A microwave rice steamer is a kitchen appliance used to cook rice in a microwave oven. It typically consists of a plastic or glass bowl with a lid and a removable steamer basket. The steamer basket is used to hold the rice, while the lid helps to create a steamy environment that cooks the rice evenly. Microwave rice steamers are a convenient and easy way to cook rice, and they can be used to make a variety of rice dishes, from simple white rice to more complex pilafs and risottos.
Using a microwave rice steamer is simple. First, measure out the desired amount of rice and rinse it in a fine-mesh strainer. Then, add the rice to the steamer basket and add water according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Place the steamer basket in the microwave and cook on high power for the recommended amount of time. Once the rice is cooked, let it stand for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork and serving.
