RICECOOKINGCHART
HELPFULHINTS
• Although the rice measure holds about 5 ounces of uncooked rice; the cooked rice
is given in 8-ounce cup measures.
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using kosher salt, you
may find you want to add a little more than if using table salt. Use about 3/4 tsp. Kosher
salt to each cup of uncooked rice.
• White rice should be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
• Brown rice has a limited shelf life; store it for no more than 1 month before using.
• Try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for additional flavor.
If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.
