Rice is Versatile
and Economical
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has put rice on its
Plentiful Foods List, so now is a
good time to brush up on your
rice knowledge.
Almost everyone has probably
heard these don’ts: don’t cook
rice in too large a quantity of
water, don’t boil rice rapidly;
don’t rinse rice after cooking,
don’t stir rice during cooking. But
Compare Food Costs
You can compare the cost of
the food you buy in several dif
ferent ways. You can compare
the size of the containers you buy.
You can also compare cost of
different brands, grades and
qualities. Compare foods in
different stores and then buy
from the one that suits you best.
Compare prices of similar food as
pears versus peaches or rolls
versus bread. And then you can
compare the convenience food
with the one you make from
scratch.

not everyone knows the whys
behind the don’ts.
Rice should be boiled in as little
water as possible to retain more
flavor and retain a better texture.
Rice should be boiled gently, over
a low heat. Rapid boiling may not
only cause the rice to boil over, it
may break the grains. Rinsing
rice after it’s cooked may wash
away important nutrients. And as
for stirring while cooking! You.
may be mashing the grains and
causing the rice to become
gummy.
Now that you know what not to
do when cooking rice, here are a
few ideas about what to do.
Use Mushroom-Onion Rice to
accompany any main dish. Saute
sliced mushrooms, chopped
onions and diced celery until
tender. Stir into cooked rice.
Delicious. Or tickle your family’s
taste buds by preparing a
Creamy Rice Pudding and ser
ving it with Honey-Orange Sauce.

Since rice is a universal food,
rice dishes span the globe. Why
not gather all your onions,
mushrooms, scallions, celery,
spinach, bamboo shoots, and thin
steak in one dish and make an
Oriental delight Sukiyaki. Or
take a stewed chicken and rice
and create Kip En Ryst, a Dutch
favoirte.
STUFFED PEPPERS make a
hearty, delicious main dish. Just
follow these simple directions:
4 to 6 peppers
IVt cups of cooked rice
3 cups of cooked ground meat
1-3 cup of finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon of grated onion
1 can of condensed tomato soup
salt, pepper
TO PREPARE: First wash the
peppers. Cut the large ones in
half lengthwise. For the smaller
ones, remove a slice from the
stem end. Scoop out the seeds and
cut away the seed parts, leaving
a clean shell. Place the peppers
in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes.
Drain. Mix part of the tomato
soup with the rest of the
ingredients. Stuff each pepper
shell with this. Place in a shallow
baking dish containing the rest of
the tomato soup. Bake in a 375
degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes
or until browned.
Proper Use of
a Dishwasher
If you have a dishwasher, have
you noticed spots and film on
your glassware? If so, you’d
better check the water because
the effectiveness of a dishwasher
is directly related to the tem
perature and condition of the
water used.
If you have an automatic water
softener, it may need recharging
or it may not be operating
properly. Perhaps the water
temperature is too cool. For best
results, set the temperature of
the water heater to keep the
water at a minimum of 140-to-145
degrees.
Another point to consider is the

amount of detergent you use. The
hardness and temperature of the
water will influence the amount
of detergent you need. You may
have to experiment by using
different amounts to determine
just how much detergent is
needed.
Water cannot hit all the dishes
to clean them properly unless the
dishwater is correctly loaded.
Make sure you don’t overload it.
