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

He's Australian that's why

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.

Rice takes 18 minutes. Garlic Bread takes 18 minutes. Well I wonder what I'll be having for dinner tonight...

Thanks for the video! I always forget how long to put it in my microwave for. Love your accent!

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!

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 😁

great short informative video - thanks Greg

lol your recipes are getting simpler all the time hahaha. The funny thing is there are so many people that have trouble cooking rice. Nice tutorial.

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!

(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.

Do you still use 60% power for 12 mins with 1 cup of rice?

Thank you. I will try your way soon. Will also remember to pour the rice water on my plant roots, great tip.

Thanks Greg now I know how to make rice in the microwave.Good videos keep then coming buddy.Best regards.

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😂

Greg your presentation is so exciting and simple. You are a star.

Great! Thanx a million Greg! Keep uploading i love to watch!

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?

microwave rice!!! what a blessing to finally work out how it works!!!!!

You sir are a Genius! Thank you :)

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.

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.

Great video, mate. Cheers from Sydney🙏🏽

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.

Thanks for this video, hunny cakes, as a real rice fan I appreciate it a lot :D

Just what I needed to know !!!!

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

Love the video and the theme music! lol

I still haven't braved the plastic cheese mustard and ketchup but a legion of my friends are now your fans. Great tip for the plants :-)

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.

Greg is a big fat awesome.

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

18 mins in the microwave but in what mode or what power?

nice one greg

Worked better than a rice cooker

I feel stupid for not knowing how but this helped a lot

Thank you Greg!

de nada amigo mia!

I feed my dogs some rice in the winter along with normal doggy food to warm their bellies but I buy minutes rice not even minute rice sometimes and put water a little rinse or two in the microwave for about 5 minutes and I have found if you make smaller batches of rice it takes less time if you want to go ahead and make you a serving of whatever you cooked it with then get some more later.

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.

in asia the common type of rice that is consumed is the kind which are simply milled and coated by talcum or glucose powder to improve the grains' appearance (its cheap). with this type of rice it is recommended to wash the rice at most 3 times to remove the possible dirt and chemicals that adhered to the grains. there are other types of rice like those "enriched" ones but these are costlier.

You actually do, they spray rice with folate to replace what they remove by shucking the bran off the rice off.

oh yeah I cook it in many different things from the dog bowl itself to coffee cups and I think I did it in a container or some sort one time and it bubbled over on me so always use either a tall pan cup or a item with a lid be safe and have fun.

yup I loved it ;-D

simple and useful Thanks greg

Thank you!!!

Microwave rice cooker .. now that's on my list. Thanks! Question though, what wattage is your microwave? 600 .. 800 .. 1000?

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?
