Rice question

[Sgt. Pepper]

Maybe the easy cook doesn't need that rinsing through before cooking.
Other than that. . Wtf!

Yeah, it looks part cooked or something, it's darker than the other one.

So why does the 'Easy cook' one take longer?

So why does the 'Easy cook' one take longer?

The question is, why is the one easier to cook than the other one? Just because something is easier to cook, it doesn't mean it takes less time to cook.

Never microwave anything. Really not good for you.

I don't microwave anything, but why isn't it good for you?

[Dr Lecter]

I'll bow to your superior knowledge of food.

People often believe that easy cook means that it takes less time to cook when in fact it takes longer than non-easy cook rice.

Parboiled rice (otherwise known as easy cook rice) is as it suggests parboiled at source with the husk on, resulting in the grain appearing slightly off white in colour that is until it is cooked when it turns white. This process guarantees separate grains of rice that are fluffy and remains so when holding which is ideal for the foodservice industry.

Thanks Uncle Ben.

I like uncle ben's too, but I boil it for 3 minutes rather than microwave it
