Uncle Ben's Express Rice : Long Grain Rice product reviews

This is a brilliant all-rounder when it comes to meals, while the flavoured rices are great, you can't go past your regular long grain rice as a perfect compliment to virtually any meal, and it can be used as the basis for many varied and tasty meals as well.

The fact that it only takes 2 minutes to heat the rice means that you can have a quick and simple meal ready in as little as 3-4 minutes.

As many mothers I have and assortment of recipes and some due to the length of cooking time they sit in a drawer and collect dust or get tossed around. I was taught spanish dishes as a child and I have a fantastic sweet rice dish. More of a dessert then anything and its awesome. I usually cook the rice for twenty minutes and let it rest so it gets all fluffy the usual routine. The other day I thought lets try using this long grain rice instead of making my own. It turned out just as if I made it myself and not to mention took half the time. This flavor is my favorite because there is so much you can do with it. This is a must have for any kitchen!

After a long day of travelling, we arrived home... hot, tired and not at all interested in cooking, so something quick and easy was definitely on the books!
I chucked some chicken and vege dumplings in the steamer, grabbed out the packet of rice and a packet of steamed veges... Hey, I work hard, you are allowed to cheat sometimes!
I followed the instructions on the back of the rice packet and popped it in the microwave for the alloted time, poured it into our bowls and topped it with the veges and dumplings. Easy peasy, and tasty too... especially with a li'l soya sauce

Now - the rice...
It poured out of the packet well, separated well, and didn't look gluggy, sticky or stodgy.
On tasting, it was... rice tasting
It was good... wasn't sticky, starchy, gluggy, gooey, stodgy or any of those things rice shouldn't be. That is usually the problem with any pre-packaged rices I've tried in the past, but there was none of that with this lot...

Over all, it's a winner if you are wanting something quick and easy for two - I don't think it would feed many more.

very easy to prepare, a great meal for hubby who is a Police Officer. Fast to prepare and with a tin of tuna and sauce he has a very quick tasty meal.
