First Rice Container

My First Rice Container

Hello Everyone! As you know me! I'm a Rice Fanatic, I can eat rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I even make rice for dessert like Biko and Suman Malagkit. Yum! So, I been looking for a Rice Container for quite sometime, small enough to fit on my cabinet and big enough to hold 2-3 weeks supply of rice. I've seen some rice dispenser online and it just doesn't fit on the criteria that I'm looking for until yesterday, I found it! Yahoo!! Can you tell I'm pretty excited? No more messy bag of rice and pieces of rice on the floor. It fits just perfect in my cabinet and there's still much room for my pans and baking stuff on the top. It look a lot nicer and neater now compare before. Yay!

Features:

-The Rice Container or Rice Bucket holds up to 25 lbs of rice enough for my 3 weeks supply or maybe less depends on our daily consumption...(hehehe)

- It has 5 little wheels on the bottom, make it easy to move around without lifting. I can actually push it all the way on the very back after using and pull anytime whenever I need too.

- It goes along with little plastic cup for rice. Makes it more convenient to scope the rice.

- Another features that I like on this Rice Container it that its very easy to open and close.

- Perfect rice storage! wink:)

Got a perfect rice container! Now all I need is the perfect rice to go along with it. I personally love Jasmin Rice- it's long grain Thai rice, have a unique aroma when its cooked. Calrose Rice ( California Rose)- it's medium grain rice. I would say its quite similar to "Masipag Rice" in the Philippines but a little soft when its cooked. Last thing, I gotta have some Sweet Rice/ Malagkit- I usually used this rice to cook sweet dessert and it smells divine when its cook. The sticky element makes it a good quality for Biko and Suman Malagkit which is very popular merienda in the Philippines.

Cooking Rice- The process of cooking rice is pretty simple with the help of rice cooker it makes the whole process a lot easier. ( 2 cups water to 1 cup rice ) if want to do it on stove top. Add chicken stock or beef broth to flavor your rice. I preferred mine natural no extra flavoring.  Fried Rice is always go to in our household for left over Rice sometimes I made little extra just to make some fried rice in the morning. Yum!
