# Test Cookings

|
|
I don't have much rice with me (Basmati, in this case), and I'm away from home for the week, so I only used a single scoop of rice.
|
|
I believe the provided cup is 100ml (it is marked such that I assume this, and the volume appears correct), so my volume of rice was about 90ml and water 140ml.
|
|
I set the rice cooker going and left it alone for 14 minutes or so, expecting to return to watch it finish.
|
|
To my surprise, however, it was already done, dutifully warming my rice.
|
|
|
|
Not having added any salt or other things to make it more interesting, it was plain, but not unpleasant.
|
|
Next time, I was try a fraction more water and adding some salt as I should have.
|
|
Promising results though, as I have never cooked rice before, in a pot or otherwise.

Tried again, 100ml of rice, slightly too much water (160ml), salted this time.
|
|
Appeared slightly too wet, but perfectly tolerable.
|
|
Put it on to warm for a minute or so longer, then carried it off.
|
|
By the time I had gotten some chillie to go with it, it was just fine.
|
|
Very much met expectations (good), very much worthwhile in my mind.
|
|
|
|
Might try a slight bit more salt next time, but all seems well.
