This is also part of why fuzzy logic cookers take longer.
Thats how I understand it at least. I guess I put too much research into my purchases... Buying my mini fridge wasn't this difficult...
I thought you were cooking rice? I really missed something. Cheep white stuff you cook as a filler?

Heck. That's way more complex than I want.
Minute rice: Mix equal parts rice and boiling water. Salt & butter to taste.
Basmati (white) rice: Boil 1/2 cup in as much water as you want and drain and rinse.
And the Basmati *always* turns out more tasty than the Minute Rice. :)
(I did Minute rice all the time until my sister just told me that Brown Basmati would have the lowest glycemic index which should be better for my wife. So I grabbed a package of Tilda pure Basmati white rice and love it.)
