Making a Rice Heating Bag

I was making a rice bag and was wondering if I could use the Success white rice, also called "boil in bag"? It says it's precooked, but it's dry, so I wasn't sure if I could use it. (To cook it to eat, it says to boil the bag for 10 minutes.) Can I use it for my rice bag?

Sharon is right. Barley lasts the longest, but most of us don't like the scent as well. I would make it so you can slip in a cheap bag that you can refill, then you don't have to slit the bag open when it's time to refill.

Good luck. This site will give you some ideas

No. You cannot use instant rice in a rice bag. The rice will cook when heated in the microwave and if heated for too long the rice will overcook and could catch fire.

Use long grain white or wild rice, or a blend of both. Personally I use the jasmine rice because it has a nice soothing scent when it's heated.
