I had posted awhile back that I was having to use 3 cups of water to 1 cup
of rice. But ever since I got my Khun Rikon Spill Stopper Silicone pan
cover, that is no longer. With those proportions and the pan cover, the
rice was soupy and had to be cooked down. Now it is back to the 2 cups of
water per cup of rice. Rice comes out perfectly! This is for white rice of
course. The brown does require more water and a longer cooking time but
whatever proportions listed on the package are working fine! No need to add
extra water.

This leads me to believe that my old pan lid had a very loose seal to it.
Which is probably why it is the perfect popcorn pan!

why do people eat White rice?

it reminds me of Wonder bread

if i'm out in a restaurant,
or at someone's else's house, sure,
but i only make brown rice at home

Brown rice is good once you get used to it. It's chewy which is a
good thing.

Same reason people eat pasta... when did you last eat plain boiled
ziti... depends how prepared. White rice needn't be eaten plain... I
have a huge pot of rice and black bean pilaf planned for tonight
topped with well seasoned tomato sauce braised pork chops that's been
barely asimmer for three hours already. Wonder white makes a pretty
good sardine sammy.

Not necessarily healthier than white rice though:

Traditionally:
(a) Because it can be stored longer (no bran oils to go rancid).
(b) Because it is cheaper to cook (quicker, so less fuel needed).
(c) Because (most) people think it tastes better.

Add in social reasons such as brown rice being viewed as food for the lower-classes only.

The difference between them matters nutritionally if you don't get any other fibre or vitamins in your diet. (Parboiled rice will help with vitamins.) Traditionally, eat a good range of vegetables (lots of various brassicas), and meat if you can afford it, and will get your fibre and vitamins.

In the modern day West, we tend not to eat an almost rice-only diet, and (a) and (b) above matter less, so it's (c).

> it reminds me of Wonder bread

And that's why. Most people prefer white bread over wholemeal, so no surprise to see most prefer white rice over brown.

They eat white rice because they like it. If it reminds you of Wonder
bread, then that's your problem. <shrug>

I like the nutty flavor, but I don't want that every time I eat rice.

If "healthy" means lower on the GI and converted rice wins that one.

I have brown, white, arborio and wild on hand. I'd have brown more
often, but it does take a bit more planning, shall we say. It's not
for working blokes who walk in at 5:45 with no plan for supper, unless
they don't mind eating at 8.

I have also come to appreciate couscous when I need a very fast
starch.

"Cooking rice, water's twice." -- but I add an extra tablespoon or
more just to be safe.

Brown rice is mostly for people that don't eat a lot of rice. I think
it's a food fad. OTOH, I think everything is a fad.

I had rice too, with stir fried shrimp and chicken. I added celery and
onions, frozen broccoli, peas, pretty much anything I had on hand. It
was very good; the sauce was winged with teriyaki sauce, a little sesame
and soy sauces, chicken stock with a cornstarch slurry.

I always have to keep two small shrimp separate and cook them slightly
in the MW for my cat Shamrock. If he doesn't get just a little shrimp
when I'm making it, he'll drive me crazy in the kitchen. It's a rare
treat for him, just like Temptations for the other 3. Shamrock doesn't
like any kitty treats, so he gets an occasional shrimp.

Gee, I guess that is why people usually make rice in a pan with a
tight lid, and use two cups of water per one cup of rice. Where do
you come up with yer horseshit?

We rarely ate potatoes or pasta, when I grew up, but we ate a lot of
white rice. In Louisiana schools, they served white rice, almost every
day, in one form or another; jambalaya, dirty rice, rice & gravy. We had
white rice last week, and it was the first time we had it in about year,
and I absolutely loved it. I try to stay away from flour, sugar, carbs,
so white rice with butter and salt was a real treat. It was what I grew
up with.

White rice with butter and salt is exactly how I like it, too.
Sometimes I'll add a little shredded cheese.

It is rice with bits of other foods in it, giving it a dirty appearance.

I'm not Cajun, but I'll try. Dirty Rice is a dish composed of white
rice cooked in a broth with the Cajun Trinity (onion, bell pepper and
celery) and cooked, chopped giblets.
It's delicious. there are probably variations, and specific
seasonings, but that is the general idea.

Sometimes I just don't feel like having a protein for supper and I
will start as a pilaf with onions and bell pepper and then add
mushrooms, frozen corn and frozen peas. We really enjoy that every
once in awhile.

One reason I've never tried making it is because it calls for chicken
livers and I know my family wouldn't eat it because of that. I
wouldn't object to gizzards and hearts but I don't see those things
sold separately around here.

The liver and giblets are diced small enough that after cooking it is
hard to identify -- I know because my husband eats and enjoys it. I
just don't say what's there. I haven't made it in a long, long time.

You're lucky. In my family, you get the 20 questions game whenever a new

I can't always get away with it -- he is from Iowa where they only eat
meat and potatoes dressed with salt and pepper. My husband surprised
me recently when I put a dish on the table. He correctly identified
the contents, naming things I had never used before. He admitted to
watching Food Network late at night ;o) There are still a lot of
foods on the non-Iowa approved list where I have to cook for myself

Maybe it's a Midwest thing? My mom never used much in the way of seasonings
and at some point even stopped using salt for most things. But my dad would

him and demand to know each and every thing in it before he would eat it.
He was always suspicious if he saw any flecks of anything.

Thanks I hadn't heard of it. I expect it tastes much better than its
name indicates What would you use instead of giblets?
