Thermos Rice

When you boil the kettle for early morning tea, rinse out a thermos flask with boiling water. Put 1 cup (250 ml) rice, 2½ cups (625 ml) boiling water and 1 T (15 ml) Ina Paarman's Chicken or Vegetable Stock Powder in the flask. Screw on the cap. At dinner time shake out the cooked rice.
