kitchens/living spaces in a lot of east and se asia are smaller than your average one in europe or north america. you might only have 1 burner (if that) and having a rice cooker lets you use that to make somehting else and not have to leave your loving rice on for 20-30 minutes before or after you're cooking whatever else you're gonna eat.D-Pad posted:Came here to say this. Instant Pots are loving amazing. Get one for rice plus everything else it does. Then get the air fryer lid for it. It makes so many dishes so fast and easier than the traditional way. Gyoza with the instant pot air fryer lid is perfect every time. also you can get any 'ol pressure cooker made in the last 5 years. instantpot has done a good job branding itself but thats all it is. you can often find as good if not better ones for cheaper if you just get another brand.

oohhboy posted:Just in case there are people having trouble with what a rice cooker is. Honestly I just eyeball it every time and it makes for some variety in rice since my partner and I eat it almost daily. Today it's a bit softer! Tomorrow, it's approaching al dente. Who gives a gently caress. People 'round these parts aren't sitting around discussing the intricacies of perfect rice cooking, it's just a loving carb that makes you feel full and tastes nice with the other poo poo you cooked.

My wife intentionally leaves the rice in the cooker on warm for an extra or hour or two to really dry it out.

I was reading an article about cities beginning to hit 50C and it got me wondering how climate change is viewed by Chinese netizens. Like, we have doomers and earnest discourse in English media, but many of us are lucky to live in places that aren't facing such immediate dangers. We also don't have as much of the industry causing the damage near us anymore. What are people's perspectives like in that situation?

Devils Affricate posted:Aren't they already doing that with those arrests in the article you posted? Those groups disbanded before the law went into effect. No, not yet. The BBC article is garbage vague. https://hongkongfp.com/2020/07/29/b...s-security-law/ quote:On July 17, it announced the founding of its US division “[i]n these times when ‘Hong Kong independence’ has become a forbidden phrase that could [lead] to life imprisonment,“ they said. Shrimp or Shrimps posted:Honestly I hope they don't. They're young and have a lot of life left. Spending it in a reeducation camp or whatever sounds like it really sucks. This is not on them. Pretty much what China is trying to do to Australia for being first to push back simply for advocating for an investigation. China has been throw all sorts of threats since. Australia is close to "gently caress it" anti-China with announcements of new weapon purchases to counter China. I am surprised China has retaliated to the rest of 5 eyes especially UK to such extent ('F' Canadians). Suspect they might not be able to afford to attack everyone. China's idea of diplomacy is dumb af so has a limit been reached?

We also don't have as much of the industry causing the damage near us anymore. What are people's perspectives like in that situation? I hate all social media except for the forums format, and I also don’t have a very high tolerance for Chinese media in general, so I’m not the best source on this. However, based on Chinese social media I’ve been exposed to, I can offer a few observations. -People tend to self-censor pretty carefully, so there’s very little “earnest discourse” in terms of criticizing leadership directly. To an extent, I’m willing to recognize that this is just me demanding (justly or unjustly) different cultural signifiers for what is “earnest discourse” than are usually found in Chinese language media. -I’ve seen a good number of videos or articles describing American wastefulness and lack of commitment on the part of the average American to combating climate change. The criticisms are true, but also extremely one-sided. -Surprisingly, I’ve also seen a number of pieces praising Japan and Japanese society on the same points. -I’ve never seen or heard outright climate change denial like what exists in the US. However, the Chinese internet is heavily dominated (in my experience) by rightwing discourse that is growingly similar to global rightwing populism. I’ve recently heard it expressed that climate change is exaggerated by “white leftists” (basically, SJWs) and anyway the Chinese government is working hard on the problem and is bound to get it all sorted out.

I remember the first time I encountered a Japanese rice/multicooker in the year 2000, I marveled at the digital timer that cooked rice so you could wake up with perfect rice, the koge setting to make the nice burned rice stuff that you add bamboo shoots etc too, I went back to Australia and people were still in the dark ages, using a pot to make rice.

I always thought that rice was the most boring and unnecessary staple - sticky, dry, little taste. That's especially true for rice-cooker rice. That stuff is just filler, having to be rescued by your other meal components. No one would eat this as a dish. It isn't. It's nothing. Turns out that's really only the case because most people don't know how to cook rice correctly, including my former self. The single correct way to prepare rice is called Pilaf, and it transforms this meager ingredient into a dish of the gods. It's like risotto, but much better. The optimal point for preparation of rice has been found, and it is unique. There is literally no reason to waste good rice on anything else, except maybe sushi. I pity the fool who prepares rice in any other way, because they are wrong, their culture is wrong, and their line should be extinguished. Harsh truth, I know. But you need to hear it.

Let me in particular highlight the necessity of cooking rice in both fat and water and not just water. It's like a magic trick. Water - lovely boring concoction of regret. Fat (butter, ghee, from meat, broth, oil) +Water: Literal gourmet masterpiece that cures cancer. You are WELCOME. Edit: apparently it's actually Pilav not Pilaf. That's okay, call it what you like. Just don't prepare rice in any other way. Haramstufe Rot fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Jul 30, 2020 |

if your not sticking an oxo cube (or similar meat/veg stock cube) in your rice. Just lol. See also, dried herbs, and maybe a star anise at the bottom so you can turn out the rice like a pretty cake with a star on top. I'm not going to admit to having ever stirred in a can of tuna, mice (lol mince typo but china thread, who knows), or puree 5 mins after its done.

I don't understand the pilaf derail. You made fun of rice and said it can't stand alone. Then you post a recipe with rice that adds a bunch of other stuff to it.
