I’m asian
I will use a rice cooker till the day I die

 

[heelsandeers]

I've always wanted to see exactly what People that "can't get rice down on the stove" are doing.

While it's not difficult to cook rice on the stove, I always hear people who cook a lot of rice swear by rice cookers

There must be a reason

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I’m also against kitchen items that only serve one use so yeah I’ll never get a rice cooker

Also. Ditch the whole 2:1 water to rice ratio. Wash and soak your rice. Use a 1.2:1 water to rice ration.

I wash and soak my rice.

I still have to use about a 2.2/1 Ratio for Brown Rice for it to come out perfect.

Yea, I want to know what folks are doing wrong exactly.

 

[shogun]

Being Asian, there's always some leftover white rice or fried rice in the fridge. Just heat it back in the microwave for a minute.

 

[shogun]

Unless it's some rice mix from a box, I don't know anyone who cooks rice on the stove. #CulturalDifferences

You just push a button.

Put the rice in, fill water to the first line on your index finger, and push the button.

I think brown rice takes longer to cook so that makes sense. I haven’t made brown rice in forever now that I think about it.

Nice

Sounds like I could get back some of the time I waste using a toaster oven

 

[B Sox]

Rice cooker just seems completely unnecessary TO ME. Never owned one though.. Something else to take up space.

Easy as hell to just cook on stove. I'd imagine the time it takes is pretty similar?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I’m also against kitchen items that only serve one use so yeah I’ll never get a rice cooker

Yea and also, I just don't eat enough rice for it to be worth a purchase.

I understand those that have it but I can go months without making rice.

 

[rooster]

It’s not just a rice cooker
It’s also a rice warmer
Cook rice once today
Have ready to eat rice for the next day
I only buy 40lb bags of rice

 

[SC kid]

Are u Filipino?

 

[rooster]

Korean
I laugh at those small boxes of rice I see at American grocery stores
As if

The single best kitchen appliance I own.

 

[Mark Antony]

A rice cooker is clutch, and I don't even have trouble making rice. Just more convenience.

superior


and are you talking about the korean microwave rice?

 

[rooster]

Nah I’m talking about the small 1 lb boxes and bags of rice like uncle bens and rice o roni

 

[Bronson]

That's why I like having a nice toaster oven. Use it instead of my full size oven all the time

Re-heating pasta on the stove in a sauce pan is best imo

I can understand this. The level of appropriateness to use a microwave depends on the food we’re talking. Specificity is key. Like with most things.

 

[Bronson]

Can’t be too good to use Chef Mike.

I kind of like how it makes reheated pizza a little rubbery.

I’m going to assume this is a joke?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

(WHile Home) If I am warming up any standalone protein, I am using a Toaster Oven.

Any protein with skin on it, I wouldn't even TAKE it to work because I wouldn't want the skin ruined from the microwave.

I’m going to assume this is a joke?

Knowing how he operates, I am sure he is 10000% serious.

 

[jape]

id take almost anything to work

 

[ahat]

Rice cooker is not necessary imo.

Pot on the stove. Drain it when cooked, little oil in the bottom of the pot, some potato slices if you feeling fancy or have guests over, rice back in the pot and let it steam. Get that nice crust on the bottom. Flip it out the pot onto serving plate.

 

[jape]

pepperoni,salami, sausage, bacon, jalapeño, olive and mushrooms

 

[rbk93]

A few measly morsels of lamb vindaloo for lunch. NT fat boys would be disappointed.

Is this the Trader Joe's frozen meal?

I like the "set it & forget it" convenience of a rice cooker. Keeps it warm & fresh all day as well. But that rice at the bottom of stove cooked rice is scrumptious.
