it could also be due to the pot used.
Some pots can transfer heat better and more evenly and thus reduce cooking time.

hmm.. i use a WMF saucepan to cook. it has a very thick base n a heavy glass cover which i think help in reducing cooking time? mil uses her beloved tanyu claypot to cook. she doesn;t know how long it takes but i believe not more than 1h too.
oh my mum told me not to keep stirring the porridge coz it'll break down slower.
n i use 'new rice'.

Hi Pegsfur,
Share share with u my canto porridge cooking learning process,my gf shared with me her recipe for brown rice,1tbsp and 30ml water & 45 mins cookin time.
Tried a few times,turn out uncooked.So we analyzed every details (from brand of rice,brand of cooker to hot or cold water used)and discovered tat using different brands of slow cooker requires different proportion!
She is using Aerogaz whereas I am using a bigger Toyomi slow cooker.
So if you use Toyomi slow cooker,the brown rice to hot water ratio is 1:5 and only 45mins to cook.Very fast and confirmed canto style.You may wanna invest in one,costs less than $50.
Pls be careful with IKEA pots. Tat time we bought one,n then it turn rusty on the insides within 1mth of use so we went back to get a refund.

u use craypot? over the stove/fire type?
i think i put too much water
.. so the slowcooker takes more time to evaporate the water off? i oso dunno leh.. maybe next time i try 1.5 chinese soupbowl of water, see how?
then again, this combination seems okay at the moment.. the maid got some time to do work while leaving the slow cooker do its cooking?

brown rice: how many times do you give your bb brown rice 3 times a week? do you wash first before grinding, thinking of grinding this weekend hehehe
. My bb hate ikan bilis only prefer siliver fish. My nanny even add a little soy sauce to the (white rice) porridge, my bb end up eating two bowls !
i grind brown rice but MIL feed porridge from white rice, old ppl are strange, like to feed from what they prepare.
last weekend, i use small silver fish, wash & soak for 1hr totally no salt taste, sun dried & wok fry it then grind but cannot achieve powder form. i add into porridge then my son reject. i dunno if my porridge not nice or he simply does not like fish taste. maybe i must try ikan bilis and have a lil salt retention by not soaking too long.
ethan's 2 other teeth are sprouting, that's going to be 8 altogether. mommies, enjoy the moments when your bubs still have toothless smile, the days will be over very soon.
btw, Ethan is perspiring alot due to el nino effect, not sure can introduce a lil salt into his diet to replace the sodium?

mil buys her new rice from this provision shop in toa payoh. but i think u can get that from ntuc too. look for 'new crop rice' - means just harvested, very moist, not hard-hard n dry like rice that has been stored a long time.
haha yeah just now mil was telling me AGAIN that last time bbs start solids at 4 mths *yawn*
pegsfur
i dun cook too. but mil bot us this set of 4 wmf pots at $99 from robinsons when we first got married. think she was still under the illusion that i'll cook wholesome family meals for her son haha

My MIL says that brown rice is heaty. She's very gd at all these heaty, cooling, liang teh, herbal stuff. Makes sense lah, coz brown rice contains the unpolished part.. what bran, germ dunno what?? Forgot my Home Econs long long ago liao. More nutrients in brown rice lor. Maybe u just give more fruit/veg/water bah?
Depends on the individual BB's constitution too. Some bbs more heaty, some more cool. Depends on whether u believe in heaty/cooling also
