Curious shopper the now bran on the Block by Marian Burros new York times two years ago it was wheat bran these Days it s oat bran. But the newcomer on in grains for health list looks like Rice Brandi is pretty difficult to be a Cournal when it comes to the latest health craze so it is a Good idea not to Stock up on any single item. You could end up with a closet Lull of Oal bran when All your friends have gone on to no bran and judging by the material pouring out of the u s department of agriculture and the Rice Council of America you ought to have at least one Box of Rice bran on your shelf by now. Research done by the us a on hamsters shows that Rice bran the outer layer of Brown Rice is As of Lclive in lowering cholesterol As is oat bran.

It May strike some people As strange that to consume the part of Rice that May lower cholesterol they must now buy the once discarded no bran. There is however an easier Way to get both parts of the Rice Kernel oat Brown no. It is available in just about every supermarket and health food store. Many people Are reluctant to prepare Brown Rice because it takes 45 minutes to Cook but there Are two simple solutions one is to use instant Brown Rice which Cooks quickly. The othe1 is to soak regular Brown Rice for several hours so that it will Cook in 20 minutes. Just cover the Rice with water and allow it to sit covered at room temperature for Lour hours or longer overnight if desired. Drain off the water and cover with the appropriate amount of water for cooking. Cook As you would regular White Rice.

What would happen if something that s not a Safe was used in a microwave oven i can understand that some plastics might melt but paper towels Evelyn Lyke Kingston . Paper towels that Are not labelled microwave Safe says Susan Martin a manager Al the Maytag company May have the potential to ignite thus creating a the following information is Given in a Maytag technical bulletin regarding the use of paper and plastics when cooking in a microwave paper paper products that can be used in the microwave oven include paper plates napkins towels cups and Wax paper. Use White rather than coloured towels for the Dye might add color to the food. Do not use paper towels with Nylon or other synthetic fibres Lor they could cause the paper to ignite foil lined paper products for the foil will reflect microwaves and prevent or slow Down cooking newspaper because some types of newspaper Ink can absorb microwaves causing the paper to ignite plastic plastic wraps boil in the bag plastics and roasting or cooking bags without the wire twist tie can All be used in the oven to some extent. There Ore Many grades of plastic wrap. Some such As Saran wrap Are heavy enough to withstand the High temperatures of cooking foods. Other brands will not withstand the High temperatures and will tear or even melt. Don t use plastic other than the Thermo or High temperature plastics with foods High in fat or sugar. Foods High in fal or sugar become so hot that they can distort or even melt plastics such As styrofoam or plastic spoons. An example of a High temperature plastic is a Bacon rack specifically designed Lor use in the microwave oven. How come you can buy two a size flashlight batteries Lor 99 cents and one Battery Tor your watch costs $4.89? Why is it that the smaller they Are the More they Cost Butch Jennings Dalls a. James Donahue director of communications Al Duracell inc., answers your question the size of the Battery has nothing to do with the retail Price. It s possible to buy two d size batteries Lor 99 cells because so Many hundreds of millions Are made each year and the goods manufacturing efficiency allows a lower Price. Watch batteries Are More expensive because first of All they Are More difficult to make than flashlight batteries requiring special equipment. Secondly the ingredients in a watch Battery Are More expensive. Finally there in t As much demand for Walch cells As lord cells so the High Cost of manufacturing is passed along the Good says Donohue is that most watch cells will last a Long Long time so there s no need to change them As frequently As a cells in a flashlight hive a consumer related quo ton write to Sonia Heinle in cart of to Sun and str Fml.
