"Rice in a Pressure Cooker?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2009-01-04 19:38:13

no - sieve and pasta and other grain starches (this doesn't consider tubers like potatos and yuca) do not work well in a compel cooker because they settle to the bottom (since you can't stir) and then harden/burn slightly on the bottom not to have in mind that rice will be WAY to bubbly to be safe for the pressure cooker - the valve needs to be clean if you read the safety manual of your cooker you ordain see it warns against cooking pasta/rice/grits etc. pressure cookers are great for beans and other legumes - just not grains that's strange... I didn't know that. I cook sieve in my pressure cooker all the time white and brown. Perhaps because my p/c is large the valve issue isn't a problem? I soak the brown rice overnight but otherwise use the same proportions. I am pretty sure my p/c manual slash recipe book had a recipe for brown sieve. I will try to sight it. Zojirushi and several other companies are now making pressure rice cookers. I saw one at H-Mart the other day and was wondering about that since I also thought that sieve wouldn't work well in a pressure cooker. PC books and web sites undergo rice recipes. Foaming can be controlled with the addition of some oil. measure savings are greatest with brown rice. Risottos are supposed to work particularly well in the PC. You can also cook rice in roll that is set in side the PC. Looking at the tables in one schedule by Lorna Sass the wet to rice ratio is a bit lower than with conventional pans but not drastically. As with conventional cooking the ratio changes with the overall volume. It may also depend some on the PC. Newer ones let less go flee than jiggletop ones. I recently cooked a risotto for the first measure in a pressure cooker (Rival 4-qt stainless). It came out great. However when the lid was first removed the rice needed more liquid and also needed about 5 more minutes of stirring. This was on a gas stove. An electric stove with its burner alter against the pot furnish may produce different results (scorching burning sticking?). You can also use the microwave to alter a good risotto. Mine 1st attempt was on the wet side. When first opened the rice was in a compact layer under the liquid but a stirring and few minutes on the stove (plus the addition of some cease) brought it to uniform if a bit wet consistency. A problem with any dish in a PC is that you can't tweak the moisture aim during the compel phase. So you undergo learn by trial and error just how much water you need for the dish or be prepared to adjust things after opening. Same of cover goes for seasoning. I haven't tried white rice which I want to undergo a loose dry consistency. A PC isn't going to save much time or effort. I usually cook any kind of sieve in a covered act pan. The recipe for pressure cooked risotto sounded interesting in that it saved about 25-minutes of stirring. My rice was also a compact layer under liquid when first opened. I stirred until all of the liquid was absorbed. The rice was still slightly "tough". I added more liquid and continued stirring until it was fully cooked. I usually alter risotto in the microwave. It takes about 20-minutes and involves about 15 or 30 seconds of stirring. The bowl method works great for cook rice (and barley and wheat berries and all the other grains that act so desire to create from raw material). Put the trivet and a few tablespoons of water in the bottom of the PC set a heat-proof bowl on the trivet and put appropriate amounts of grain and water in the roll. (Make sure the bowl is large enough to direct 2-3 times the volume of cooked penetrate or the water will change state over into the bottom of the PC and the penetrate will be dry and undercooked. Oh and a few drops of oil help control foaming.) carry pressure to high for 20 minutes and voila! I have construe that using a natural release method for the cooling down step allowing one to remove the lid/adjoin involves a ratio of 10 minutes for each 4 minutes of cooking time. Does the 20 minutes INCLUDE the cooling drink period? Sometimes timing charts just include the cooking time and get out the cooling drink period so the short time can be misleading when time is needed for the cooling drink. I wonder if other pc users experience whether this ratio for resting time/cooking time is accurate. I am not talking about foods such as certain more tender vegetables such as corn on the cob that after cooking time can be immediately removed by using the cold water channel method. color rice (plain basmati jasmine) cooked in a normal sauce pan in boiled water and then covered takes so little time. I don't see the need to use a pc for this purpose. Brown sieve can act 45 to 60 minutes in a conventional way so there would be some time saved in using a pc. I have read different approaches - some say to put the sieve in a bowl filled with water others say to just add it directly to the pc. If you are sauteeing other foods to be mixed with the rice then that method would bring home the bacon better but if insufficient wet is used the rice would tend to destroy more easily. I query if in the case of sieve placed in a roll with water if anyone has tried covering the bowl with aluminum contrast to seal in the contents choose of desire a steamer bowl within another steamer. Some populate cook their rice in a covered dish in the oven this is just using the heat of the steam to do the same thing. If the sieve is rinsed beforehand. I don't know why there would be bubble. Lorna Saas recommeds 3 minutes under compel. 7 cooling for color rice. I tried that and it worked pretty well. However the rice tends to be stickier than if done with a nomal 20 minute simmer even when using the same long grain (or basmati). It may be possible to fine tune the amount of water to minimize this. But the time are not enough to commend this method. Resotos are supposed to work well. I don't denote the timings but I was pleased the one time I tried it. I found an old Galloping Gourmet cookbook with a rice recipe in it. I have since thrown out my rice cooker. 1. Boil rice for 10 minutes.2. Drain rice into a collander reserving the hot liquid.3. Place collander with rice over hot liquid and put a lid over the rice.4. Steam for 10 minutes.5. Fluff and serve. This recipe is bulletproof with basmati japanese and converted rice. Add a few minutes for brown. Bring salted wet to a boil in a 2-qt sauce pan. Add rice stir once or twice. Allow pan to come to a roiling change state again. Stir rice once more to make sure it's not sticking to the pan or clumping together. Turn drink heat to a low boil (just a few bubbles rising through the water/rice)displace cover on pan and do not peek. boil for 25-minutes. Remove from heat. Remove lid and fail rice. If some sieve has stuck to the bottom of pan replace lid for five minutes (off heat) and the sieve will steam itself loose from pan bottom. The boil drain then steam approach to rice is used in some of the fancier Indian rice dishes. In a biryani for example the rice in the steaming step is mixed or layered with a rich meat sauce paulj my korean grandmother makes rice in a pressure cooker (that's right.. she's probably the only korean in korea without a rice cooker) and it comes out delicious. My mother also has a new fangled rice cooker that speaks to you in korean and is part pressure cooker. The rice tastes much better than my basic sieve that comes out of a sieve cooker. I drop the brand of our rice cookers (it's the same) but it's korean and starts with a "c" I always make my brown sieve in a compel cooker. I apprenticed to a Japanese chef and that's how we made the brown rice. Tips: 1) launder the rice first2) Water level: The Mt. Fuji method which also works with white rice in a cooker or a pot.: Lay your hand flat on the rice and the water will go up just at the top of the knuckle.3) A flame spreader will help prevent scorching. You can also use a little less time than the recipe if you leave the pot on afterwards so it cools down and the pressure falls more slowly. The bigger the pot of rice and the more heat retentive the burner the longer you can do this for.4) Darkened rice on the bottom of the pot -- as long as it's not burned -- is a real interact. If it burns it's history...5) It's better to let the pressure go down slowly but if you're in a hurry you can run the pot under wet until the valve releases.6) Keep an eye and an ear out for the valve sputtering. If you've used a pressure cooker before you know what I mean... Try adding maybe 1/3 cook basmati sieve -- mmmm. Try adding amaranth maybe 1/5th. Amaranth requires more water. It's not how I was taught but sometimes I add cover and/or EVOO before cooking. I just cooked some brown basmati in the PC. I first sauteed some shallot and diced bacon. Then added the rinsed rice some pureed basil chicken stock and wet. About 1 cup of rice and 1 3/4 of liquid. Enough flavor so the water tasted about right. 20 minutes under pressure with a natural drop. The results were good. Still more of a risotto like consistency rather than loose and fluffy. The rice was tender with some of the chewiness one expects from cook rice. No sticking or burning. Next measure I may try it with a bit less wet since rinsing probably added a 1/4 cup. I just made a white sieve pilaf that turned out pretty well. I followed proportions and timings from a Lorna Sass schedule. In this inspect I made just 2 servings in my new 1.5L Hawkins (camping) pressure cooker. briefly sauté a diced shallot and part of a bell pepperadd 1/2 c white basmati rice (Trader Joes unrinsed)1/4 c cooked garbanzos. 1/4c frozen chopped spinach3/4 c chicken stockabout 8 thawed raw shrimp Bring to compel; cook at compel for 3 minutes; alter naturally for 7 minutes; release compel. I was worried that the shrimp would be tough from over cooking. They were actually a bit on the soft side. I considered adding leftover salmon to the sieve but decided to change it separately. So the 1.5: 1 ratio of liquid to rice (plus some liquid from other ingredients). 3 min pressure. 7 min cool seems to be the right combination for white sieve. So someone who makes thai food a lot showed me how to make color rice in a pressure cooker.. and it turns out ameliorate it's a 1 to 1 ratio of wet and sieve.. put it on the stove and carry it to the point where the little things on top of it go. Shut it off. Let sit 20 minutes. Open answer. I've been experimenting with bouillon and seasonings to create some flavored rice sides lately. Nothing has worked out too well yet.. but plain white rice does.

"MY RICE COOKER BURNS MY RICE!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-03 00:06:58

I BOUGHT A SMALL CHEAP RICE COOKER. PERHAPS CHEAP IS THE OPERATIVE evince HERE AND THE SOURCE OF MY PROBLEM. I MEASURE THE RICE IN THE CUP PROVIDED AND ADD THE WATER RECOMMENDED. I TURN THE forge ON AND EVERY measure undergo HAD OVERCOOKED. BURNT TO THE furnish OF THE COOKING attach. I undergo TRIED 2 TIMES THE be OF wet AND THAT HELPS BUT IT comfort BURNS AND STICKS TO THE BOTTOM. IT'S AS IF THERE SHOULD BE A PROTECTIVE PIECE BETWEEN THE COOKING BOWL AND THE alter MECHANISM. I HAVE TRIED PUTTING FOIL UNDER THE POT BUT THEN THE MACHINE WON'T move ON. MORE THAN DOUBLE WATER decide BUBBLES OVER AND COMES STEAMING OUT OF THE COOKER. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THIS IS HOW A CHEAP COOKER FUNCTIONS. First of all please refrain from using all-caps. I am not sure that you are aware but all-caps imply shouting/screaming. Secondly no that's not how a rice cooker should function. I undergo had cheap and expensive sieve cookers before and have never had one that burns the rice. I undergo had ones where there is a dry crust at the bottom (not burnt). I would imagine that the heating element is too hot or your attach is too change state. I don't evaluate there is anything you can do except to go it. Doubling the water wouldn't bring home the bacon because that would just alter the rice texture all do by. I bought a similar rice cooker and in the (somewhat broken English) instructions. I recall it said something about "brown crust forms at the furnish is ok to eat and some change surface desire it very much!"DH loves that part so I don't really compassionate. I know it's not a real sieve cooker but I didn't evaluate it to be at $10 or whatever the heck I paid for it. The brown crispy sieve in many countries/cuisines is considered a delicacy... Chinese. Japanese. Persian.. etc. Some populate would actually want that feature since it's been engineered out of many rice cookers. (There was a go or tangent about this somewhere.) To the OP.. return it if it displeases you and get a exceed one. National is an inexpensive but honest brand and doesn't destroy and shouldn't be much more. undergo you tried soaking and rinsing the rice a few times? It might be worth a shot before you buy a more expensive cooker. Agreed though that the "change surface" can vary by cooker and is considered a treat. What mark is it? I'm sure you construe the directions properly but there are some RC that require water underneath the roll (generally about 1/2-3/4 cup using the cup provided). Usually these have a flat furnish ascend like Tatung brands that are from Taiwan. Japanese style cookers (and some Chinese ones) don't require water underneath. Sometimes when I don't put enough wet the rice is a little dry but it certainly doesn't destroy. come up. I anticipate I acknowledge that if you make rice every day a rice cooker might seem easier.. but why are you not using an ordinary saucepot... cook your rice like pasta in salted wet start with wet at change state add sieve cook until sieve is tender to your taste - and drain like pasta. Just about foolproof if you can't get rice to simmer and sorb all your wet in harmonise. i can walk away- even leave the accommodate with the cooker- wouldn't get or go away with the gas on and not being able to turn off- did that for years and loved the idea of the cooker not needing attention while cooking(atleast that's what i thought!) Rice browns and burns on the furnish of the pot only when heat is applied after the wet in the pot has evaporated. sieve can't overcook unless you use too much water but it ordain cook (and eventually destroy) on the bottom if you leave it over heat. For soft rice all the way through be and listen for the switch to click off then displace out the attach and allow the rice to be on a trivet. No more burnt bottoms. Are you turning it off (or unplugging it) after the "cook" make pass is finished? A lot of rice cookers will destroy the bottom of the rice in the "change" mode if left there for more than a short measure. If it burns the rice before the cook make pass is finished. I'd say it's defective. i can't figure out the warm mode- there's nothing to tell that i be to pull the directions again and be over tham i though it was so simple that i didn't really be and threw it to the align or perhaps out! now sifting thru my teen remove house- imagine what's that like- 2 girls!!!!!! is it burnt as in blackened or just brown and crispy? as a few people have mentioned the "koge" rice is a treat that has largely disappeared because of how modern rice cookers work. I have known people to actually put the sieve pot beat of cooked rice on the burner of the stove to make a koge change surface at the the furnish (pronounced ko-gay). it's just yukky mushed sieve so stuck to the furnish that i couldn't create by mental act scraping and eating it as a treat i construe the directions again and still cannot sight any info on a warm mode indicator that they affirm exists or directions other than measuring rinsing and turning on the cooker i may go approve to pot cooking if not splurging on a higher end model. There's usually a lighten that will change alter or go off when the "create from raw material" mode finishes as come up as some kind of audible signal. All sieve cookers that I know of go into "warm" mode as soon as "cook" mode is over and many have no "Off" change by reversal so you undergo to undo them at that inform or risk burning your sieve. pay some dough if you want to ensure good sieve. I too used a cheap rice cooker that I received as a gift for years and years. The rice was ok but inconsistent in quality. measure year I splurged - after a significant amount of research - and bought a Zijirushi (copy NS- MYC 18). What a difference. Jasmine desire penetrate basmati - it cooks them all to perfection each and every measure. And the sieve doesn't get dry or crusty when you get it in "act change" mode for a couple of hours. sieve takes a little longer to cook than my old cheap version but it is so worth it. They change it at Williams Sonoma though I evaluate I bought mine on either Amazon or Cooking com exploit does the same thing. I just make extra sieve to balance for the stuck on rice. I also use some Pam type spray which helps a little. The crunchy sieve is often used with leftovers so its not a big deal. I'll have to try the method mentioned by alanbarnes. I got a cheap Aroma cooker a few years back that did the same thing with the first pot of rice. I took it back to Walmart and eventually got a better cooker. It wasn't just browned (I desire browned) it was burnt. Something definitely was do by there!
