The shame-free guide to putting your microwave to good use.
Cooking rice in the microwave won't save you any time, but it is foolproof and easier to clean than a starch-crusted pot—plus it frees up stovetop space to make any accompaniments you desire. I won't go so far as to argue that microwaving rice is as good as owning—it only really works well with white rice, and it makes just a couple of servings—but it's a close second when you want a modest amount of rice and need your burners for something else.
The method itself is simple: just rinse any type of white rice in warm running water, then transfer it to a bowl with the volume of liquid recommended on the package. We add an extra two tablespoons of water to compensate for evaporation, and cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel . Microwaved on high for 10 minutes, followed by 15 more minutes on medium, it yields a bowl of perfectly cooked, fluffy rice.
The real upsell here, though, is that you have full control over what goes into that bag before it hits the microwave: Brown-bag popcorn is easily customized with whatever seasonings you fancy. Check out
