How To Cook Rice A Roni At High Altitude
Cook long grain white rice for 15 to 20 minutes at altitudes up to 5 000 feet.
How to cook rice a roni at high altitude. The standard time is 15 20 minutes. The only problem is that i knew cooking rice at high altitudes is problematic so i bought some short grain rice today and did a couple test batches. That is why there is an increase in water.
Anything higher will cause the mixture to bubble over and the rice will burn onto the bottom of the pan. Increase the time incrementally as the altitude increases. I read all the suggestions online water boils at lower temperature in higher elevation use a little more water etc.
Many people bring it down to medium or medium low but when the instructions say low they really do mean low. The higher you go it takes longer to cook the rice. Expect rice cooked above 5 000 feet to take 25 minutes or more.
