Tried and Tested: impressive Veetee Dine In Rice leaves our saucepans safe

Being a food source that is low in fat and high in starchy carbohydrate, rice can be a really useful addition to the parental armoury of food to feed fussy toddlers. It can replace potato, pasta, be quick to prepare and easily flavoured.

But rice can be also be bit of a bother to cook. Culinary disasters involving rice can include the steadfast refusal to go soft, inability to absorb water or even graft itself to the bottom of the saucepan causing a small fire.

When reporters at Chopsy Baby heard about Veetee Dine In Rice, we felt we had to try this product on behalf of all the parents who just can’t get to grips with rice preparation.

There are ten varieties of Veetee Dine In Rice. We tried Peri Peri, Basmati and Mushroom and Basmati and Wild Rice.

We conducted a toddler taste test involving four fussy feeders between the ages of two and five and their parents.

It can be easy to snub a product such as Veetee Dine In because it is more expensive than buying a bag of rice.

But this product is perfect for parents needing to feed children quickly, healthily and without the need for the fire brigade to visit.

Just two minutes of microwave cooking left us with genuinely tasty rice that all the children ate and left the parents immensely impressed.

Their claims at creating restaurant quality rice in two-minutes are completely justified.

As well as being microwavable, the rice can also be stir fried in a wok with fresh vegetables, creating a perfectly healthy meal in minutes.

We will never be binning our saucepans on curry night again.

The Veetee Dine In range is available from Tesco, Asda, Waitrose, Ocado, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons priced at £1.69.
