A rice cooker is a great appliance. I'm trying not to buy any small electronic appliances (environmental reasons and clutter reduction), but since my good korean friend gifted me one, it's been in heavy use! I saw one at Costco for 20€today

Fluffy Japanese rice from Japan...

But I can genuinely afford only Thailand fragrant rice

Jasmine rice! Is rooster a brand? Also, important to note: never put cooked rice down a garburator! Doing that just cost us a $600 plumbing bill.

Soooo nice!

@Daisys and Diamonds are you Aussie? I always thought Sun Rice was an Aussie brand!

Tilda basmati here too, egg fried if we have Chinese takeout
I feel hungry now

I like short grain Japanese brown rice (genmai) and usually buy Tamanishiki brand on Amazon. It has a different taste from long grain brown rice. My kids think it's white rice and don't complain as much.

HI:

I only use basmati rice (usually Tilda) in my cabbage rolls.. And altho we don't eat a lot of rice otherwise, when we do, it is always Tilda.

cheers--Sharon

Calrose rice here. I don't really like long grain rice, I am not sure why.

 

[Dancing Fire]

This is our brand.

Soooo nice!

across the ditch (Tasman sea) in New Zealand - im pretty sure we don't grow our own rice here so its imported from Aussie

@kipari and @lyra im learning quite a bit today ....i hoped this thread was going to be a sauce of knowledge
i must find an Asian supermarket and look for some of the brands on this thread @baby monster my OH does not like brown rice at all so rice based meals in this house usually do not end well

Tilda basmati blue bag

This is our favourite as well!

Generic white or brown rice in 20lb bags.
Tip always freeze your rice for 48 hours to kill all the bugs, then keep it in the dark to make it last for a very long time.

I find how it is cooked is way more important than brand.
A lot of people/places way overcook it.

Basmati for curry, but in an effort to be healthier, we’ve been having whole grain & quinoa.

I don't like rice at all. Makes me nauseous, my mother made my sister and I eat a HUGE big pan of rice because my sister LOVED rice, I rarely eat it today.

 

[Garnetgirl]

Basmati is my favourite. I like the Tilda brand, which is what I have now. But if it’s not available, I’ll buy whichever one is in my grocery store.

I agree with @Karl_K that people often overcook rice. UGH!
