Thread resurrection. Because I wonder if anyone has experience of microwaving brown basmati?
Just experimented with a couple of combined suggestions made previously (thanks nicknack, SandyV, Gus et al) and with white basmati and am impressed! Seemingly better than my usual cheapo rice cooker and rinsing and soaking and stuff.
150g white basmati (not rinsed nor soaked) and 300g of boiling water into a Pyrex bowl. 700W uncovered for 5 minutes, remove stir and a further 700W uncovered for 5 minutes. Remove, cover and rest for 5 minutes = worked a real treat
So any brown rice tips please?
