"The shelves of any store are packed with so many different products that the comparisons and bargain-hunting are downright exhausting. We all want to save as much money as we can during our weekly shopping, but picking the best deals can be overwhelming. There is, however, one common store-bought food that you can scratch off of your list for good: microwavable rice."
"Rice is cheap, and rice is simple to make. It can be intimidating at first to figure out the ideal cook time and ratio of grain to water, but a little trial and error - and maybe a guide to cooking different types of rice - is all you need to perfect the process. Once you figure out what works for you, you'll wonder why you ever wasted money on those microwavable packets."
Microwavable rice packets offer convenience but cost far more than cooking rice from bulk. Regular rice is inexpensive and simple to prepare once ideal water ratios and cook times are learned. A basic 6-cup rice cooker (about $20) plus a 5‑pound bag of rice (around $3.50) produces roughly 36 cups cooked rice, making the appliance pay for itself compared with $1.50-per-packet microwavable servings. Buying bulk rice and using a rice cooker is a one-time expense that reduces per-cup cost. Other options include microwaving regular rice or using alternative cooking methods to avoid disposable, costly packets.
