Don't have a rice cooker? No problem, this microwave cooker conveniently cooks rice (any many other things) in the microwave.

Also included are recipes for making Chicken Biryani and Vegetable Pilaf with this cooker in the microwave.

Some Easy to Follow Directions:

1. Mix rice and water in the container. A good place to start is two parts water for every part of rice (e.g. 2 cups rice, 4 cups water). You can adjust the ratio through experimentation, depending on how dry or moist you prefer your rice and the power of your microwave.

2. Cover, place in the microwave and set the time. Here are some suggested guidelines for a 700 watt microwave and white rice:

   1/2 cup rice, 9 minutes
   3/4 cup rice, 12 minutes
   1 cup rice, 16 minutes
   1 1/4 cups rice, 20 minutes
   1 1/2 cups rice, 23 minutes
   

3. Let the rice sit in the microwave for five minutes after it turns off. Don't open the door. This will finish the cooking process. You might observe that the rice grains start to orient themselves vertically.

4. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
