I use the least expensive rice I can find, most times less than $1.00 for 2
pounds, which is the amount I've always used in each bag. I gave some to
two aunts for Christmas in 1999 and they are still in use. The little note
I attached to each said they should microwave it for 2 minutes to use; and
once a month or so, put a cup of water in the microwave with it for a couple
minutes to keep the rice from becoming brittle.
