>Anyone done this?
Yes.

>>21974860
how do you do it?

oh also I forgot to add, I hate refrigerating rice, it never reheats the same way, so I would like to be able to, when I want to eat a bowl of rice, literally make just a bowl of rice.

Yes and you unlock a great many opportunities for amazing microwave cooking when you master the Power button.

been there. Good luck moving out some day bro

if you aren't broke as fuck, it's work experimenting. You said you're gonna use glass, so I think that would work. Hot water + rice is what a rice cooker does. The texture might be a bit different, but you gotta survive lil bro

>>21974878
you put the rice in the microwave.

>>21974855
>I could make it on the stove in a small pot and just eat out of that but I would like to avoid it.
Why?

>>21974949
doesnt know how to heat the stove plates.
its just circles and numbers, wheres the giant text that says "CLICK THIS" ?

>>21974949
So you shoud not have written "i could make it on the stove". Instead you shouldve written "i cant make it on the stove at all because a stove is too complicated for me".
Be more accutate with your language next time.

>>21974959
>>21974949
I can make it on the stove I just hate eating out of a pot with a handle sticking out.

>>21974880
when you reheat rice from the fridge, put a little bit of water in the bottom and microwave it covered. it will steam and come out basically the same as when it was fresh.

>>21974855
i used to make brown rice in the microwave and it turned out pretty well. can't give you any specifics on time/measurements but it's possible.

>>21974855
do you have a small non stick pan? i got one for eggs from ALDI for 5€. it's only 20cm and i didn't want to get a rice cooker either but at some point i realized that the small non stick pan is no different than a cheap rice cooker. you don't even need a lid. aluminum foil or a plate works too. just wash and cook the rice for a few minutes and then you let it steam

>>21975647
I'll try that.
it still sticks together though

>>21975650
Roughly how long did it take?

>>21975658
I might try this. I just worry about scraping it eating out of it with a spoon and getting cancer from the coating.

>>21975679
>Roughly how long did it take?
for brown rice i think it was 40 minutes, so it was a little faster than on the stovetop. no idea about white rice.

>>21975679
you'll have to get a wooden or a plastic spoon if you really don't want to use plates but who eats rice without anything? you'll need a plate for the meat anyway. it's just one plate. it's not that much work

>>21975689
:D

>>21975691
I eat rice by itself.

>>21975683
holy shit
okay maybe this isn't a good idea then.
I was figuring I could steam it with a small amount of water, like with vermicelli rice noodles it takes 4 or 5 minutes tops.

The heat from the microwaves cooks the rice.

>>21974855
get a 20$ rice cooker

>>21975742
well white rice will still cook faster. brown rice always takes a lot longer. i dunno about 5 minutes though but probably 10-15.

>>21974855
since nobody is gonna actually answer OP and continue gatekeeping FUCKING RICE (i hate this board sometimes god) just throw a tiny bit of water in there and microwave it for like 1 minute or two. that's it.

>>21976087
it might take longer if you aren't reheating already cooked rice though.

>>21976087
will that actually work? I'll give it a shot.

>>21974855
>cover with sandwich paper or whatever
>tear a hole in the top
>do it at 8 power until done

>>21976378
that's for reheating rice and not cooking it from raw

>>21974855
>I would get a smaller rice cooker with a removable bowl that I could just eat out of but I live with my parents and they are hoarders so basically there is no counter space for it.
A rice cooker doesn't need counterspace. You can put it anywhere so long as you have a hot pad that you can use to take the bowl out of it.
Just measure the rice into it, use a bathroom sink to add the water. Use the included paddle to mix/drain/rinse to your preference in a bathroom sink. Then take it to whatever room you want to and plug it in.
I tend to plug mine into an outlet in the dining room because I don't want to steam the underside of my wall cabinets, and it's going to be moved to the table when it's time to eat anyway.
I got a tiny $17 one that maxes out at 4 servings.

>>21976695
Do you eat out of it?

>>21974855
>my parents and they are hoarders
fix your parents first or move out.

I use microwaveable rice pouches, and then dump into a paper bowl.

>>21974855
Idk what carolina rice tastes like but you can definitely cook rice in the microwave. Just cook it like they do in like south asia where they cook it like pasta. Use an excess amount of water, microwave for ??? (do the testing yourself buddy), and when it's perfect texture and softness, take it out and drain the water or reuse it. Easy peasy

>>21977095
The 2 cup capacity rice cookers are about the same size as a cereal bowl. You can eat right out of it if you want to.

>>21977417
I can't do either, it's up to my dad to cut off the credit cards, and I can't afford rent around here right now. I lost my job so I'm trying to finish a degree as fast as possible to get back in the workforce. I had a girlfriend but she dumped me for going back to college instead of getting another job so I lost a potential roommate there.

Personally I’d just do this in my room if i lived with hoarders. It’s safe enough.

They make actual microwave ricecooker (look it up on amazon). They work like microwave steamer. No idea if the result is good though.

Something like this? I want to avoid a plastic one if I can.

>>21977525
Sucks but good luck on the degree and your future career, the temporary suffering will lead to better things

>>21974855
you can cook rice in the over. look up the quantities of rice to water. easy and it works every time.

>>21978002
>the temporary suffering will lead to better things
I really hope so
>good luck on the degree and your future career
Thanks anon :)

>you can cook rice in the over.
Probably will need a while to cool but I could try it. Feels like a waste of heat to heat a whole oven for a small bowl of rice.

>>21974855
Yes, I was doing it and it's easy as fucking. You put water and rice in a pot, set a timer, and you may eat your rice whenever you fancy afterwards. Water I was eyeballing with the finger method. Time _will vary_ depending on the actual power output (and settings) of your microwave so I won't even bother telling you about my settings. You must try them out.

>>21979713
cont btw. on a stove you put 100 grams of rice in a 200 grams of water (keep 1:2 proportions, and they happen to be the same with volume), bring it to boil on high heat, cover the pan with the lid, reduce heat to minimum and set the alarm on your phone for 15 minutes to go back and turn it off. The difference with the microwave method is like 1 minute spend bringing water to the boil - and, possibly - one additional trip to the kitchen to turn it off.
I think that people are really getting lazy recently. Maybe hire yourself a cook or something.

>>21979721
As far as the specifics go - 1:2 proportions and 15 minutes time - it will also vary depending on the specific kind of rice and the heat output of your "minimum" settings. There's no way around trying it out on your particular stove if you want perfect results but you should land in the ballpark with typical settings.
