## Questions & Answers

**Q: After reading the reviews I ordered a bag!  I'm trying to duplicate the paella I had in Spain -- what is your best cooking secret?  Muchas Gracias!**
A: The secret for paella... Don't be stingy with the saffron, use plenty!

**Q: Do you cover the pan while the rice cooks in your paella pan?**
A: NO, do not cover it!!!  You also do not stir it!  Give the pan a shake every once in a while.  The recipe that I usually use has you take the pan off the heat when the rice is cooked and cover it with a clean dish towel for 5-10 minutes.

**Q: Can this rice be used for other rice dishes?**
A: I don't see why not. It is a short grain rice perfect for forming the "soffrito" at the bottom of the paella pan. But it is rice, after all.

**Q: Has anyone compared this Santo Tomas bomba rice to the considerably less expensive Matiz bomba rice also sold on amazon?**
A: Doubt there would be much difference.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely rice
*by K***T on January 8, 2026*

Excellent rice, easy to cook

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cooks perfectly
*by N***I on October 29, 2025*

Our first attempt at Paella. Perfect rice for our dish!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My water to rice ratio that was good was 2.5 parts water to 1 part rice, on a very very humid day.
*by M***. on March 15, 2018*

The rice arrived in a sack as shown, also wrapped in a thin plastic bag. There were no instructions for how to cook the rice with the package, but from what I could discern from the internet the water to rice ratio was around 3.5 to 1. I had read several places that authentic Bomba rice could absorb a ratio of 4:1 But I was a bit skeptical. I made an authentic Valencia style mixed Paella. My plan was to use to 2 cups of rice and six cups of seasoned chicken broth, a ratio of 3:1 because it was raining outside and very humid. However, my large frying pan turned out to be just a bit too small for all the liquid, and I lost about a quarter cup to spillover. I cooked my paella till I could add more liquid but still wound up only adding about 5.25 cups (minus the spill amount = 5 cups). I stole a spoonful of rice from the top of the pan and it was perfect, so... I am very happy that I did not add the other three quarters of a cup of broth as it would have been too much. As it turned out next time I will only use just a tablespoon or two over 5 cups of liquid, as the rice was a bit wet. Of course as everyone knows humidity, altitude and other factors can have an effect on how the rice turns out. So you have to gauge your own situation. It was raining here today, so who knows what it will be like cooking this rice in the dead and dry hear of my southern California summer when the liquid evaporates faster. I am sure in August I will be using the full six cups or even more. As for the taste and texture, OMG - I love this stuff. This was my first time using it and I am seriously impressed. I cook a lot of rice. We just love rice and I have found all kinds of ways to make it. This stuff was perfect, not sticky, not gluey, the texture was awesome. The flavor, well I have to say that is up to what you put into it, but it did absorb all that I gave it and was great. I have no way to compare it to other paella rices yet, so trying to compare it to regular rice is like comparing apples to walnuts. But I have just ordered a cheaper 4 pack of rice from the same region I can only hope that it is as good. Hope this helps you!
