Brittany: I bought this because the picture makes it look like it's a resealable woven bag. It is neither. It is plastic. And once you open it, you cannot seal the bag again and the handles are useless. I wouldn't have bought this if I knew that but they deceive you, probably knowing no one will go through the hassle of returning a heavy bag of rice

Miz BrodyMiz Brody: I bought this because it's impossible to find authentic 817 Elephant brand cleaned and highly aged basmati (beware of imitations). Because of the good reviews of this rice, however, I decided to try it. The "aged" taste is not as pronounced as authentic 817 Elephant , however, it cooks up fine and is pretty good. When cooked properly, according to "Persian" and Asian/Indian methods (see below), this is actually a good rice.
UPDATE: After trying what I believed to be an authentic "817 Elephant" brand basmati rice only to find it bland, without the distinctive aroma, and undistinguished, I bought this Royal basmati for the second time.
NOTE: In order to cook this rice in the authentic Indian/Persian method so that it doesn't get sticky, gummy or fall apart, there is a three-stage process I always use, taught to me ages ago by a real Persian cook.
1. Soak 1 cup rice in highly salted water for at least 2 hours. Overnight is good in the fridge. Drain and rinse well several times.This removes the starches which cause stickiness and breakage.
2. In a tall pot, cover the rice with unsalted water and boil no longer than four minutes. Drain and run cold water over...

Steve Thomas: About ten years ago, I was lured by the incredibly low price for a burlap bag of Basmati rice at Costco, figuring that if I didn't like the rice, at least the bag would be useful. My wife tried that rice, and although she'd never used rice often in her cooking, we suddenly were frequent rice eaters. I had, in previous years, first given up broken "minute" rice for Uncle Ben's Converted, then gave that up for long grain rice.
Reading online, I found that not all Basmati rice is the same. I no longer drive, and there's just me now, so Costco was out of the question. I didn't want to order 10 pounds, because now there WASN'T a burlap sack involved. However, this rice arrived when I'd just been in the hospital for a week, all my leftovers had gone south, and I had no energy to cook. I scooped a cup of rice into a pot, added two cups water. and brought it to a boil, added just a little bit of my homemade chicken stock, popped the lid on the pot, turned off the burner, and headed back to bed. A half hour later, I ventured out to find an immense batch, far too much for one person, of perfectly cooked warm rice. I filled a huge cereal bowl, adding a bit of butter, saly, and pepper, and...
