Question 1

I made rice and it came out hard.  I suspect its because I live at an elevation of 7400 ft.  Do you have instructions for high elevation cooking?

Accepted Answer

When you go above 5000', you need to experiment.  Consider the recommended water ratio at 5000' is TWO cups per one cup of rice, and 20-25 minutes to cook in a microwave.  You might try 2 cups : 1 cup, and cook for 25 minutes at 75% - 100% power.  At your altitude, even the humidity and pressure becomes a factor, and thus an enclosed / pressure rice cooker might be better for you.  You can also try pre-soaking your rice before cooking it.

Question 2

Will this fit in a smaller size microwave?  How tall is it?

Accepted Answer

It  is about 6 inches, I think is would fit in to a small microwave.

Question 3

Any issues with getting the rice cooker out of the microwave at end of cooking - HOT handles?

Accepted Answer

i dont have this unit - I do have a similar setup, same brand,  for a microwave cooker - just not the rice - but obviously it is hot when you take it out  - as it has been heated in the microwave. Simply use potholders and you will be fine

Question 4

can I used parboiled rice?

Accepted Answer

Cooking parboiled rice is easy, and is basically the same as preparing ordinary rice. Boil 2 parts water and a pinch of salt, add 1 part rice, then cover the pot and reduce the heat. Some varieties need to be simmered for 45 minutes, while American-style converted rice has been precooked and only takes 20 to 25 minutes.[1] You can also cook it in the microwave or use a rice cooker. While parboiled rice is a distinct type of rice, the term could also refer to partially cooking white or brown rice. To parboil rice on your own, simmer it until it's al dente, or a bit crunchy, then finish cooking it with your soup, pilaf, or risotto.
