Cracking my head on how I can cook a brown rice porridge at the quickest time (we all know that it takes quite some time to cook a very soft brown rice porridge) and at the same time to save electricity. I read several blogs and websites recommending many different ways such as using slow cooker, using rice cooker, and grinding rice into powder before cooking.
Thus, I decided to try out using my rice cooker which has a rice porridge function. Since baby does not eat a lot, we cook around only 1/4 cup or less of rice and some water. Result? It doesn't turn out to be very good. Rice is still lumpy or hard (maybe I put too little water). Taste wise..erm..not very nice too. I felt that it is a waste of electricity too. Besides, I need to wait for some time for the rice cooker to complete the cooking which is sometimes a hindrance especially when we do impromptu outings to the parks, shopping malls, etc.
Then I decided to try grinding these rice. We have a Philips HR2118 Blender which also has a chopper function.
This blender really does it job, it took us like less than a few minutes to grind the rice into the consistency we wanted. I tried to cook the rice by putting around 1.5 to 2 tablespoon of rice and some water, and in less than 15 or 20 minutes, the brown rice porridge with some frozen mashed vegetables and fish is cooked. :)
We also grind spagetti and barley too. Really save our time cooking time. Below contains a picture of the grounded barley.
By the way, I created my very 1ST video on how to prepare stuff. In this video, it shows how to prepare the brown rice for grinding. Hopefully, it may be helpful to those who need this information. :)
