooker Question       #120774 - 11/10/04 07:43 PM Edit Reply Quote stevensa Reged: 09/12/04 Posts: 132 Loc: Texas If you are using regular long-grain rice you should use 3 cups of water for 2 cups of rice.

Maybe i'll try to leave it in on warm longer and see if it gets better. -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     stevensa       #120839 - 11/11/04 05:18 AM Edit Reply Quote Sweetd Reged: 07/13/04 Posts: 782 Loc: NY Thank you. I was using 2 cups rice and 2 cups water. That is what it said in the instructions for Long Grain white reice. Thanks, I'll try that! -------------------- Ibs-d and fructose sensitive.

But it says to keep it on warm for about 15 minutes for fluffy rice, so I keep in on warm. I think I just need more water someone else said. I will try again.

You can find Calrose rice in the asian sections of most grocery stores. It's the best...I grew up in Japan.
