A method for cooking rice in a cooking vessel having a lid, comprising the steps of; mixing the rice with an initial amount of water to form a rice/water mixture; applying heat to the rice/water mixture to raise it to or maintain it at an elevated temperature in the cooking vessel; placing a waterproof, heat resistant sheet member between the lid of the vessel and the vessel to form a seal or partial seal capable of maintaining an internal pressure in the vessel greater than that sustainable using the lid alone and reducing the heat applied to the rice/water mixture, whilst maintaining this applied heat at a level and for a time sufficient to complete cooking of the rice. The waterproof sheet member comprises a retaining means to assist in securing it to the cooking vessel. The present invention also provides an apparatus for use in the cooking of rice comprising a cooking vessel 3, a lid 2 and a waterproof, heat resistant sheet member 1 for use between the lid of the cooking vessel and the vessel. |
