Yummy, Quick and Easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems like I am almost always in a rush to cook but this is a delicious option to keep in one's pantry. Perfect for a fast side dish and I often use it as a component in other dishes, such as casseroles, stuffed peppers, egg rolls, etc.

Makes cooking dinner faster

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our family is all about having sides with dinner and Uncle Bens Ready Rice is perfect to have on hand. I had made roasted chicken with veggies and still needed another side. Uncle Bens Ready Rice was simple to make simply pop it in the microwave since I didn't have any other burners available and it was done in 2 minutes. I put it in a bowl added a little butter fluffed it with a fork and it was done. It helped to complete our family dinner and they all loved it.

Yummy but slightly dry

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always not been that good at making white rice, and I don't make it enough to eat to invest in a rice maker. Ben's original basmati ready rice is really good, on its own it's slightly dry, but adding a little butter and salt or a nice stew or sauce on top makes it great. I've already gotten more packages and will continue to use this rice for my meals.

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how easy to prepare this rice is! Just pop it in the microwave and you're dinner ready within a few minutes. It tastes great and you can't tell that it was cooked so quickly! Definitely worth a try to simplify busy day dinners.

Nasty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm always looking for easy shortcuts to take while cooking so decided to try this out. Although it is very convenient just to pop in the microwave, it does not taste good at all. I tried to doctor it up and add some flavor to it but I did not like it at all. No flavor tastes like cardboard.

Convenient but not super tasty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ready to heat and serve rice packet from Ben's Original is definitely a convenience food. It makes a good base for rice bowls and tastes fine as long as you mix it with sauce. The rice alone tastes a bit like cardboard. I like the idea of it being shelf stable and easy to heat and serve, I just wish it tasted better and had a softer and fluffier texture.

Super easy but I'll stick with regular rice making

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I appreciate how quick and easy this was to make. Just pop it in the microwave and boom done! But it is SO bland. If you don't have some salt or other seasoning to add I would not recommend getting this. Just make your own.

VERY convenient, excellent flavor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They require no refrigeration and will sit happily in your pantry. It's got a bit of nuttiness, good flavor and good mouth feel. It's great with peas and butter and it absorbs sauces readily. And they are worth having around.

Tasty Rice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed this BEN'S ORIGINAL Ready Basmati Rice. It comes in an 8.5 OZ pouch that is BPA free and is very easy to prepare as all it takes is 90 seconds in the microwave. It is free of artificial ingredients which makes me feel good knowing that I'm eating healthy. I recommend this quick delicious side dish that is the perfect complement for any meal!
