Arsenic 'n' Old Rice - A Recipe?

Coincidence factors in, once again. We had the most delicious rice, last night... Trader's Basmati, straight from the foothills of the Himalayans. A little pang of guilt** for choosing white over brown was quickly overcome, when it came out of the rice cooker... a grain at a time! There was no fluffing with a fork, Friends, 'cause it was perfect. So, yet another report about how we're poisoning ourselves with food struck us a tad harder than normal, this morning. Jeesh. Even air contains arsenic, so do we need to stop breathing? But there's good news...

White rice is polished and thus contains less arsenic than the previously-considered-healthier brown variety. Ahh, I shall march into my new day truly guilt free.** Whatever...
Back to the results. You do possess this little pot, by now; right? Just search CMI to see its endless uses. Here's an appropriate one, in light of the arrival of apple season. For the rice, just measure ingredients into the cooker and go relax. Perfection was never so easy.

Buon Appetito... arsenic and all...
