  • About
Nothing could possibly be simpler to cook than plain boiled rice; even a boiled egg requires more finesse. But you can cook rice in Indonesia in as many different ways as potatoes in Ireland, so the matter is worth considering in some detail.

Ideally, rice should be boiled and then steamed. The first process requires an ordinary saucepan, the second demands a steamer with a perforated basket. The traditional Javanese dandang is a large copper vessel with a narrow waist; the kukusan, a woven bamboo container which holds the rice, is conical in shape and sits on the sloping sides of the dandang, just above the level of the water. See the drawing.
