How do you cook long grain rice?+
For a commercial kitchen, use about 1 to 1.75-2 parts water or broth. Ratios shift depending on your equipment: rice cooker vs. convection oven. Rinse the 8 kg bags thoroughly to remove starch so it doesn't stick. Bring water to a boil, add rice, drop heat to low, cover tight, simmer until water's gone (18-20 minutes stovetop, longer for big cookers). Let it rest 10-15 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
How to prepare long grain rice?+
Rinse the ROOSTER rice under cold water until it runs clear. That's the main thing for preventing stickiness and getting separate grains. For an 8 kg batch, use a large mesh colander. Then 1.75-2 cups liquid per cup of rice. Bring to a boil, stir in rice, reduce heat to low, cover, cook until liquid's absorbed. Rest it off the heat for 10-15 minutes for the fluffiest result.
How to store ROOSTER Long Grain Rice for maximum shelf life?+
Keep unopened bags in a cool, dry place away from direct sun and moisture. Once you open a bag, transfer unused rice to an airtight food-grade container. That stops pests, moisture, and odours. Keep the temperature below 20°C (68°F) and it'll hold its quality for a long time. Critical for managing inventory in high-volume settings.
How to clean equipment after using ROOSTER Long Grain Rice?+
Rinse pots, rice cooker inserts, and utensils with hot water right away. That stops starch from drying and sticking. For cookers, use a non-abrasive sponge and warm soapy water to get residue off. Dry everything fully before storing to prevent bacterial growth. For big batch equipment, follow guidelines, especially with starchy residues, to keep hygiene standards in a pro kitchen.
