Thread: Savoury rice in a flask

Hi,

We're travelling down to see boyfriends parents for new years in a few days, I have some chilli which I'll make some pasta for to eat on the way down while boyfriend and son eat McDonalds, the plan was to have a salad on the way back, but I know if I've been good while we're down there I'll be tempted by the festive burger, but if I have been good while we're down there why ruin it and if I haven't why add more syns?

So I was thinking I'll have my food flask on me as I will have used it for the chilli, has anyone ever cooked savoury rice in a flask? How long do you have to leave it?

This is something ive tried before but im interested to know if it will work or not lol xxx

Im sure ive seen people on here or on facebook saying they've tried it... but would like confirmation lol.

if noone who has tried it gets back to this thread ill try it.anyway and let you know how it works out for me. If worse comes to thr worse it wont work and ill have to eat out but at least i would have tried.

My consultant mentioned putting dried pasta and whatever you wanted in a flask with boiling water and just leaving it and I suppose it should work no problem! Loving the idea of rice though!!

I read that you need to put the savoury rice in then add a bit more water than normal give it a shake and it should be ready to eat lunchtime.

Just got some rice in a flask to give it a go, will keep you posted.

Looking forward to hearing the results of this test is that sad lol

im subscribing to see xx

No its not sad, I don't even want to eat the rice but want to know if it works, lol.

Well, I put the rice in with boiling water plus a little extra as suggested. I have left it for just over 1.5 hour and its ok, not brilliant. The rice was not completely soft but certainly edible plus loads of water still remaining. The water had gone luke warm so I think my flask was a bit old and crap to be honest as the water should still be hot. Need to invest in new flask I think.

Thank you for trying x

Yes second that!

When I have soup in a food flask for work I put half a nest of dried noodles in the bottom pour the soup on top and by lunch time they are fully cooked and yummy.

Do not find food flask keeps things too warm Even though I bought a good one from Lakeland!
Just want to say don't bother wasting Money i definitely would not again!!lol
