How To Cook Rice In A Thermos

- Here’s how to cook rice in a thermos. In this video I have a 16 ounce thermos insulated food jar, and I cook rice in it with the boiling water. To cook rice in a thermos most effectively, first do you want to preheat your thermos. Put some boiling water in it and put the lid on for a couple of minutes so that the inside of the thermos gets very hot. Next, put your rice in the thermos, and use hot water to rinse the rice. This will make sure that the rice is hot, and the inside of the thermos is also hot. Next, after rinsing the rice through a strainer a few times, put twice as much water in as you did rice. In a 16 ounce thermos, you want to put in half a cup of rice, and one cup of water. That’s the perfect amount for a full 16 ounces of rice.
Here’s where you can buy a 16 ounce thermos insulated food jar like the one in the video.

I'm a post WW2 kid. They used cook like this in England during the war only they would use a tea packing case which is something over two feet square. They would half fill with straw. Bring a stew say to a running boil then put the pot into the tea case and stuff more straw round the pot and leave it. It was useful incase you had no or intermittent fuel supply and used less fuel anyway. I've cooked in vacuum flasks most of my life and it makes meat very tender.
My grandma was in Holland in World War II, and they would heat up the pot and then put it in the bed with all the blankets over it for a few hours to keep the heat in while it cooked to save fuel.
I know this shouldn't have but it blew my mind 🤯
I've never considered cooking in a thermos Thank you
You’re welcome.
That is a pretty slick way to cook rice, great idea. You should add some onion, pepper(bell and spicy), water chestnuts, snow pea pods, thin carrot slices, baby corn, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, a touch of oyster or fish sauce, toasted sesame oil, and thin strips of beef or pork. Now that is a lunch. I would also use homemade chicken stock (cooked with mirepoix and a tiny bit of salt) instead of water to take the flavor to the next level. Another way to add extra heat and add flavor you could brown/toast the rice with the toasted sesame oil in a pan before adding it to the thermos. Damn, now I made myself hungry......
That sounds much better than what I did. Maybe you do the rice in one thermos, and then boil all of that other stuff in a pot and put it in the other thermos, and mix it together and have it for lunch.
I'm impressed!!!
OMG Thank you so much man you are a genius. Your video saved me from money and cooking time at home.
You’re welcome
Thanks for this upload on how to……much appreciated.
What a perfect snack while on the Amtrak! Thank you. I will try this out!
Enjoy!
Thank you.
This will be part of my daily routine.
I had previously been making noodles this way and want to switch over to rice in the new year.
So glad it works just as well as noodles do. :)
You’re welcome
very nice loved to see how it done🇺🇸
Thanks!
Wow, awesome! Thanks.
You're welcome!
🤯 Wow. Thank you.
You’re welcome
Great idea
Thanks!
Wow, cool, thank you for that.
You’re welcome
That is so ❤
Pasta works, too!
I liked
Thanks!!! I have been doing a lot of experimenting with cooking in a thermos. It is good for people who travel and camp, and it saves energy too.
Great video. Btw, I would be interested in a video of you perhaps cooking pasta or ramen noodles?
I definitely need to try that. If you use one of those really tall thermoses, you can cook spaghetti without having to break it into shorter pieces.
Try bringing the water and rice to a boil for one minute the pour it in the thermos turns out way better
how do you mean?

Boil them both together before putting them in the thermos!!!
I’m sold! Bought 3 haha
Thanks
Wow i can have hit rice on my rice to pair with my lamb curry or soup this is a game changer
It’s really great. It’s perfect for lunch.
Even though you used a colander to drain water and are eating white rice with chili sauce
this was still useful information, we will buy a thermos. Thank you. Have a like.
You’re welcome.
Hey! Im a thermos chef myself but i did not get this to work in my hydroflask with jasmine rice. What rice dis you use? Paraboiled?
I used Trader Joe’s Jasmine rice. If you’re using the Hydro flask food jar that has the big wide lid, it doesn’t hold heat well enough to cook rice. It takes four or five hours to cook rice, and the Hydro flask food jar loses a lot of heat quickly. I did a separate review of the Hydro flask food jar showing how bad it is.
Hello you can't get it cooked this way in hydroflask because you need temperature 157 deg. Hydroflask doesn't keep this much.
You can try using hydroflask at the ratio 1 part rice 4 parts hot boiling water. Preheat the flask. Put the rice, add water, wait for one hour. Then when you open the lid, there will be rice with water. Drain the water and your rice will probably be cooked. That happens because the temperature of this mix will be kept higher than 157.
That result is a bit surprising, I always thought that to drain the rice for serving required the water to evaporate away. (is there still runny water content when it's done?)
There’s no water at the bottom if you use the right amount. It all goes into the rice.
He is using the absorption method with the right ratios of rice to water. works the same on the stove. 1:1.5 or 1:2 depending on rice and pot. but this method is always done with lid on.
How long does it take for the rice to cook that way? The entire 5 hours?
Yes. It takes five hours. I have opened it after four hours and it’s been edible, so you can experiment. I’m using jasmine rice.
@@hoohoohoblin 5 hours takes forever, if I want to have dinner right away. Wanted to save energy, but not at the expense of 5 hours. Maybe if I am going to work, and I can have it when I get home. So, I might try that some day. Just make sure the temperature doesn't fall below 140°F (60°C). Thankfully, your temperature was 156°F. :)
Sorry I sound like a nut case here: is there any way to bake a cake in a thermos? Ive done 2 min cake i a cup in the microwave.
That’s genius! I’ll have to try it and see.
No, you need 350 deg to bake a cake.
Is it long cooking rice, then, and not Minute Rice?
Yes. It’s regular rice.
Thanks!
Yesterday I went camping and I tried that method.... Oh the shame, rice was mostly raw and hard even after 12 hours
This is flask problem. You need the flask to keep 157 deg for rice to cook.
Try bulgur next time. It requires 1,5-2 hours to get cooked. It doesn't require 157 deg. Put flask horizontally.
You can still get rice in your flask cooked if you use 1:4 rice to hot boiling water ratio.
