What is the best rice for high-volume restaurant cooking?

Long-grain rice is a popular choice for busy kitchens due to its versatility and forgiving cook time. Grains remain separate and fluffy, making them well-suited to a wide range of dishes. Jasmine rice is preferred for Asian-style menus, while basmati works best for Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines.

How should bulk rice be stored in a commercial kitchen?

Store rice in a cool, dry place in airtight containers or sealed bags to protect freshness and prevent moisture. Properly stored, most dry rice varieties will remain in good condition for up to 12 months. Rotate stock regularly and label with delivery dates to maintain quality.

What is the difference between jasmine and basmati rice?

Jasmine rice, grown in Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia, has a slightly sticky texture when cooked and a subtle floral flavour, making it ideal for South-East Asian dishes. Basmati rice, grown in India, is a longer grain that cooks dry and fluffy with a distinctive aroma, and is the traditional choice for biryanis and curries.

What is the difference between long grain and short grain rice for commercial cooking?

How do I calculate how much bulk rice to order for my venue?

Start by estimating your weekly covers and how often rice features as a component. Multiply your per-head portion size by projected weekly covers, then add a buffer of around 10–15% for busy periods. Ordering in larger bag sizes, such as 20 kg, reduces cost per kilogram and minimises how frequently you need to reorder.
