How to Cook Rice in the Microwave And Make It PERFECT EVERY TIME
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ค. 2021
- This is my easy technique to cook rice in the microwave perfectly every time. No more mushy or dry rice. No more standing over the stove. No more burning the bottom of your rice. No more guessing whether you're doing it right. No more inconsistent results. This video will show you how to get it right every single time, and how to fix mistakes during the cooking process so your results are always consistent.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Always add water to about an inch above the rice
2. If you're cooking 1-2 cups of rice start by microwaving it for 10 minutes
3. If you're cooking 3-4 cups of rice start by microwaving it for 15 minutes
4. Pull rice from the microwave and ADD 1/2 - 3/4 cup more water
5. Stir with a fork to distribute moisture throughout the bowl.
6. Microwave again for 5-6 minutes
7. Add plastic wrap to the bowl of finished rice to steam

I'm a disabled and sadly I have to eat microwave food. I cooking everything but I didn't know about cooking rice. Thank you so much because I can really eat different.
This video is precious.
awh I’m glad you were able to make your rice ❤️🎀.
microwave is really versatile if you can cook rice in it! try adding in frozen veg and curry powder. avoid eggs in the microwave always as explosions can be debilitating.
I can cook literally anything except rice and this is how I’ve been cooking my rice for years. It works for me and no one can tell. Even my seasoned rice. I just season it before I put it in the microwave and wah-lah! Good, fluffy rice. Thanks for the plastic wrap tip.
Yes! I do the same thing. It's so quick and easy to cook rice that way.

You can just boil basmati rice in a huge pot of water then strain it. With basmati it turns out fine. Don't try with other rices, though.
Nerd
did you mean voila or wah-lah?
Since my stove oven broke last year, I’ve realised you can cook literally make anything in a microwave. So far I’ve learned to make a cake, cook steak, eggs, potatoes, toast, grilled cheese, stew, noodles, pasta and now rice. The moment I learn to make fried chicken and pork chops in a microwave then my kitchen will be reduced to just a fridge and a microwave 😂
You can make spaghetti in there too
Just takes longer
Steak?!
@@GFAprodite Yeah! You ain’t gonna get it well done and I don’t recommend cooking wagyu but you can cook a decent median well steak
be very, very careful with eggs! although i've made them without issue in the past with a microwave, it's impossible to predict a massive accident with them and boy are there some horrific stories.
OK, I was getting some “are you sure” comments from people about this method, I thought I was odd for figuring this out by accident. It is great! I am glad I found someone else that does this.
It's so much easier than cooking it on the stove in my opinion. And it frees up space on the stove when you're cooking a big meal.
Thank you sooooooo much. I've just started adding rice to a lot of meals and the messy cleanup is a real drag. You deserve a medal for this !!!❤️
Glad I could help!
I once read on jasmine rice package direction: 1 cup rice 2 cups water cook for 5 minutes on 100% power and then 10 more minutes on 50%. Literally turns out perfect Every Time.
I never messure but that's good to know. Thanks!
Finally someone realizes there are more than one power setting on the microwave. Also, there are 650 watt microwaves up to 1000 watt microwaves so it would be nice to know which we are talking about..
@@diynevala I got 900 watts
I never do anything with the microwave temp. mostly because I don't know how but the pasta I cooked today in the microwave was perfect I learned it her on TH-cam!
Waiting for my stove and oven to be repaired. This was extremely helpful. Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Me too! Thank goodness!😁
Same here lol
Wow, that was faster than I thought. Going to try this tonight. 👍
I am so glad I found this! Also isn’t it so refreshing to find a cooking video that just jumps right in, is real, and feels low key in terms of cooking but still a good quality video.
Great job!!! You were very clear and kept things simple. One of the best "how to do" something videos I have ever seen!! Thanks!
Happy it helped!
Well done Danielle and thank you. I have just enjoyed lunch with perfect rice. I actually stopped cooking rice as it always turned out, not wrong exactly, but never perfect. Your way is clean and tidy also. Again, thank you. 😘
Yay! Glad it worked for you!
Thank you! As an international student I need to eat well but cool quick! This helps!
Thank you for this video. I will be cooking my rice just like this from now on.
It's definitely easier in my opinion.
Great job!!! You were very clear and kept things simple.
Thank you so much for this video🔥 I'm trying to downsize and start using my microwave and air fryer to cook all my meals.
You're welcome!
Excellent video - clear and informative - Thank You!
As old as as I am I did not know you can make rice in the microwave... I am in my late fifties and I am old fashion person, I have been cooking rice in a pot over the stove, that's how my mom told me in my country and that's how I taught my wife and my kids.... But thank you for the clip.... Remember to wash the rice first....
Sending love from Miami...
Very well explained. Fully detailed description and walk through.💯 Thank you. 💪🏽
This is a solid video on youtube, thank you!
I feed my dogs rice when they have an upset stomach. Ran out of instant rice. So this sounds perfect. Not much messing with the stove. Thank you for the tip
Thanks for this I'm going to try this tomorrow
Thank you very much helped me out a lot now that I live on my own!!
You're welcome!
Thank you, I had to check out a video. I'm in my truck I'm over the road truck driver so this will help out for dinner.
Wooow thanks for this video!!! U teached me to cook rice. God bless u girl
Thank you I was curious cause I had to get rid of my stovetop
Thank you so much sis,I was missing my rice & peas because my hob has broken,its so much easier than boiling yummy,subbed!
Cooked again today perfect🙂
First rice video I have found that does not have a lid, I've been looking for hours, thank you! Can't wait to try!
Girl, thank you so much. I always thought it wasn't good to do rice in microwave and now I won't cook it any other way. Awesome vid ty ♥ Scribed!
You are so welcome!
I like the easy way of doing things . Great video
Lol, thanks!
I absolutely love how you do this, it just works - right 👍 :)
Yes! At last a smart way to cook rice in microwave.
You smashed it love well done Hack Life lol ❤️
Very nice helpful video , thank you 👍
Thank you! My nephew and nieces loved it and called it high quality rice. lol
😂😂 I might have to start calling it that. 😭
Method worked like a charm! Thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
Hey, I just came up with an idea that would make it so I don't think you would have to stir in the microwave try putting a microwave safe plate over the top of the bowl. It is okay if it does not make a perfect seal. All rice cookers have lids with holes in them to let go of some of the steam in a controlled manner. I think this could help. The microwave process as well keeping some of the steam in during the cooking process, as far as timing goes, a rice kernel takes 20 minutes to soften so I don't think there's any way around that kind of like how pasta takes 7 minutes, but give it a try and see if it works. Make sure not to have a perfect seal or the rice can explode
It still floods over, rice bubbles/foams a shit ton when there’s high heat
@@mad8805 what a bummer! But thanks for letting us know kind of wondering though, did the top layer of rice get cooked? Either way, I guess it would be too big of a mess too bother with unless you put that bowl in a bigger bowl to catch the water bubbles
Crazy Useful😎
This is exactly what I needed. This is a great video
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much i was searching how to make rice in microwave cus i was so scared to make it in gas tysm i love the rice❤
Thank you so much for this tutorial! 💞 I'm a teen and never made rice before but I wanted to make some because my Dog has an upset stomach. Worked perfectly!
Glad it worked for you!
This worked great for me. Thank you so much!!💗💓💞💗💓💞
You're welcome!
Just came back to say this works!! I do this at work every time now definitely a game changer and saves on money!!! Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Glad it's working for you.
Great video, it came out very well for me. I am staying at a hotel, and this made my life easier, Thank you!!!!!!!
Plus you were very nice, and did a great job explaining.
It's some food for my doggies and myself, my baby doggies Annie and Teddy thank you as well😊😊❤️❤️
So happy it worked for you!
Very informative!
Great tutorial, legitimately helped. My gas isn't turned on yet and this came in helpful to work with what Ive got. I did have to laugh a little on the intro and outro music though... I was like, "Are we getting ready to start a rap battle?" Lol, that shit came in dramatic and I wasn't that amped to make rice - but I am now!
😂😂😂 I don't even remember what music I chose. I'll have to go back and listen. Lol
Thank you! It’s a lifesaver. God Bless you 🤗
It worked perfectly! Thank you! I almost bought a rice cooker so this saved me money. I always try boiling but comes out crunch or soggy.
Same. It never works right for me.
Buying a rice cooker will actually save you more money in the long run due to electricity bill than having to use a microwave and running it so many times plus you don't have to fiddle with the rice to see if it's okay
@@yaemiko8571 ActuaIIy, to make that cIaim you'd have to know the wattage of each appIiance, factor in an additionaI purchase cost for a singIe use item, money spent over time and the price per kWatt hour. Changing out an oId Iight buIb for an LED may save you more money over the years. Most peopIe don't mind an additionaI 2 cents to not have an extra purchase or storing ( if they have space to do so ) an additionaI item. So actuaIIy we need to actuaIIy pay attention to the actuaI detaiIs. L0L

I can’t really cook but this saves my money and make my life easier Thank you so much
You're welcome!
Thank you. This is a very usefull and informativ tutorial.
Have a great day.
You too!
Thanks for sharing this! ❤❤
No problem 😊
Thank you So much!
❣️😊
Thanks a lot i needed that to make rice before work lol 😊
My pleasure 😊
Perfect. Thank you
You're welcome!
You are a real life saver ❤ legend 👍🏻
Great success! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you
Best to rinse the rice until water turns clear before cooking. Nice content.
I do sometimes but I don't notice a difference in the finished product when I spend time doing that
@@DanielleLaShawn it removes the arsenic from the rice and makes the grains more separated. Pour cold water over the rice in a bowl and gently scoop up some rice in your hands and gently rub the rice together and repeat. Pour out the cloudy water and repeat about 2 to 3 more times until the water runs clear. Then cook the rice. 😊🍲
@@jda9193 i don't think it removes the arsenic - 4 billion people eat rice each day. washing the rice helps remove the starch which if you don't contributes to the rice being gluggy and sticky. that's why sticky rice found in asian dishes - higher starch content.
thank youuuu!!
So cool!! I never knew you could make rice in a microwave. Thanks for the video ! But there is another option too. That is maybe even easier if you get a super cheap price maker. It's the same rules still 20 minutes still in inch of water above the rice but you don't have to stir it. Maybe it's because you cook it with a lid on? I'm not sure. But microwaves are slightly more expensive to run than the rice cooker. Just an option
Thank you Danielle. !
You're welcome!
I’m going to try this brb
It worked
😂😂😂
today I learned something new. thanks.
You're welcome!
Girllllllll! Thank you! Eating my rice now and girlllll 🤯😍😋🍚🍚🍚🍛
Lol, mine always comes out perfectly.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Thx 🙏🏻
Hi! I just found you!! Thank you!!
I hope you have air fry’s recipes!!
Did you have to add more water on the third time?
The secret to happiness is rice
You should wash your rice until the water runs clear - it makes them even fluffier. Next you should let the rice soak 30-60 minutes in the water before cooking them - gives a better texture.
Thanks for the tips!
Wow me being asian i never knew about this thanks 😂 its because no one wants to use the rice cooker too much work! But microwave for me is a yes!
And for anyone wondering about ratios, for every half a cup of rice add 1 cup of water.
Enjoyed seeing how others do rice. You could just buy a microwave with auto sensor presets for rice, wash the rice first then add the water and rice to your bowl (2 parts rice to 3 parts water), with or without lid, select auto sensor until rice is selected then start. It will do moisture perfect rice everytime as it auto adjusts the power and time on the fly by detecting moisture levels and automatically stops when its perfect so there is no need to keep checking. Thats what the setting is there for on modern microwaves along with other presets for everything else. Always make sure your microwaves has the auto sensor function so it measures moisure from the food and adjusts accordingly. Dont get confused with the auto cook sensor on microwaves which is based on manual weight and time input, this is not as accurate, but make sure it has both functions when buying microwaves. Simples. Makes life easy and efficient. 😊
Why are you here 😅 just a question lol 😊
I heard this microwave has secret rice-cooking powers. Just checking if it's true! 🧙♂️✨"
Rice is always cook two water to one rice,two cups of water to one cup of rice,always perfect no need to guess or inspect.
🤭Our names, though 🤭
You're Danielle LaShawn and I'm LaShaun Danielle..
I can cook some of the hardest food out there but I could never cook rice the right way. I just started getting that one minute rice popping it in the microwave and calling it a meal. It's just that I don't like it. Whenever I make rice, I like to cook it in the broth of the meat I'm preparing it with and you can't do that with that minute rice. I'm making chicken and rice today so I'm going to try your way with chicken broth and rice in the microwave. I hope it comes out good because if it does this is a game changer
Lol, hopefully it turned out great!
Did you get your bowl from Amazon, thanks?
It's a mixing bowl from IKEA and it's super old but I'm sure they have similar sets now.
Thank you. No oven, college student, microwave and toaster oven only
This is what I do I just crab a bowl throw rice into it put water and spice some butter and let it cook I tried to use a pot and it just comes out sticky and chewy thought about trying chicken or beef stock instead of water for flavor
I agree. It's much easier to make good rice in the microwave.
Thank u I have a rice steamer .but it's more cleanup it's so much faster.
I thought about buying one, but this method works so well that I don't think I need it. Lll
I wanna do this Bc I despise doing dishes and the rice sticks so bad to the pot 😞 is a bowl easier to clean after doing this ?
Absolutely! It doesn't stick at all.
The less dishes the better and cooking it in the same bowl or maybe a bigger bowl, then I can make dessert rice or dinner rice what a wonderful way to cut down on dishes and speed up a dinner to bring to a needy family or new neighbors❤
I agree!
whats up with that bowl?
Could I use a tin bowl? I’m a college student and currently don’t have a bowl like that but would a tin bowl work? 😭 thank you for your videos🙏🏼
You can't put metal in the microwave so I wouldn't try that. Maybe you can borrow a glass or plastic bowl or container?
@@DanielleLaShawn bruh she ded she ain't reply
@@highbailey6196 😂
Might seem stupid but are you using minute rice or regular rice? I would assume regular but I have learned to never assume anything.
I use regular rice. Jasmine rice is my preference.
Don't have a lot of kitchen utensils and wares right now. Thank you.
If anybody wondering stir the rice before putting it in the microwave then stir every 5 minutes
Thank you for showing me how to cook rice the directions on the box for terrible.
Do you wash the rice or soak it beforehand?
sometimes
We asians, prefer to quickly wash rice 2 to 3 times. It'll only takes 30s-1m. Thank you for the video.
I do it sometimes, but honestly it makes no difference in how the rice turns out so I don't do it every time.
Is it not recommended that food is covered whilst it is being cooked in a microwave??
I did not recommend covering it while cooking.
I will try it now, because my electric stove is broken ,the rice cooker is not available 😭 in my house no money to buy .
I hope it worked well for you
Thanks! But I will need some measures not approximately...I will read the comments below to see...
Thank you for sharing...I was told that when the rice floats to the top after you put water, its plastic fake rice and to remove it. There's Videos about that just in case you wish to find out more about that.
Thanks for the tip!
@@DanielleLaShawn YES.....I recently found this out so im tryin to tell the world lol. Anyway. Thanks for your advice as well.
Watching this while crunching on rice 😅
the smoke detector 😂
Have you tried covering it during the cooking
No, I cover it afterward to allow it to steam. Covering it in the microwave for that amount of time would probably make it boil over... That or melt the plastic.
@@DanielleLaShawn i was about to ask about boiling over
@@leegilmour8090 it only boils over when I fill the bowl too much, and even then it's only starchy water that overflows, not the rice itself.
Just made rice as video describes. Fucking perfect 🤤🤤🤤
I make mine in the microwave every time. Lol 😋
Do you not wash the starch off?
I've tried it both ways and I don't notice a difference. Maybe it's just me though.
My parents are going to be home in 10 minutes 😭
Lol
I'll try it. Mine will proabaly end up a mess. If it works or doesn't I'll let you know. Wish me luck........
How'd it go?
@@DanielleLaShawn Haven't done it yet. I might try it in the week. Will let you know, thanks. Generally my rice comes out like glue...not good!
