    The micro wave packets are the expensive and lazy option.

    Buy a bag of long grain rice and follow the instructions on the label.

    Only buy brown rice if you want to be chewing the damned stuff for half an hour..it's really hard work.

    There are so many different rices. good for different things!

    Two basic cooking methods- pasta/ Middle Eastern/South Carolina style where it is cooked in large amounts of boiling water, and Chinese style of steaming.

    Brown rice is the best rice you can get, its healthier than any other type... It takes a little longer to cook but definitely worth it, its yummy.. i boil it in water for 30-40 minutes!

    Brown rice is good. If you want white rice though Basmati is good because it has a lower glycaemic index. I just use a rice cooker.
