Right you are. I'll give it a try and let you know. Thanks, again.

Thanks. Do you have a suggestion for proportions? I am starting with a cup and a half of rice.

I am contemplating adding porcini powder to a batch of rice that I am about to make. What do you think? Would it be a waste of that good stuff?

Terrific ideas. Thanks, all. Since I didn't post my query until I was about to start cooking (typical), I made a sort of stew, heating the fish in a can of diced tomatoes with basil and garlic, adding a handful each of frozen corn and peas and sprinkling in some hot pepper flakes. It was decent...

My mother used a pressure cooker to make a few of her best dishes. I can hear it working now

Interesting that you do that. The late, lamented Roger Ebert wrote a book dedicated entirely to the rice cooker: "The Pot And How To Use It. The mystery and romance of the rice cooker".

Thank you. I cooked it last night on the stovetop and it cooks a lot faster than rice. No need to break out the rice cooker.

I am about to start a recipe for Rice Cakes that calls for the rice to be cooked to a "starchy and soft" state. I assume that requires cooking it longer and with more liquid than usual. Is my assumption correct and, if so, how much more water will do the trick and, if I use a rice cooker, does...

Thanks Thank you, all who responded to my query. This was my first entry to the site, so I don't know if I am doing this correctly. I now realize that, if I expect help with a meal that I intend to prepare that day, I need to act sooner in order to receive timely replies and to acquire...

Made a batch of corn muffins the other day and forgot to serve them. I also have a lot of homemde chicken stock and the leftover chicken from the main meal. I'm looking for a nifty way to combine these three ingredients (with others, of course) to make a one dish meal, casserole, or the like...
