Ok longtime DR Eco Community, It seems that everyone I know in the DR throws a plastic grocery store bag over their rice at a certain point in the cooking process. It melts around the edges and the rice turns out great. When I discuss alternatives with them, they look at me like I just insulted the Virgin Mary. They say, that I've eaten the rice since I got here, and it's the only way to cook it, and I'm not dead yet, so there you go.
Has anyone been confronted with this issue? Does anyone have an easy alternative that I can offer my Dominican friends that works just as well? Or should I just resign myself to rice ala petroleum-extracts as my regular lunchtime meal?
Thanks,
Kevin
