How many kinds of rice do you guys have on hand? I have a small NYC kitchen and it's getting ridiculous. Not helped by the six kinds of flour I already keep.

Same boat with small NYC kitchen, I have 4-5 kinds of flour and 3-4 kinds of rice on hand at any given time. Along with with 4-5 different sugars. And let's not get into the oil and vinegar cabinets...

Lebanese baked caramelized cauliflower with lemony tahini sauce

The butternut squash I'd just cube and roast with olive oil and sea salt, and scarf immediately.

I just kinda keep basmati on hand and use it for everything, getting sushi rice or other types on an as needed basis per recipe. There's nothing I have ever found that calls for basic long grain white rice that can't be improved with basmati, and imho the differences between basmati and jasmine are not pronounced enough that you can't sub one for another and still have a tasty dish.

Totally agree, basmati is the best rice and versatile enough.

We also keep a box of arborio rice for risotto.

Is there a service like Blue Apron, except they just give you the recipes and you buy all the ingredients?

I'm looking for something that sends you a PDF/etc weekly, which consists of an entire shopping list, and single-page recipes that you can print, with minimal interaction on the part of the user.

e: Something to this effect, except weekly dinners

It's time to buy new nonstick pans. I had some Scanpan cookware like 15 years ago that I adored (until they got lost in a move), and I see the company is still around.

What are the best of the best nonstick pans? I don't mind paying a bunch of money for something I'd adore like I did that Scanpan.

Well I guess All-Clad will happily let you pay US$200 for a 12" nonstick fry pan. And they're nice fry pans. But I don't see any reason to pay more than the like US$30 for a Tramontina unless you really loving hate the handle or something.

I think anolon makes the best nonstick poo poo but I'm basing that entirely on my own experience. I've had a set of anolon bronze for almost ten years and I use plastic utensils in it and wash it by hand and all that stuff.

If you go anolon: the grill pan is bullshit, avoid it. Don't buy the bakeware; it sucks.

My apartment in jersey city is fully Manhattan studio tiny. Were I to put in a queen bed and a couple of chairs, I’d have no floor space left.

I keep about a kilo each of white basmati (3 years aged), white hom Mali jasmine (new crop when in season), hom mali brown, jasmine black rice, sushi rice (I used to buy milky Queen, but it’s $14 a kg, so I switched to cal rose), and some kind of “fun” rice, like 1 year aged sella basmati for weird Persian food experiments. I used to also buy a few kg of medium grain brown rice as well, but I live alone, and I don’t have time for that anymore.

If I’m testing vendor rice samples, increase the Thai and Indian rice to about 2 kg each. I store them in mason jars, and all is well. For the brown rice, I vacuum pack and refrigerate it. When you freeze basmati, the grains get brittle, but I use brown rice so infrequently that I don’t like to leave it out in the room temp, because the oils will get rancid. Technically it should last 2 years on the shelf, but the temperatures in my apartment fluctuate wildly, because I leave the a/c off when I go to work, and then turn it on to subzero temps when I get home.

I usually just eat it on crackers or stir it into hummus but I'd say it'd be good as a quick pasta sauce or pizza topping too.

Ooh, it'd be a nice addition to a vegetable quiche or maybe even mixed into a bread dough

I like to use a ceramic nonstick rather than Teflon.

Either way, let it cool before washing and it'll be fine. I only really use it for eggs so I think my pan will last forever.

Glass jars for varieties that I buy in smaller quantities. For the bulk stuff like brown rice, I offload it from the big bag into several repurposed bpa-free nut jars that I've accumulated. Each one holds several pounds, and the narrower grip area on the back makes the jar easier to handle. The labels come off, and you end up with a nice transparent/lightweight/sealable container. They look nice all lined up in the pantry closet, and the contents stay fresh.

I shop at Harris Teeter and they sell rice in plastic jars just like that, all varieties. I bought some of the kinds I use, and now I just refill each jar with the right type of rice which I buy in bigger, more economical bags.

Most of my (bulk) dry goods are stored in various size stacking cambros:



The 4 qt cambros (the bigger ones there) are exactly the right size to hold a 5# bag of flour.
