I remember years ago going into a kitchenware store and asking the old Asian woman who works there* if she sold rice strainers (I know they exist because I had one my ex housemate nicked - a metal collander with more holes than usual, but tiny). She just looked at me with absolute bafflement and said "why not just add the right amount of water?" * I didn't ask her because she was Asian, it was the nearest shop and she was the only one working there.

It’s funny because white British people are massively late to the rice cooker game compared with the whole of Asia. I know this because I bought mine after I read Shu Han Lee’s book and she basically called anyone without one in 2021 a absolute dinosaur.

Since we're talking about cooking rice: I put my rice in microwave proof glassware, add the correct amount of water, some salt, a bay leaf, and put it in the microwave oven. Five minutes at maximum to get it close to boiling, then at defrost power for about half an hour. I've thought about buying a rice cooker, but I have no more space in my kitchen.

Regarde Aduck posted:there's no way most people could afford private health care in this country But our rulers don't want most people to. They want to have the best treatment for their rich selves. They also want the NHS to be a public facade, buying as much as possible at public expense from private firms they have shares in. Both of those mean they want most people to have as little healthcare as is possible without causing riots.

Just scored petrol with zero wait. I suspect I was slightly lucky (wet Saturday evening, a road closure cutting down on the usual passing traffic, word not having got out it was re-open, more cars having their filler on the right and people not wanting to lift the hose around) . I'd been at the supermarket is a few minutes before and the sight of a tanker refilling the place was causing a build-up of waiting cars in the car park.

What does a rice cooker do that a pan doesn't? Measure rice/water, gently cook until done doesn't seem like it needs specialist equipment.

About half the rice-eating world adds the right amount of water and the other half put in extra and strain it, I think. There's also some debate about whether you should rinse your rice or not. There's no one right answer to either of these things, though rice produced in certain regions contains potentially harmful levels of arsenic (at least, they're harmful levels if you eat rice daily), so you should wash that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3CHsbNkr3c WhatEvil fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Oct 2, 2021 |

I MADE RICE TONIGHT in my instant pot by putting 1 (one) cup of rice and 1 (one) cup of water in a metal bowl which I sat on top of my sauce which I'd already cooked in the instant pot and then pressure cooked it all for 5 minutes. Nice fluffy rice, no water left, easy peasy.

I was sceptical but the cheap non-stick aluminium ones just work measure rice, measure water. Click button and then come back to rice. Means you can ignore that side of things and concentrate on whatever you are doing with it, or, if you are tired hungry and cold you just put the rice on, add soy sauce and fluff up and you got comfort food in 20 mins. Another reason is if you are doing rice for a large number of people the pan size you need takes up the whole stove top, which is why the ones that do 30 portions are so popular.

Having recently discovered that the number of times I have burnt food in pans is considered abnormal and dangerous, I am even more grateful to my rice cooker than I was before.

Five minutes at maximum to get it close to boiling, then at defrost power for about half an hour. Funnily enough, I just did some rice in the microwave. I put 100g in a sieve and rinsed it off with cold water, then tipped that into a pyrex bowl. Boiled it up (10mins on full power 800W microwve) then tipped the excess water back into the sieve. Job done. It is now cooking in the microwave along with some frozen mixed veg, 2 eggs and 50g frozen minced beef. (I just had a 2 hour zoom call this evening so I need sustenance). My rice strainer looks pretty much like this:

Nice fluffy rice, no water left, easy peasy. I got a really good base recipe for you. 2 tins chopped tomatoes. Next you can add tomatoes, peppers, courgettes or not depending on what you have in Ginger garlic herbs spices Get the trivet and then put 500g chicken breast on top of it. Pressure cook on high 20 mins. Remove chicken and trivet, blend the sauce with a stick blender. Add 100g of butter. You can also add cream at this point if you have any as well. Put half the sauce aside, add the chicken back into the remainder and sauté while doing rice or your method if you prefer.

A less capable writer would struggle to convincingly portray such a grateful character inhabiting this bleak, almost Ballardian view of the future. Your use of the first person here is breath-taking in the way it imprisons the reader within the narrator's own optimism. 11/10

Very popular when I lived in Japan/Korea where you have rice with nearly everything. Cook a load of rice and it can stay in the rice cooker from when you need it at breakfast all the way through to when you get back for tea. Also it makes something cooked that often just a bit more effortless. The same way you could make toast under the grill, but a toaster is easier. Or use a kettle on the hob v electric one.

I prefer kettle on the hob to electric kettle but what with the projected gas prices and with the tin whistle on mine dying, I just got one of those cup boilers (boils between 50 and 250mL at a time, so up to exactly 1x metric cup, as well as being for your cup cup) and it's more convenient than either and supposedly cheaper, which makes sense. Once you get a feel for the amount that it dispenses at each point on the dial you can use it to straight fill gravy, sauces, stuffing, etc without a measuring jug too.
