Title: Riso Nero
Post by: breadsauce on December 09, 2012, 08:45:53 am

I love black rice but, oh boy, it can stain.  I haven't even cooked it in the rice cooker, just my old enamel pans and they need a bit of scrubbing to get the staining off. 

Has anyone cooked black rice in their TM?  Was it a good decision or did it stain the bowl/lid etc? 

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a recipe you are going to follow SB?  If not there is one here (http://ricksthermomixblog.blogspot.com.au/2008/07/sticky-black-rice.html) and he doesn't mention anything about this problem.

There's another here (http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/recipes/black-sticky-rice/17011) but it's a mixture of black and white glutinous rice.

Thank you very much Judy.  They soak the rice much longer than I do so that may be the trick to get rid of the worst of it.

I didn't have anything in mind, I substitute black rice for white rice a great deal, the nutty flavour is wonderful.  Also good if someone has a nut allergy and you don't want to lose the nutty flavour of a dish that should have them in. 

When I have had Sid for a bit longer and have found some courage, I'll test cooking times.

Thanks again Judy for your help.

I've only used black rice once to make icecream, and,it was soaked before hand and I had no problems.
