With all the talk about rice going bad over time, why not store instant rice. It is already cooked so it should not spoil, and it will cook faster. Any pro's and con's to my thinking?

Quoted:
I store both kinds, instant and long. One of my ways of thinking was that i would save so much more gas if i was having to use my propane or white gas stoves for cooking i would use the instant. And if using natural fire or coals for cooking the long grain. I store both also. |

I also use both, instant is nice for camping/hiking and portable meals. When I have more time to make full meals I use regular. Instant however does not give you a longer shelf life than regular and is just a more expensive alternative. The only advantage is it cooks faster.
You know you can make your own for cheap just by blanching and dehydrating the rice.... |
| I store regular but I store lots of Lipton Sides instant rice. Both rice or noodles. They are flavored like chicken and brocoli, etc. They cook fast and one pouch with a can of chicken makes a meal for one hungry or 2 regular. I throw in a can of peas or green beans as a extender. I keep packages with the cans in a ziploc baggie to each baggie is a meal. Grab one and 10 minutes you have a hot meal. WJ |
