Our take on the Ben's Original Ready Rice Basmati Microwave Pouch 6 Pack

Ben's Original Ready Rice Basmati is fully cooked basmati rice in a microwave pouch. You heat it for about 90 seconds and it's ready, with long grains, a fine texture and a subtle nutty aroma. It suits people who want basmati for a curry or a quick side without washing, soaking or waiting on a pot. Against dry basmati, it costs more per serving and you give up control over firmness, but it saves the 20 to 30 minutes of cooking. Against other microwave rice, basmati is the lighter, more aromatic grain rather than a sticky short grain.

Questions and answers

How do you cook it?
Tear the pouch slightly and microwave it for about 90 seconds, or heat it in a skillet. It is fully cooked, so you only need to warm it through.
Is it gluten-free?
Basmati rice is naturally gluten-free, and this product is just cooked rice. Check the pouch for any added ingredients if you have allergies.
How many servings are in a pouch?
Each pouch is 17.3 oz, which is a family-size portion of about four side servings. The pack holds six pouches.
Does it need refrigeration before opening?
No. It is shelf-stable until opened. Refrigerate leftovers and use them within a few days.
How does it compare with dry basmati?
It saves the 20 to 30 minutes of rinsing, soaking and cooking, but the texture is softer and you can't control firmness. Dry rice gives you more control for less per serving.
Can you use it for biryani or fried rice?
Yes. The separate grains work for fried rice and quick biryani-style dishes, though the rice is already cooked, so add it near the end.
Where is the Ben's Original Ready Rice Basmati Microwave Pouch 6 Pack cheapest?
