...height of 45 grams of rice in solar tube
...height of 45 grams of rice plus 1/2 cup water...
Soft boiled rice 1h 45 minutes later.
Notice I can hold the outter tube in my hand but would burn my fingers if I put them inside the tube.
If you look closely at the rice you will see the rice at the bottom of the tube was still slightly crunchy.
...This is my fault; the rice should've have been stirred. Stirring is easy given the outside of the tube remains cool -just invert the tube a couple of times.
