Have you ever had a stovetop rice fail? Burnt rice, crunchy rice, boil-overs… the list of what-could-go-wrong with rice is LONG. But here’s a solution for you… Cooking rice in the microwave is a total game changer. This method is hands-off, consistent, and ready in less time than you'd think. Here’s how to get the most out of every batch:

• Cook: Rinse your rice with a strainer, add water, and steam (covered) in the microwave on low power until fluffy and tender. No stirring, no babysitting.
• Serve: Fluff and serve it right from your Anyday dish. Keep the rice warm by keeping the glass lid (vent open) until ready to serve.
• Store: Pop the lid back on and refrigerate leftovers, or freeze 1/2-cup portions in silicone Anytime Freezer Trays for later.
• Reheat: Need a quick side? Reheat a portion in a Small Square Dish with the glass lid. It won't be clumpy or dry, we promise.

Whether you're using it as the base for a grain bowl or a last-minute side, rice cooked in the microwave turns out perfectly every time.
