 What's Not To Like? February 15, 2007

Organic, tasty, and right there on the pantry shelf. I love the nutty taste of brown rice but there are those subtle flavors that call for a white rice base. Being a doofus at cooking rice from scratch, I really appreciate having this around to help me out on those occasions.
 Don't trust #7 plastic for heat-and-eat July 16, 2008

The #7 ("other" ?!) plastic bowl packaging is supposed to make for microwaving convenience. But I could *taste* that plastic whenever I took a forkful from the edge of the bowl.
Should I be concerned about ingesting plastic that is of the "other" variety? #7 is often polycarbonate, which is often hardened with BPA, which is under fire. And, of course, #7 has no recycling program.
It's hard to know much about the health effects of "other" plastic. Using this container for "heat-and-eat" convenience sits poorly alongside the vigilance involved in choosing organic food! At any rate, the plastic just tastes bad.
I'm still happy to have a case of these at my office so I can make a decent hot lunch without planning ahead -- but I now always dump the contents into a real ceramic bowl, put a small plate over it (to provide a non-airtight lid), and zap it for 60 seconds. (Package recommends 90 seconds, but 60 suffices.) I assume the worst health risk of plastic packaging happens with the microwave heating, and I am happy not to be tasting that "other" stuff.
Minsley, please give us a #1 or #2 recyclable bowl (or #4 bag, or perhaps a #5 heatable bowl) -- and admit that the convenience is just about vacuum-packing the right quantity of cooked rice with the right moisture for re-heating in a proper container -- and then this will become what it should be.
How do you eat leftover rice? March 17, 2007
Heather McIntosh (Atlanta, GA)
I eat a lot of chinese food, and always have leftovers. Since it is nearly impossible to reheat rice, I bring my leftover chicken to work with a bowl of GoGo Steamed Rice. After 90 seconds in the microwave, it tastes like freshly steamed rice. Yummy!
Convenient & Tasty July 15, 2008

I love these rice bowls. Older kids can make them by themselves as snacks, which is mainly what we use them for. These aren't as sticky as the Annie Chuns (which we love also), but the better price on these makes GoGo Rice our choice.
Update 10-01-08: I'm so disappointed by the rate hike in the case of these bowls! It used to be such a bargain. I also think the previous poster has a good point re: heating in this grade plastic.
 Very tasty July 23, 2008

We thoroughly enjoyed the taste of this rice. The grains were long and smelt excellent. On top, this is organically grown rice so free from chemicals and pesticides. Will buy this rice again :)
