Have you actually tasted it? I'd rather omit rice from my meal than eat this stuff. It really is awful.
No, I have never tasted Minute Rice in my whole entire life.
What a stupid question.
Not stupid at all. Sometimes people ask questions about products and food they've never tried. Hope you have a great day!

Don't any of you read? There's a big concern about arsenic in rice - all rice - brown is especially bad. It's coming from the water where it is grown. Low levels, but still. http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20130923/NEWS/309230016/FDA-tests-find-very-low-levels-arsenic-rice

Wrong.
We are either Asian, or people who know better or a combination of the two.

Minute Rice...no. I don't think Success brand rice in the bags is too bad, though; 10 minutes to cook.

Why would anyone waste money buying frozen rice?

Nowadays, I rarely use it because I usually cook enough for 3 servings (for each of us) at a time in my rice cooker. Use some that same day and freeze the rest divided in two different containers - each container is enough for one meal for the whole family (as a small side of course).
Also, you don't need a rice cooker - rice is one of the easiest things to make and where I am from, people do it everyday. I learned the traditional way on the stovetop with my mother, but my aunt is a big fan of making it using the microwave (30 min and done!). You don't need to tend to it or "pay attention."
I burn rice EVERY time I make it the normal way. I HAD to use minute rice until I got a rice cooker (yay!)

I was going to make the same suggestion. I always have the brown and jasmine rice in my freezer.
Yep - since I found the brown rice, I haven't bothered making it since. It's really good!

Minute rice? Ick. We like those Uncle Bens 90-second rice packets. Anything less than 90 seconds is just disgusting
