Tap water for cooking

[Ragnarok]

I have run out of drinking water and am using tap water for cooking rice now. Wish me luck. And if things go bad, it has been nice knowing most of you.

Just shows what we take for granted. I moan because Yorkshire water doesn't taste as nice as the water on the better side of the Pennines, but at least it's clean and won't kill me.

If the water boils it should kill the nasties in the water i am led to believe, though what the rice fella's do in the paddy fields whilst the rice is maturing and absorbing well that's a different trip to the lavatory altogether ;)

two of my old china`s did similar in Northern India , they now have to go into hospital for around six weeks a year when the bad bacteria grows in their stomach . Just ask someone for a couple of rupee

Personally I would boil the water before using it for the rice to make sure.

I don't envy ya Ragnarok.

It might kill the nasties, but there is still the danger from unwanted levels of minerals and metals.

Is the tap water really that bad in India??
