Rice
Rice swells when cooked and needs to
be cooked in liquid. The proportion of
rice to liquid will vary depending on the
type of rice.
The rice absorbs all the liquid during the
cooking process and so none of the nu-
trients are lost.
Cooking container
Use a solid cooking container. Alternat-
ively, smaller quantities of rice (up to a
cup, approx. 50–150 g) can also be
cooked in a suitable stainless steel
bowl on the rack.
Preparation
Wash the rice before cooking. If you
wash the rice in the cooking container,
drain the water off carefully afterwards.
Tip:
The required volume of liquid can
be determined using scales or the cup
method.
For the cup method, fill a cup with the
desired quantity of rice and then place
the rice in the cooking container. Then
measure the required volume of liquid
(see chart) with the cup and add it to
the rice.
Make sure that the rice is evenly distrib-
uted in the cooking container.
