Be Excellent To Each Other

I attempted a key lime pie after reading this. It was beautifully presented and could win many awards.

Also contained all the limes.

I want all of it.

Love key lime pie!

Great photo!

If you like rice then a rice cooker is a kitchen essential I'd say. Like you could also make a brew by boiling water in a pan like they used to during the blitz or something but it's a bit of a pain.

I had no issues with using a pan except it taking up hob space. And usually I'd put in butter and garlic first and then the dry rice before adding the water and it was always pretty good. I find it almost impossible to mess up making rice. I never measured how much water I was using. But the rice maker has the advantage of keeping the rice hot so you don't have to get your timings right.

I've got a few portions of butter chicken curry that I made and froze so I'll be having one of them tonight with more rice.

You might find you can fry off rice in butter in your rice cooker.

Frying rice in butter before adding the water makes it so much better, I find, and guests aways comment on how much they enjoy the way we cook it.

I take no credit for it, Lady T showed me how to do it this way, my family just used to dump it into a large volume of water and boil the shit out of it before draining.

Because the unit is so small I wouldn't get enough surface area I think (and it's all a big cup shape so the rice would be too deep). If I need to I can always add the extra step and fry it on the hob first.

That said, so far the rice has been decent in this thing, especially using stock instead of water.
