    ANSWERS 2 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
    1• Can you make a smaller version?
    Answer •• YES 👉🏽ua-cam.com/video/SYTvrZvTUOM/v-deo.html
    2• Why did you wash the rice with salt?
    Answer•• This is a practice I picked from my grandma, and for real I find it to help remove some of the surface starch and prevent clumping. Parboiling the rice until it is al’dente is one known way to remove starch from rice but except you’ve done that a couple of times and mastered how fast it takes to get to that point, you may overcook the rice hence I find this method ( washing with salt and warm water ) easier to achieve the goal.
    TIP** Cosher salt will do a better job than the fine salt.
    3•• WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR BLENDER FROM AND WHAT IS THE BRAND?
    Answer•• The name of the blender is called AAOBOSI , and I bought it from amazon. The last time I checked, this item www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4N9X4R/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_api_fab_iguDFbQM0MMS8 is no longer available but I’m sure you’ll find something similar.
    4•• WHERE CAN I GET THAT POT?
    Answer•• I bought the pot from restaurant depot. You can check the pot section of any Asian Store as well. It’s called a pit pot.
    Here’s a link www.amazon.com/dp/B00164SID0/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_api_fab_DLhGFbPMXD8WT
    5•• WHY DID YOU COVER THE RICE WITH FOIL PAPER
    Answer•• I did that to help retain steam in the pot. The steam helps to cook the rice without adding much water.
    6••DOES ADDING BUTTER TO THE RICE CHANGE THE TASTE? AND IS IT DETECTABLE?
    Answer•• It doesn't change the taste and it's not detectable in a bad way , it adds a rich taste to the rice and then again It gives it some shine.
    7••• PLEASE WHERE CAN I FIND THE DESCRIPTION BOX?
    Answer•• Click on the topic of this video. ( how to cook jollof rice for a get together) a page will open up underneath it. That’s the description box area. You’ll find the recipe for this jollof rice there.
    8••• WHAT TYPE OF RICE DID YOU USE?
    ANSWER..
    I used the long grain parboiled rice for this recipe.
    Most of every other questions was answered in the video. I’m sure if you watch again with full attention you’ll find the answer to your question. :)

    Thank you so much for showing me how to cook jolof rice perfectly. I am Zimbabwean and have loved jolof for 18yrs but never thought I could ever cook. My first attempt before giving up was 2011. My son was 2yrs at the time. After cooking dinner, I called him to come and eat. When he got to the table and looked at it, he said, "Mom,it doesn't look righr", and wouldn't eat it. I knew ge qA right because I had tasted it as well and it didn't taste anything like what we had eaten at our Nigerian friends.But guess what? I did it all thanks to you. My Nigerian friends say its so good and can't believe I cooked it all by myself . I cooked 18 cups like you did and now my freezer is packed full and I don't see myself cooking again until end of January as its only my 11 year old son and myself. I am so proud of myself. You are a great teacher. Thank you

    As a chef, I feel very proud of you, dear Joyful cook.
    Your starting presentation of ingredients required for your recipe was very professional. You can teach, lecture student would-be-chefs accurately.
    Secondly, the manner you always owed up to your mistakes or error in the course of executing your recipe, cooking depicts grave humility and professionalism. I love and respect you for this.
    Many never acknowledge the slightest of errors or mistakes
    Thirdly, the manner in which you added humour and some entertainment entertainment made the viewing experience enjoyable
    Finally, your recipe execution was excellent!
    Keep up the good work, Joyful!
    I love you!
    You are the real definition of beauty and brains in a woman and a mother!

    I like the way you generously added season cubes. I sometimes watch some cooking videos where the person cooking will add just one cube and I am sure they will add more with the camera away because I know for the quantity of food they are cooking one cube will not be enough but they dont want to add more cos of what people will say. Thank you for being real.
