Prepare hot, fluffy rice in minutes using your microwave and Minute Rice. A brand name of instant rice, Minute Rice, lets you prepare rice in just five to 10 minutes rather than the 30 to 40 minutes required for regular varieties of rice. You must make a minimum of two, one cup servings of rice when you use the microwave. The leftover rice stores well in the refrigerator, covered for up to two days.
