 EASY AND DELICIOUS September 7, 2008

I bought these for my vegetarian daughter when she went off to college and she loves them. A quick and healthy meal! I kept a couple for myself and now I am hooked as well.
best tasting rice August 24, 2008
This is the best tasting rice! Much better than any instant rice, and much better tasting than the sacks of frozen rice at the store. My husband was very skeptical about my praise of gogo rice -- then I made some for him and he LOVES it. The microwavable pouch rice in the grocery store has an aftertaste -- this does NOT! It tastes like it came out of the rice cooker.
 Very tasty July 23, 2008
We thoroughly enjoyed the taste of this rice. The grains were long and smelt excellent. On top, this is organically grown rice so free from chemicals and pesticides. Will buy this rice again :)
 Don't trust #7 plastic for heat-and-eat July 16, 2008

The #7 ("other" ?!) plastic bowl packaging is supposed to make for microwaving convenience. But I could *taste* that plastic whenever I took a forkful from the edge of the bowl.
Should I be concerned about ingesting plastic that is of the "other" variety? #7 is often polycarbonate, which is often hardened with BPA, which is under fire. And, of course, #7 has no recycling program.
It's hard to know much about the health effects of "other" plastic. Using this container for "heat-and-eat" convenience sits poorly alongside the vigilance involved in choosing organic food! At any rate, the plastic just tastes bad.
I'm still happy to have a case of these at my office so I can make a decent hot lunch without planning ahead -- but I now always dump the contents into a real ceramic bowl, put a small plate over it (to provide a non-airtight lid), and zap it for 60 seconds. (Package recommends 90 seconds, but 60 suffices.) I assume the worst health risk of plastic packaging happens with the microwave heating, and I am happy not to be tasting that "other" stuff.
Minsley, please give us a #1 or #2 recyclable bowl (or #4 bag, or perhaps a #5 heatable bowl) -- and admit that the convenience is just about vacuum-packing the right quantity of cooked rice with the right moisture for re-heating in a proper container -- and then this will become what it should be.
Convenient & Tasty July 15, 2008
I love these rice bowls. Older kids can make them by themselves as snacks, which is mainly what we use them for. These aren't as sticky as the Annie Chuns (which we love also), but the better price on these makes GoGo Rice our choice.
Update 10-01-08: I'm so disappointed by the rate hike in the case of these bowls! It used to be such a bargain. I also think the previous poster has a good point re: heating in this grade plastic.
