Friday Foodables; eggsNrice...

Sandra wanted to know about cooking eggs and rice in the microwave. Aitch wanted to hear me speaking in these vids. I finally got around to filming this... but I don't have a pro camera, lighting, microphone... so you will understand why I don't normally talk on these things! I hope you can make it out. 

The key thing to remember is that the wattage of your microwaves will make a difference to the timings, so always err on shorter times and keep checking the food before adding time if required. Please note that I use large eggs - if you use small eggs, again, adjust timings accordingly.

Regarding rice; most people think only in terms of standard long-grain rice, and then in either white or brown. [Read more on nutritional differences of these.] However, it is definitely worth considering Basmati as an alternative. Especially if you would prefer the advantages of brown rice, with a bit less hassle of preparation (longer soaking and cooking times) and sometimes the digestive kickback. Even white Basmati holds its own against standard brown rice... and you can get brown Basmati if you wish for even more boost!
