If you're going to do a large batch of rice to dehydrate, it's going to make your life a thousand times easier if you refrigerate the entire pot of rice. Long grain rice has starches on the surface that will crystallise, and make each grain separate. Once you've finished refrigerating it, go ahead and break it up with your hands so that it's all individual grains. THEN dehydrate it. It's an extra step, but it means that your rice won't be in clumps, and everything will dehydrate perfectly.
Super amazing idea!!!!
Excellent!
@Jus- Sayin soak and rinse your rice first and don't use a rice cooker like this lady. Rice should cook in a wider skillet type pan in a thiner layer. also longer grain rice is usually less starchy(try basmati or jasimine rice)
@@crabtrap you've got to do this step anyway, otherwise arsenic will stay in your rice!
@@ilil835 nonsense.
the biggest reason for me to dehydrate rice is in a SHTF scenario we will want to have food that cooks quickly without using as much fuel.
You left this comment 2 years ago. The days of SHTF are on the way. The people who rolled their eyes at preppers are now raiding stores to find pain meds are gone and grocery shelves will be next.
or using as much water if the water supply becomes a problem. Its good to add the water now to cook the rice while we have clean plentiful water so you are only using bare minimum water to reconstitute it on the other end if water has to be rationed.
Also, if you didn’t have fuel you can probably just cover it with water until it rehydrates.
I will use this information. Glad people are willing to show what, how & why it would help us in THESE hard times. Thank you guys
I love your videos . I dehydrate all kinds of stuff and then mix things together for backpacking meals. One thing we do is is dehydrate tomatoes ground up in a slury and make them like a fruit roll up. then you can rehydrate them as paste, juice, or what ever . I also use the nesco fruit roll up sheets in the Excalibur . I have several things on you tube on this
something I learned a while back is to rince the rice before you cook it so that it has less startch. This helps keep it form being so sticky.
I use high in my IP.
Save that starts water to put in your plants and vegetables. Trust me.
I will try this! thank you. I am asian and eats rice everyday so doing this once a week would save me so much time.
I loved my rice cooker but got rid of it when I got an electric pressure cooker. The pressure cooker does it in 6 minutes. And it is always perfect and never burns. I also make twice what I need and dehydrate it, I even cook it in broth and dehydrate flavored rice. It is absolutely great for the camper or quick meals. I love your videos! Thanks for sharing.
I have a multi cooker that has high heat pressure and low heat which would i need
I don't know exactly, how rice cookers work...
But since rice contains arsenic, which may cause cancer, you should always cook 1 cup rice at least with 4 cups water (more water is even better).
Arsenic will be in the cooking water, which you should pour away in the end. Also you have to wash the rice 3 times before cooking it.
girl that’s as great as a sweet rain in the evening thank you
I just dehydrated 12 cups of cooked rice it turned out great! When it stuck together a bit, I just took my rolling pin and unstuck it to separate! Just like Instant Rice! Much cheaper!
How do you cook the dehydrated rice? Is it like true minute rice where you boil a cup of water, add a cup of rice, let set and then you have 2 cups I cooked rice?
@@m.b.g.2235 Yes, it absolutely is, exactly like minute rice :)
@@starrstylist7441 .. thank you for responding. I have a lot of long grain rice and I would like to make it minute rice. During a SHTF, which I personally think we are in one now, cooking rice for a long time might not be advantageous. I think this is going to be a game changer. I might call on you again if I think of anything else.
I really loved the dehydrating video! I hope you do more of these. I'm going to try dehydrating rice this week. Thank you for sharing!
Love this! So often, I am tempted to use instant rice due to time constraints but I don’t because of the cost. This will save much time and money. Thank you!
Hi from the East Riding of Yorkshire in England. . I have watched this so many times along with the frozen vegetables n 'ground beef' (we call it mince). Thank you so much. Thank you*kt*x Peters Wife!
It's a good idea for people bring their own meal to work place.
I love making big batches and use a lot of it but there are times when it's like what am I going to do with it all or the times when I dont have any made and just want something for myself. This is bloody great. Thank you!
What a fantastic idea! Thanks!
Thanks for the information it really helped me a lot.
I think it is an excellent way to use and save what you've already cooked fresh. So there is no waste.
Thanks so much for all your video's. Great job!
yes, thats a cool addon for this idea. Especially when u 'made too much' for one meal
Thank you ☺️ for sharing your ways
I have never been overly impressed with electric rice cookers nor any of those fancy wood/bamboo rice steamers either, mostly because, as in this video, the rice comes out in big, sticky, glutinous lumps. I cook rice the same way my mother did, by boiling it in a big pot of water and then pouring the rice and water into a colander and then, running cold water through it.
The cold water stops the heat in the rice from cooking the rice any further and it helps to separate the individual rice grains and gives you a great fluffy cooked rice, ideal for dehydrating. Just let it sit to drain properly and then fluff it up a bit with a metal spoon as mentioned below.
Extra tip: Always use a metal table spoon/dessert spoon/soup spoon or a thin metal serving spoon to serve rice. Most large serving spoons have a thick, rounded edge that can squash the rice grains into a sticky mass, but the thinner edge of the metal spoons separates the rice as it passes through the grains.
Super helpful @tombstoneheart! I've never been so excited to make rice now😁
This is brilliant! Timeless!
That is awesome! Thank you so much.
My daughter taught me this a few years ago. Preheat oven 350 degrees,1c rinsed/drained white rice, 2c boiling water, 1 tbsp butter. Put all in 8x8 glass baking dish, cover tight with foil and bake 30 mins. Remove from oven and remove foil, stir with fork to eliminate steam.
When making lrg amt rice I use my IP and reduce water and time a little for less mushy/sticky rice. I agree with others, refrigerating rice over night gives separate grains.
Do you refrigerate it before or after you cook it?
FANTASTIC idea. You are SO clever. I'll definitely try that.
New subscriber, Kent, England.
I love your accent, so cute :D
I was wondered about why you would dehydrate rice and how. TY
I love your dehydrator videos. LOL, Hi Katy (video bomb at the beginning.)
This is a great idea! But what I would do is, cook the rice and spread it out on a baking sheet and cool. Then cover it and refrigerate over night. The rice will firm up and seperste easier. I use this method when making fried rice. Then it would be easier to put on the dehydrator trays and spread out. Just a suggestion.

seattwa great idea! Thank you!
Wow ty for info.
Thanks for the info. I will dehydrate some and see how it turns out. However, I rinse my rice before cooking so it does not stick together. There are some that say rinse, others say not to rinse. I guess it's a matter of personal preference.
Some people don't realize By doing this you take any bugs and eggs (Rice Weevils) from package it was stored in ..Yes from packaging from mass bulk bugs get in the rice and lay eggs...We wash the rice 2 or 3 times before cooking it releases the bugs and eggs And removes most of the starch in the rice Making it less sticky Boiling the rice kills any other left over unwanted items on the rice And Dehydrating the rice again for storage and later use is perfect
After the rice is dehydrated and you want to cook it, is it like minute rice where you boil one cup of water and add or cup of rice and you get two cups of rice ?
Another thought about dehydrating rice is that it helps remove some of the starchiness which is great!
@southernplate thank you for the recipe bless you is there a certain temperature and you put your rice on toand I couldn't hear you clearly did you do it overnight how much water did you add to it to re hydrated it??
Great tip! Thanks! Will whole grain rice preserve as long as white rice using this method?
Awesome thank you for sharing your videos 😊 did you add anything to your rice when you fist cooked it in the rice cooker?? Maybe i missed it.. thank you 👍
Wow! I never considered doing rice this way. I always buy the minute rice and it is expensive, Thank you!
Great idea! Could you do the same with beans?
nice 70's corelleware!
My mom had that pattern back in the day!😄
I love that! Thanks! 😊
You're welcome 😊
Omg thank you so much I have to do this tomorrow 💯💯
Hope you enjoy
@@Southernplate Omg it worked amazingly 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you so much
Will fruit roll up tray work for the rice. I have a round dehydrator or would parchment paper be better?
Would parchment paper work for liners for the dehydrators.
yes
This is a good idea, especially if who knows what could happen in the future like covid 19 now, an economic crisis, climate collapse or anything else, in case food gets scarce
Yes!
Next time cook rice put in ice box, next day it will crumble into pieces then dehydrate. no sticking together.
Eye on art - What a wonderful idea. I'm not quite sure what you mean by ice box. Are you referring to a refrigerator?
Also freeze over a couple days, take out and defrost. Once thawed, rice completely crumble easily.
yes, refrigerator
Did you say that you drained out the water when you rehydrate your rice? When I did mine I did 4c rice to 4c water. It was ok a little sticky but still good. I didn't have any water to drain out it suck it all up. Did I do it right? I have learned a lot from your video's.
I am really loving your videos thank you so much for sharing these wonderful ideas. I was wondering if once you vacuum seal a jar can that same lid be reused again to vacuum seal?
***** Thank you so muchly~!
What was the answer? I can't see their comment
Great idea
How long is the storage time?
WOW! What a great idea! Love it!
Ty
After you dehydrate the rice how could it last for in glass jars or mylar bags with oxygen absorbers? Thanks
If you rinse the rice 2 or 3 times, you will wash the starch off, and it wont stick like that.
Can you store the dehydrated rice in the bottle also?
Great idea! I like making spanish rice, do you think this method would work with all the veggies and the seasonings in the rice?
Yes, but if you use butter or oil it won't be shelf stable. Add that when reconstituting.
If your going to dehydrate it then don't worry about using rice cooker boil it with lots of water drain and cool off with cool water in strainer and all your rice grains are separated which loads in bottles and jars easy and you have less voids which let's you store more in same container
Can you use parchment paper
Can the same be applied to cauliflower rice?
Great video!
see our cauliflower rice video: www.southernplate.com/what-is-cauliflower-rice/
I am not sure if you mentioned how long the rice will keep after it's dehydrated, I got distracted for a minute, If you can let me know that will be appreciated. Thanks
Have you tryed macaroni. That is what I would like to see. It being dehydrated.
How long does it keep
what temp is "middle of the road:

I know this is an olde video, but was wondering if someone could help me. I learned in culinary school that rice was a hazardous commodity after cooking, even if it was refrigerated or frozen straight after. Apparently there is some sort of bacteria that is commonly present and which is not killed by chilling or even freezing. The dangerous bacteria increases with time and if you don’t use the cooked rice within 24 hours, it should be thrown out. Does anyone know if the subsequent drying of the rice destroys these bacteria? Thank you. I really want to try this!
I really like the idea of making instant rice out of long grain rice. Do you lose the nutritional value when you dehydrate the rice? I have heard instant rice purchased at the store has little nutritional value, yet long grain does. Both originate from the same source so I assume the dehydration draws out the nutrients. Hope I am wrong. thanks
I use about 4 to 1 water to rice. Cook in a insta pot.
Lots of water left over. Drain, cool over night and dry. With so much water the rice doesn't clump.
Unfortunately, many nutrients are lost with the water.
Thank you I was wondering about rice. My husband is a rice eater and now I can do it for him. You do not half to seal the rice after you dehydrate it?
If you do not vacuum seal the dehydrated rice it will absorb water from the atmosphere.
@@grlnexdoorable I vacuumed sealed it in jars. Still good
@@bleurose8380 that counts as vacuum sealing.
Is this cheaper than minute rice? I think minute rice is dehydrated also. Thanks for the interesting video.
Don't buy minute rice. Buy Great Value brand at Walmart. Cheaper than Minute Rice, and just as good.
Can I use oven?
Did you say how much water to add to how much dehydrated rice? Is it 1:1? You said you covered it with water. How much water?
I know you're DRYING the rice but do you need silica gel packs (like dried fruits bought from the store need) to keep it from going rancid?
Emily Morales I vacuum seal mine.
Fats are what goes "rancid". White rice has had the fats removed. Brown rice still has its fat, thus brown rice will go rancid. White rice has a 30+ year shelf-life, if properly stored. The silica gel packs are to keep moisture levels low. Oxygen is what causes fats to go rancid. To remove oxygen from the air, an oxygen absorber packet is used to remove the oxygen and create a vacuum situation. A vacuum sealer, such as FoodSaver, does the equivalent.
Hope this helps.
Can you do the same thing to make "instant" beans? I know honeyville sells instant red and black beans. Just wondering if you can do it this way, or if they need to be freeze-dried to work. Any input? Our Harvest Right freeze dryer is fixin' to be here TODAY! So either way, I'm set, lol
***** Awesome!! That will make my "meals-in-a-jar" so much more versatile! A gal can only eat so much gluten-free pasta! lol
What was the answer? Looks like the comment was deleted.
yes
Brilliant idea!
It NEVER occurred to me that cooked rice could be dehydrated...but duh, that's what Minute Rice is! LOL
During the COVID buying panic, I couldn't find rice anywhere. Finally I found a box of Boil in Bag instant rice.
Yuck!
Tasted like nothing. No flavor.
I used it up, because I didn't want to waste it, but never will I buy it again.
I am so curious to see how this turns out. Will be trying it soon. 👍🏻
Is it ok to cook you rice with butter or oil ? Will it still dehydrate ok?
DO NOT use oil or butter, unless you plan on using it really quick. It will go rancid. And besides, once you REhydrate it, you can add your butter then :)
how long the time takes for the rice to be dehydrated? how if there is no dehydrator at home? is there any other methods than can we use to dry the rice? *the answer need ASAP (:
+Southern Plate Alright. I'll try. Thank you so much 🙆
Does it change the texture of rice or ground beef dehydrated?
When it's all you've got will it matter?
Coming from a rice eating culture, you are using way too much water in your rice cooker. After washing the rice, fill water until it is only about an inch above the surface of the rice. Let it cook. Once done, life the pot out of the cooker and let it sit for 30 minutes. You should now have nice fluffy and grainy rice (not sticky, no clumps) :)
do we need to cook the dried rice on the stove or we can just pour some hot water into it then it'll be done?
+Southern Plate oh yeah i got it. but did you've any suggestion on how i can make an instant rice porridge? which means that i wanna make the instant rice that doesn't need to cook on the stove? if you don't mind to share any idea that you have (: thank you so much btw. really appreciate them.
+Southern Plate oh really? okay! I'll try it first then. thank you so much. of course for sure if anything I'll get back to you later on :D
Do you think this would work for brown rice? Thanks!
+Christy Jordan Thanks, I'll have to give it a try! At the very least it'll give quick cook brown rice.
I'll keep an eye out for that video!
Can I dehydrate rice that I cooked in chicken stock? I want to replace the "Uncle Bens' instant rice" bags that come in different flavors. Thank you for your advice, have subscribed and look forward to viewing!
And i hope it tastes better than the instant rice you get in the store
Do you know for how long this stays good?
I would say a couple of years
What has been the longest you have stored your home made minute rice? I'm looking to do this with brown rice for LONG term (prepping)....
Yes, You helped a ton.. I guess in the long term situation I am thinking of, as long as you have plenty to eat - Anything will be good! :-)
White Rice it is!
Could you do this short term with brown rice? I don't eat rice myself but my husband and son do and it's a pain for me to cook it. So any instant brown rice I make would be used up in less than 6 months probably. I don't mind cooking a batch ever 3-6 months!
I dont find instant rice to be expensive for an individual. I have it every day for lunch, 1 to 1 hot water I let it hydrate in a food container 30 min or more. Add a portion of chopped chicken, green onions, teryaki sauce, I have lunch for about 75 cents
How would you cook the now instant rice? Just in the microwave? Thanks
We love rice BUT we like sticky rice best.(Asian style) Does the rice come out all separated as individual grains or broken mushy gains(over cooked)? Most Americans eat rice this way. Those are deal breakers for for us!
I couldn’t hear you clearly, how do you re hydrate the rice?
Boil rice in water, let it sit for a few minutes then drain out the water.
So you cook it like normal rice? ( boiling water) or how long do you boil it for?
Ok I think I got it, so it’s like a minute rice correct? I was thinking it would be something like the Japanese instant rice ( zap for 1-2 min depending on portion. But there’s no water to be added or drained)
The only difference is that it will be more watery. I am doing it only bc my organic rice gets outdated too quickly cz I buy in bulk and it also saves time and energy. Also for emergency too.
@@joylee7274 . Does the end product turn to minute rice? One cup of boiling water and one cup of the rehydrated rice and it makes two cups of rice?
Good video, music was distracting
Only $17 for a 50# bag of rice 9 yrs ago?!?! Wow!
The good 'ol days!
I tried this but when I opened it in about six mos. it was bad. It smelled terrible. I dried it hard as rock and then used my machine to suck all the air out and they seemed to seal great. It was definitely not good though. Any advice for why it would go bad?
Did you use white or brown rice?
@@janinedear-barlow It wasp white rice from Sam’s club
@@tlpepper1 maybe something wrong with the rice? Maybe something got in it?
Now you get 6 sheets for $10. Like everything else we either get less for the same amount or pay more for less.
@Southern Plate: Good advice. To choose between good and evil started in the Garden of Eden. But Adam and Even found out there would be consequences.
Blimey, that's an advert for not buying a rice cooker. I would have to be rinsing all that arsenic-starch out before dehydrating.
Gummy going on it don’t matter? The rice is no good like that, it needs to be separated, that is no good, bin
Search the 'net and you will find upteen reasons never to nuke anything. I wouldn't even use a microwave to boil water.
Oh please god don't do this. You just end up with awful sticky rice instead of the sort of rice where you can see, taste and feel each grain.
Cook the rice, lay it out on trays in a thin layer, let it cool in a fridge and then store and freeze it.
That rice really looks overcooked! Didn’t you rinse your rice before cooking? If you don’t want it to stick together, you should rinse until water runs clear. This video seems to be too haphazard to be presented as a “how to video” especially for dehydrating newcomers. Very disappointed!
