Rice can have some astonishingly high arsenic levels. if you aren’t eating it at every meal, it doesn’t matter terribly, but if you are the pasta-like method with draining water is a really good idea.

Until a quick search before this paragraph I thought it was only Indian rice that had arsenic problems. Now I know it’s universal and I need to start rinsing my rice.

this is troubling because i eat rice at least once a day

however i rinse mine because if i dont my rice cooker bubbles over leaving a white film all over the counter

That's all the high quality arsenic. You're leaving money on the table man.

Got a source for that? Tens of millions of Japanese people eat rice two or three times a day and live well into old age without getting arsenic poisoning.

Does anyone drain rice?

The water is supposed to be absorbed in cooking. What.
I've always boiled and drained rice. It works perfectly and is the easiest and most convenient method.

'Cause you don't have to measure how much water you put in or keep an eye on it in case the water all gets absorbed and it burns. Just heat a pot of water, put rice in it, leave it a while, drain.

when I make carbonara for myself I use about 24 eggs, two cartons. Then at the end I pour the egg sauce onto the pasta until it looks like the right amount, then I throw the excess into the rubbish. This is the most efficient, easiest, and tasty way. it has always resulted in a perfect amount of sauce on my pasta.

I wasn't. Someone asked "does anyone do this" and I said "yes, I do, here's why". You're reading a lot into that that isn't there.

It's usually either that or it's something that requires 6 hours of work to make cheaply.

You're not supposed to give babies too much rice porridge because of the arsenic content. Which sucks because you end up with to much rice flour that is only useful for babies. On the other hand, my wife's niece refused to eat anything else and she is dating the most insufferable business major type I have ever met so clearly she got brain damage.

Anyway, when cooking rice you don't have to measure, just add water so it's one finger segment higher than the rice, works every time. Also cook too much rice because frying them with eggs the days after is so good.

Don't know about the price and packaging, but according to their website

quote:

Sugar content (on 55g basis): Lower Sugar Apples & Cinnamon: 8g Sugar. Our regular Apples & Cinnamon flavor contains 14g.

So it's not just because there's less oatmeal per packet.
