How to warm up rice

To warm up the oven rice, sculpt the desired amount of rice that you want to warm up in a stainless steel pan or a large pyrex. Add in a little water to get it wet and cover it with an aluminum foil. Leave it warm up until the rice is completely warmed to the end.

"If it's in the oven and that's a big part, let's say about 5 pounds in a large metal container, it will take about 20 minutes in the oven," says Vargas chief.

The microwave method

For this method, place the rice portionized on a plate. Humidify a paper towel with water and put it on the rice plate. Microwave the hot rice for about 2 minutes or until the rice is completely hot.

"I will do the same for fried rice, for all kinds of rice," says Vargas Chief. "This will give a beautiful moisture [texture]. It will not be dry or hard. And he will warm faster."
