\"blog-grinder\"Grinding rice grains helps to cut down time required to cook them into soft porridge. It takes a bit of trouble to get it done but the convenience that comes later is worth it. So here’s what I did after reading up on the how-to from other mommies on the Internet. (This is especially useful if cooking is done over the stove. Cooking porridge over stove fire requires constant stirring to prevent rice grains from sticking to the base of pot and getting burnt. Using ground rice grains would therefore reduces the amount of time spent on stirring! If the slow cooker is used instead, this process is unnecessary because no stirring is required.)<\/p>\n

Procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Wash the rice grains and drain well.<\/p>\n

2) On a metal tray that is wrapped in an aluminum foil, spread out the rice grains evenly.<\/p>\n

3) Set the temperature of the oven to about 50 degree celsius and dry the rice grains for about 30 minutes or so.<\/p>\n

4) Check the rice grains for dampness by running a spoon or your clean fingers through them. If they move freely \/ feel dry, set them aside to cool down.<\/p>\n

5) Grind the grains using an electric grinder until you get your desired consistency. (My grinder is ‘Trustee’. I understand that it is called ‘U-like’ now.)<\/p>\n

6) Transfer the ground rice grains into an air-tight container. I used ‘lock & lock’ and ‘biokips’ to store both my ground brown and white rice grains.<\/p>\n

7) Store the containers in the refrigerator. Try to use up the ground rice grains within a month. (This should enable you to estimate the amount to grind.)<\/p>\n
