Uncle Ben's Express Rice

I am not really much of a cook and although I am good when it comes to cooking things like meat and pasta, if there's one thing I really cannot cook it is rice. I have never really understood how to cook it, I know it can be done in the microwave or it can be done on the hob but still I just never really learned I suppose. Anyway, thanks to Uncle Ben's doing their microwaveable sachet's of rice, they have made my life easier as when I want to have a meat dish and want the sauce to be absorbed by something like rice; it means I can still have it even if I don't know how to do it the old fashioned way. Uncle Ben's is owned by Mars Inc. This quite shocked me as I ...  Read the complete review

This is the best type of rice I have eaten ever! I first tried Uncle Ben's rice a few weeks ago and it was amazing. I had it with a curry and I mixed it all in and I have never tasted such a good mix. The tastes were great. The rice is not starchy or anything that it should not be. It does not taste processed and it is good for you! This particular rice is Long Grain and Wild Rice and this is quite different compared tot he others. I find it would suit with things like Chilli con Carne. This is because I don't think I would put it with a curry, I would put wholegrain with that. Uncle Ben's is a great idea, because when you get in from work or uni ...  Read the complete review

I would usually boil my own rice as, for myself, I don't honestly see the point of this type of 'quick' rice as this is one food that is easy enough to cook without the aid of Uncle Ben!

I bought the Long Grain & Wild Rice variety but was shocked to see at least 15 different varieties of this rice on the shelf in Sainsburys; foolishly I had imagined the Express Rice range would basically cover white and brown rice but in reality there is every type you could imagine. Cooking the rice couldn't be simpler, ...  Read the complete review

Ever needed a quick snack but to busy to cook anything, then I recommend Uncle Bens express rice which will microwave in 2 minutes making a perfect snack for 1 or with a meal for 2 people. I really enjoy eating rice as either a snack or with an evening meal and was really happy when Uncle Bens introduced their express rice which can either be microwaved for 2 minutes or cooked in a sauce pan with a bit of water for 3 minutes. I find that the microwavable rice is very handy for people who work constantly and are too busy to either cook or go out for food like me, as it cooks very quickly in the microwave and will stay hot for a long time in the ...  Read the complete review
