Ive finally got around to doing rice in the IP
95 here outside, 89 inside
using 'Hip' as a guide :
pp. 137 :
perfect long grain rice :
1 1/2 LGWRice 3 cups water 1/s tsp salt 1 Ts butter or oil
HP 4 min 10 minute release
N.B.: perfect Basmati
rinse several times until water clear ( i use Tilda , the only rice I have that's not here nor there )
soak rice 15 min in fresh water, drain
1 1/4 C water in the IP, then as PLGR above
2 minutes , 10 minute release HP
Ive done rice in my Fuzzy for ever. 55 min I do rinse, but I don't soak.. all the books say soak all my Indian friends soak
'Hip" suggests this maximized longer basmati rice
Indian rest here and perhaps N. or the Boarder have Long Basmati , indeed our LuchLady friends have commented 0n this discrepancey
'Hip' : " when prepared traditionally Indian rice needs both a good rinse and a short 10 - 15 minute soak
( then draining ) to help the grains stretch out into amazingly long kernels "
pp 138
please not the times
here it is :
I do have a digital micrometer and might have measured the grain you see at 11: 30 at the top
soooo hot here, having no ref re the same rice w/o a soak
Ill leave that to the LunchLadies north of the boarder. maybe it will get cooler there sooner than here.
the rice was fully cooked but too wet for me. understanding that Illl just use 1 cup water and a rounded cup of tilda next time will
for sure fix that. so i let if on warm for a while, stirred then on the place here :
left it there for 10 - 15 as well it's never going to be cooker than 85 !
better
at the TJ's thread I finally and this :
very nice for the temp outside and inside.
as ive said HomeMade SV CkBr is much better as Ive added thai.indian to the bag and chilled and Fz
I d guess MC ( The Cat ) is pleased I didn't go out for take out and melt on the HighWay
Rice in the IP from now on for me, with a personal adjustment of the water amount to suite me
