Our experience.
The instructions are clear and simple. In addition, there is a very good explanatory video.
However, sometimes it is difficult to follow everything the professionals say because in our kitchens at home we don't have so many cooking utensils, the fire has different power, etc.
So we have thought that we are going to tell you things that have happened to us and how we have solved them because, although we are Valencian, rice does not always come out the same.
The first thing is the power of the fire. Surely you always have the doubt if it is too high or too low. In this case we have applied the same trick as when we cook the rice from scratch: look at the level of broth and if the rice is hard or not.
If you see that you are running out of broth soon, lower the heat. It is easier to solve the excess of broth at the end of the cooking than if you run out of broth too soon.
But if, on the contrary, you see that the rice is cooked enough but there is still too much broth, increase the power so that the broth is consumed.
The resting time is the moment to finish. If the rice grain is hard and you like it softer, cover it with aluminum foil for the 5 minutes that it has to rest. It will finish cooking without the need of fire. If you like it at that point, leave it uncovered.
What else might you be interested in?
In addition to a rice dish, something typical is to eat a good salad. And what better than a good oil (link to oil) to dress it.
A good dessert could be a peeled orange or some watermelon or melon slices depending on the season.
Guillermo's Guarantee
As a good Valencian family, almost every Sunday we gather around a paella to share. But, let's be honest, preparing a paella is very laborious and you need almost 2 hours to get it right.
One day we discovered these rice dishes and they seemed to be the ultimate solution for those days when it's lazy to cook. So, from that day on, in our house, many Sundays we prepare Quique Dacosta's A Fuego rice.
The ease of preparation and incredible taste allow us to enjoy a gourmet meal without leaving home and spend more time chatting over an aperitif with the family.
If you follow our example, you can have a little piece of Valencian cuisine on your table.
