Rice confusion ?????????

[Bernard]

Hi All,

I guess I will have to ask the UK forum ladies this question. If I take 1 oz (not sure how many cups this is equivalent too ?) of dry, raw rice and cook it in boiling water, does the rice double or triple in weight ? And does this apply to pasta too ?

Thanks

Anna

Rice doubles. Pasta you need to have extra water to pour off.
