Things you like to use a microwave to do

Trying a microwave rice recipe in the NYT .

Too see if it’s as simple, better, less clean up as promised.

I think this MW has at least 1000 watts, and their rice recipe calls for 155 minutes.

ETA 15 minutes

I don’t usually use this brand. Actually I don’t cook rice much anymore, but husband eats rice daily.

There are several online; I chose this one from NYT because I could cook one cup in a microwave pot I have, but it didn’t turn out as simple as planned.

This recipe is one of those that requires rinsing rice, which I think could throw the 2:1 ratio off, but instead all the water was gone in 10 rather than 5 minutes.

I added a bit more and finished the last five minutes with the top on, fluffed a little, then let sit covered. Not perfect but okay.

Some other "recipes" want much larger cooking vessels.
