Over the last couple of years it would be fair to say that my cooking ability has come on in leaps and bounds. Yet no matter how much better I seem to get in the kitchen I never seem to be able to get rice right. We've bought ourselves a rice cooker and still I can never get it just right. So when I spotted Uncle Ben's Express Rice for sale in Sainsbury's a couple of weeks ago I decided that it might be worth trying. They are on offer at the moment in most of the major supermarkets at £3 for 3 rather than the regular price of £1.54.

I don't know about you, but I still find it hard to cook perfect rice. If it's not stuck together, then it's burnt to the bottom of the pan! As a family we eat quite a bit of rice, so I am always on the look out for ideas and fool proof recipes. I am not usually a 'packet girl', preferring to cook from scratch, but on a visit to my local super market I saw Uncle Bens Express Rice on offer, so thought it may be worth a try.

Plus the added bonus is that they come in plain or various flavours. The Thai Sweet Chilli Rice is one of my favourites. The rice is currently on offer at Tescos at 3 for £3.75. It is normally around the £1.50 price, making it not the best value rice, but i think the best value rice in terms of convenience. Packaging: The rice comes in a 250g bright orange pouch. Each pouch contains 2 servings of rice. The beauty of this product is that you cook the rice in the ...  Read the complete review

I recently started college full time and I work part time, so for me cooking from scratch has become a thing of the past. I'd gotten very tired of fast food and was looking for something as close to a home cooked meal that I could get when I found out about Uncle Bens Express Thai Sweet Chilli Rice. I think this is heaven sent when you get home from the office and you're starving and don't want to have to wait too long to have a hot meal. Product Description: Uncle Ben's Thai Sweet Chilli Rice is a delicious sweet and spicy rice, which is ideal when put together with dishes with a Thai influence. There are no artificial colours, flavour or ...  Read the complete review
