After watching the video a couple days ago, I went online and ordered a microwave rice cooker. It arrived today and I cooked my first batch of microwaved rice. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE??? The rice came out perfect, in less time, with no mess and I did not have to watch the pot. And to think I've been doing it the old fashioned way for 30+ years. Greg, you're my hero! :D
This method of cooking rice has been adopted by us. Two reasons: it saves time and also saves electric. A microwave only uses about 800 watt whereas a cooker hob is about 1KW and is on for longer. We haven't used a proper microwave rice pot, as demoed by Greg but a plastic bowl covered with a small plate. Many thanks, Greg, you've saved us money and our rice turns out really nice each time ass well! (o:
Thank you for washing the rice three times before cooking. Most people in the west dont seem to understand that there can be dust and impurities in the rice. We have used a similar rice cooker for microwave for the past ten years with great result every time. I have even introduced it to our neighbours.
This is a guy from Indiana, USA ... 'I'm calling from the future this is September 23rd, 2022' 😎👍🤘🇺🇲 (I remember getting this way back when, whilst googling for a microwave rice cooker..... Been a fan ever since ...
Thank you. I was looking for something on how to cook rice with my micro steamer. This was the easiest most complete instructions that I found. I appreciate it!
Greg.... I don't know what I would have done without this video. I'm hard core craving rice and curry and its 4am and you made my life a little easier 👌
I just did this tonight with a plastic mixing bowl and put the dinner plate on top. The 'spout' on the edge of the bowl let the steam out and the rice was great. Fluffed it up a bit with a fork. Nice warm plate. Home made mixed veg pasta sauce on top. Yummy!
Good onè bloke. I used to mico my rice for years and had no probs, BUT, with my other half is philipino, she bought an electric cooker and made things simpler, but I got lazy with it all, and after the second electric one crapped itself, I'm here asking you to jog my memory. Thanks heaps m8, simple and 2 the point 2 get the job done. TTFN, Teddy😂
I'll tell you right now....once I found ONE of these BAD boys....I NEVER looked back!!!!....And it does instant rice also, just for those of you who might want rice in about 6-8 mins.!!!! If you don't mind instant rice, it will cook it just fine!!! 😁😎🖒🖒....I'm actually using mine RIGHT NOW for some boxed cilantro-lime rice! I just took it out of the box, measured it, added the water needed, and the packet....gave it a good stir b4 cooking, and I'm waiting patiently! lol 😁
Thanks alot greg your recipes help me alot with my two sons Because feeding them is a bit of a trouble when im working a double shift As well as my wife leaving me for a young rockstar Once again thanks alot Greg x0x0.
I have a rice cooker just like this one. Only difference is that mine has a clear cover that goes on before the top. I had forgotten how to use this and was glad to find your video. Thanks. Now I just have to find out if the directions is the same for sticky rice.
That’s honesty for you 😂 So now you know how easy it is to make steamed microwave rice time to have a go. Trick is to probably use a high quality basmati rice like tilda. Happy cooking
Like the video, simple & easy. I like to add a table spoon of regular corn/cooking oil, at the same time as the salt. I find it helps keep the rice separate.
(1) The key is the amount of water. With the rice I use, it is 1.5 cup of cold water for every cup of uncooked rice. (2) If you use a bowl, for 2 cup rice, set it to 12 minutes with a power setting of 60%, If you make the power at 100%, the froth may overflow (3)The bowl should be 50% bigger than the contents (rice+water volume) (4) The advantage of bowl is that, you can cook smaller portions, say 1 cup uncooked rice, without a big pot occupying cupboard space.
You can also make rice ahead and store it flat in a baggie. Rice freezes beautifully! Takes only a few minutes to thaw and warm it in the microwave for just a few minutes to eat! Between my rice cooker and Panini grill, I have cut down on cooking times and clean up time for meals! Did you know that you can use both the rice cooker and the Panini grill for a lot more than what they were intended?
Groovy! I do prefer the boil kettle and pour in a pan method, but still this it really easy and less mucking about. Where did u buy your rice cooker from, Greg?
Hi Greg! Thanks for the tip of the water for the plants, works great! Also, if i dont have a microwave rice cooker can i just use a plain 'ol Tupperware?
@@JulianVidal001 Myself, butter but no salt, I don't use salt except boil pasta water to boil faster, but not a lot of salt, and lately, both butter and sugar. I use some sugar for some years now, but only with regular white rice, Jasmine, or Basmati. For a couple years or so now, I use the latter two.
11 years later and it still works! See you back here in 2034, if we're all still around and rice is available in (still legal) commercial outlets or on the underground, where we can 2 grams of Tai White, a gram of coke and a 500ml bag of Basmati? Tx boo.
I have a 1qt. well known brand microwave cooker. My microwave is 1100 watts. I don't know what is the wattage of your microwave? So, my question is, do I nuke mine on 100% power for 18 minutes? I don't like my rice to be too watery. I like it flaky. A little moist would be ok, but not gummy. What do you suggest?
I gave a thumbs up mainly because you washed the rice and the people I watched they didn't wash the rice. Me and my granddaughter agree with you that you should wash the rice because of all the dirt my granddaughter was so happy that you washed the rice and my granddaughter is only 11 years old. And the rice that you cooked looked very nice and tasty.

Amy Nuovo Great work Amy:D
Rice cooker :\
Amy Nuovo doesn't nornal rice cooker has set timer?
I think the way in microwave is more perfect than rice cooker.
Same! I ordered one last night.
Rice takes 18 minutes.
Garlic Bread takes 18 minutes.
Well I wonder what I'll be having for dinner tonight...

You sir are a Genius! Thank you :)
Love the tip to pour the rice water on plants.
But after he said it, we see him pour water from the rice down the sink
Good video I like your videos because they help people who aren't that inclined in the kitchen which is very helpful and anyone can make your recipes

yes u can, leave the lid on but leave a bit open for the air to escape.
Great video!
What's a good substitute for the rice cooker?

hi greg i only cook a bit of rice at a time say a quarter of cup so do i add 3/4 cup of water and how long do i microwave it for thanks.
10mins in high setting
Such a useful video.
:D
I gave a thumbs up mainly because you washed the rice and the people I watched they didn't wash the rice.

+Ramata Brill thanks
What is the brand of the cooker?
G'day, what wattage is your microwave, as 18 mins in a 700w may be good but the same in a higher watt could be disasterous, what wattage did you use?
Legend
nice tip with adding the rice water to the plants...any chance of a 'Gregs garden' series of video? haha
@PerennialPeace well you will need to get one of those too :p
How much temperature required?
Thanks dude
Worked better than a rice cooker
Thank you 😊
