Whenever I cook rice, I use a hot box. I boil the rice for five minutes, and then throw the pot into an insulated hot box for about three hours, and then have perfectly cooked rice for dinner. It’s a no-brainer way to use less energy.
I wrote up an article for Planetsave about how to make a hot box. You can read about it here: Take Action to Save Energy: Cooking with an Insulated Hot Box
