I've just bought one from a charity shop but there is no rice bowl. What can I use instead? I've no idea and no one I know has one! I've a sort of plasticky type bowl from when dd was a baby - could I use that?

No lid, an ice-cream Tub might not be strong enough, when it gets hot it may start to melt, use something that you would put in the microwave!

You don't add salt to cooking rice!
