CLOSED PAN METHOD

         Place 500g (for 10 servings) of rice in a  pan. Measure 1L  of cold water . Bring to the boil, stir, then cover and turn the heat to low and simmer 12 to 15 min. At the end of the cooking time, remove the pan from the heat, still covered, and stand for 5 minutes. The surface of the rice will have small holes in it, this is quite normal and it should be fluffed with a fork before serving. A knob of butter can be added if desired.

      COMBI STEAMER METHOD:

         A popular method for cooking rice – combi steamers give a great result and allow additional flavors to easily be added during the cooking process.

        Place 500g (for 10 servings) of rice in a shallow solid dish. Stir in 750ml of cold water Add half a teaspoon of salt and a knob of butter (optional). Place in the combi steam oven, uncovered. Fill up the water tank as per manufacturing instructions and cook on 100% steam for timings 25min. Remove from the oven carefully and fork through the grains.

       RICE COOKER METHOD:

       Rice Cookers are independently electrically operated and similar to a pressure cooker in design. Cooking time is similar to the covered pan method. Measured amounts of rice and water are placed in a rice cooker, which is then covered and switched on. When the water has been absorbed the rice cooker turns itself off and is able to keep the rice warm for several hours without spoiling.

        Simply place 500g (for 10 servings) into the rice cooker. Add 1 ltr of water and then cook. The rice cooker will automatically switch off once the liquid has been absorbed.
