as long as you make fresh rice. rice never keeps in the fridge.

Yeah, you can't just reheat rice, it turns into little pellets. However, I have found that rice that is refrigerated overnight is best for making fried rice, so try using it for that instead of throwing it away!

Basmati has a different texture from our normal "white rice" because of the length of the grain, and for a lot of people, texture is an important element in enjoying their food.

But the main virtue of Basmati is the Indian cuisine that accompanies it, which is really where I was headed with the suggestion.

It has something to do with drawing the moisture out, which is what happens in the fridge, more so than simply leaving it out uncovered, I believe.

It's either basmati or jasmine rice for me. I keep both in the house. I have an Indian market near me. The selection is huge and prices are terrific. Brown rice never did it for me. I like the idea of rice leftover from the rice cooker for frying. I've never gotten my fried rice right no matter how many times I've tried. My rice cooker is my best friend. I'll mince some garlic or onions and what ever other things and toss them in. Push the button and walk away.

i got my girl a rice cooker last year for Christmas. we always did it on the stove top.

man, i never realized what a huge pain it was until i got her that rice cooker. makes life a lot easier. i hated that starchy water boil-over shit all over the stove.

Prime rib is one of the MOST flavorful pieces of meat you can get,,,but only if done properly. Grilling steaks is the best way to LOSE flavor since your drippings are lost, which is where 90% of flavor in steaks comes from to begin with.

I use a simple round weber with oak coals and smoke my steak for 10 minutes. I never expose it directly to the coals, instead I sit it on a brick on the grate. After 10 minutes I remove it and place it on a perforated pizza dish in my oven under the broiler for 5 minutes on each side for medium rare. I never buy steak less than 1 1/2 inches thick.

I put a little sea salt and pepper and a little Lawry's salt on it AFTER cooking and that's it!

I recently did a nice NY strip (I buy the NY Strip roast and cut my own steaks 1 1/2 - 2 inches thick and leave the fat layer on!) I used the exact method described above...smoked for 10 minutes then broiled for 5 minutes on each side. sea salt, pepper and Lawry's.

results....

and here's my prime rib video trust me, there's PLENTY of flavor in this!

Sounds uncomfortable. Did you ever get burns on your ass from it?

Sounds like SOMEONE has poor aim.

For New Years Ever dinner tonight, we're having t-bone steaks with home made mash potatoes, also some mushrooms in gravy, white rice, some sweet corn on the cob and biscuits. Either ice cream or cheesecake for dessert.

Bloody hell, no-one's cooking here. The local curry house is bringing us dansak for the BFF, chef's special butter chicken for me. Pile of poppadums with mint sauce, he'll have a cheese nan and I think I'm going to shun my normal keema nan and just have boiled rice with it for a change. And usually free bhajis.

Then we drink, obviously.
