Reusable boil in a bag rice?

Does anyone know where and how you can get re-usable bags for rice? It'd be super useful if you could just keep boiling the same bag, or not so ideally if you can bulk buy x bags that are disposable

I've seen some bags, but they're microwave steam bags and it's just never as good as boiled rice

Not something Ive seen, ive wondered the same and I believe if there was said item it would be on the shelves in the supermarkets.
Have you tried a certain amount of rice with water, in a container and in the microwave ?

Why do you need a bag when it is so easy just to boil rice in a saucepan?

I usually cook rice with non-stick pot. Never use microwave for that.

However, there is microwave rice cooker

I'm pretty sure that the rice in "boil in the bag" products is already cooked.   Similar thing with microwave rice products.

So, I can't see how a reusable bag would work, unless you had access to a source of cooked rice to put in it.

I've never really understood why rice has this reputation of being difficult to cook.   It really isn't, once a little common sense and instruction reading has been applied.   I could imagine it getting a bit tedious in diets where it is eaten 3 times a day, but that's different issue and is why people from those communities have automatic rice cookers.

'Cos rice is one of those foods that harbour bacteria, like Chicken - I wouldn't touch a reusable bag with a barge pole (if one existed) 

I admit I have never managed to boil rice in a pain without it all going pear - so I buy frozen micro rice, it's really nice
