Freezed rice are not tasty though.

You should store it for 3-4 days at most.

I used to do this a lot, but haven’t for a while. Rather than the single serve packets, though, i do 2 cups at a time in freezer containers. I love having it ready to toss into something at the last minute.

Thanks! I’ve tried freezing it before, but not like this, and it was just so-so when reheated. I definitely want to use it more often than I make it but sometimes don’t because of the time element. I prefer to make brown rice for the somewhat healthier benefits, and I’m hoping these instructions would be the same for that.

I have to say that I am quite excited about this, guys! The main reason I don’t do rice is because my stove top is usually full of other pots and pans when cooking the meals rice would go well with.

I have written this one down and plan to cook up a big batch of rice to be used over time. Thank you so much!

I own a rice cooker, love it, and use it no less than twice a week. I highly recommend getting one if you’re into rice. They come in various sizes. It can run unattended while you’re out or bathing the kids and it will keep the rice warm and moist for hours, if necessary. It’ll also spare you an element when you’re cooking an elaborate meal. Rice may be easy to cook but a rice cooker is idiot-proof, and well, I’m an idiot. I know I’ve gotten my money’s worth ($25, I think).They are not expensive and can double as a vegetable steamer/bean soaker/bottle sterilizer/soup reheater and more. Great for pot lucks. Hm, I’m going to check the temperature on the “keep warm” setting – I may start making stock in there.

I don’t have many small kitchen appliances (not even a toaster) but I will always have a rice-cooker.
