Why didn't anyone ever tell me about this hack?If you want your rice to be restaurant quality, you need to try using parboiled.Every grain is individual and chewy, it's never sticky or mushy.I honestly feel like I just discovered some food biz secret they don't want you to know about.
If your rice comes out looking sticky or mushy, you're using too much water. The grain absorbs so much water that the starch molecules blow apart into a sticky mess.Use less water.
>>20841717If you think "restaurant quality" means parboiled, you're a retard.Just buy a rice cooker and stop cooking your rice badly.
>>20841722>>20841727Hi retardsNot op btw>>20841717How do you do the parboiling at home?
Better hack. Stop eating rice. Rice sucks. It doesn't taste good, it has no nutritional value, it doesn't improve the dish, it doesn't have a good texture.While you can cook rice normally, it's not worth the hassle and consistent proper rice needs a rice cooker, but what kind of an idiot is going to buy another plastic chink toy just to cook rice?Not only are you buying cheap shit from an asian country, the rice itself is from some shithole asian country. Stop giving them money.You can replace rice with pasta or potatoes
>>20841736Hi OP
>>20841717Rice is horse food, then you eat the horse
>>20841727many restaurants use parboiled rice for a number of reasons. restaurant 'quality' is laughable though, rice is fucking rice unless you can't boil water and use a measuring cup. i have never left a restaurant wondering how they cook such amazing rice lmao.
>>20841717Yeah. You know how rice that's been refrigerated overnight is better for fried rice? That's because refrigerated rice's starch has been retrograded.Parboiling rice retrogrades the starch. So it's like rice that's already been refrigerated overnight.
>>20841804>consistent proper rice needs a rice cooker
>>20841717If you want bottom fork rice just use the boil in a bag rice.
>>20841736>How do you do the parboiling at home?Honestly just cook your rice then refrigerate it overnight (or do what I do and cook a shitload of rice at one time, put individual servings into little plastic bags and freeze them for later use), then use that rice to make whatever dish you want. If you just want rice, just reheat it after refrigerating it.Refrigerating it retrogrades the starch. The starch being retrograded is what gives parboiled rice its improved texture. You get the same effect from just refrigerating rice overnight (or freezing it) after you cook it.
>>20841804Is this pasta? It should be.
?We get perfect rice with normal-ass rice.
>>20842008No, it's rice

>>20842131>>20842131She's not wrong. Admittedly, I prefer the rice cooker only because it's easier but the rice comes out better when I cook it in a pot on the stove and there are a few different ways to cook it on the hob to get rice with different textures and other qualities, even if it's all cooked from the same bag of the stuff.I'm >>20842033 btw

>>20841901I also have never left a restaurant wondering how they cook such amazing rice.I have left wondering how they cook such absolutely fuck shit on more than one occasion though.
>>20841717I like parboiled rice too, except all the carbs.Can cook it in the microwave and it comes out fine every time. The texture is nice in its own way, I guess most people are snobs about it. Even though parboiled rice has more natural vitamins than white rice.

I have zojirushi rice cooker made from superior Chinese plastic folded over 100 times. You put a piece of kelp on top to make the rice fragrant then push a button. It sings a song when it's finished. I'll never have to eat restaurant quality rice again.
>>20843963>Chineseyou didn't get a made in japan Zoji model?Oof
>>20843303ricedick shill
It's crazy how many people can't cook rice at all. But it's not their fault to be honest. Usually the printed cooking guidelines usually have you add WAY too much water. Double the amount needed often.
>>20844157Is that really what I've been doing wrong?! My rice always comes out mushy and all I've done is follow the directions on the package. the ratio on the bag is 2 parts water, 1 part rice. I figured I was just overcooking it or something.
>>20841717looks like subparboiled rice to me if you know what I mean
>>20844181My ex-chink gf taught me and this method never failed me for Jasmin or Basmati rice. Wash the rice then 2 parts rice 1.5 parts water and some salt into the pot. Cook until no water is left on the top then take off the heat and let it sit for another few minutes. Done.
>>20844187Ohh and keep the lid on. Especially when you let it rest/steam at the end. Thats pretty crucial.
>>20841804>it has no nutritional value,Brown rice has plenty of fiber and vitamins. Even moreso when sprouted. Every single word of your post is incorrect, it's kind of impressive.
>>20841717Either you've been totally fucking up your rice or you've been only to the shittiest restaurants of all time
>>20843408NTA, but know your rice.Different types of rice require different water ratios for the best result, that's literally all there is to it.Quick and dirty ruleset, which would be a good starting point is (going by volume, water:rice)>1:1 or lower for jasmine and short-grained rice>1-1.5:1 for your standard long grain rice>1.5-2:1 for basmati and brown riceYou'll just have to learn to adjust the water volume on your own to the specific brands of rice that you're using.As for the instructions, they are the same, regardless of the rice type.>put rice in the pot, pour the water over it>on the highest heat, bring to the boil>let it boil for 15 to 30 seconds>cover, reduce the heat to low, set your timer to 15 minutes (30-40, if cooking brown rice)>if not serving immediately, take a fork or any other utensil you can lay your hands on, and fluff it to release the steamThere you have it. A couple of final remarks>you can recover underhydrated (and undercooked) rice, by keeping it on the burner and slowly adding water in small increments, until reaching the desired doneness level>there's no analogous process that would allow you to salvage an overly hydrated, mushy rice, act accordingly>I mostly cook with jasmine rice, so I've omitted mentioning adding any salt, however I found most other types of rice are better when cooked in a slightly salted water, use your own judgment here
>>20842820do you have that in minesweeper flavor?
>>20842131Actually, I think it's far more autistic to think that you can't make good rice with "pot and lid", as you put it, and need a rice cooker.A rice cooker is for convenience, a fire and forget way to cook rice. I have a rice cooker myself, but sometimes I want to just clean 1 thing instead of 2 things, so I use a pot.
>>20844376I would say it's extremely autistic to post skill issue anytime a rice cooker is mentioned on the board.
>>20844187>>20844193i will try this, thank you. the little pot I like to use has a vent hole in the lid. I've covered it with tape before for things that needed the steam to stay inside. I'm gonna assume I'll need to do that for this as well, right? Or does it matter if the steam vents out?
>>20844399Unless you have the hatches to secure the lid in place, it doesn't matter, since the steam will escape anyway.
I just put the rice and water into a pot with some salt (and maybe some seasonings I might want them to absorb as well, depending on the dish), get it up to a boil, wait a minute, then turn it down to low and cover it, cooking until the top is no longer wet, then I leave it covered off heat until the rest is readyPerfect rice every time

>>20841717I've never cooked rice like the above, always the bottomI don't use a rice cooker, I'm just not a moron.Pro tip, if you know how to measure water correctly, you simply cook until holes appear in the rice, turn off the heat, stir it up and cover it again allowing it to steam for the last few minutes. This will not only produce a superior rice but will also keep it from sticking to the pot.
>>20844399You just turned it into a pressure cooker. Try not to kill anyone.

If you're stupid enough to complain about anime on an anime website, you're probably too stupid to correctly cook your rice like pasta, draining 60 percent of the arsenic into the sink in the process.
>>20846833Why would that be needed as almost all of it is in the bran, which isn't present in white rice.To take it further if that's your concern you could not be massive retard and buy rice that wasn't grown in the southern United States.

You are a bad person and should feel bad.
>>20846874Almost all of it is, what's left is on the exterior of the rice due to the process of polishing the bran off, which can be removed by rinsing the rice.Further more you could avoid rice grown in old cotton fields and not have this issue at all.

The amount of people who cannot cook rice on a stove astounds me, it's so simple and incredibly easy and gets results every time. You can do things with rice on a stove top with a pan and lid that you cannot do in a rice cooker. Yes -- you can make better rice in a stove pot than you can with a rice cooker. It's so easy to cook rice. All you need to know is water ratio. That's literally it. Everything else about rice on a stove (spices, seasonings, fragrants, oils, butter, salt, stock etc.) is just a cherry on top. All you need is a pan and a lid and to know the water ratio... seriously, you have Google, you have a supercomputer in your pocket, just ask that for the water ratio and there you go. Bring it to the boil and put the lid on and turn it down low and cook it for the requisite amount of time... easy rice. It's not hard! You don't need $100+ rice cookers, fucking hell
>>20848890I'll continue to use my rice cooker
>>20848890Rice cookers are the ultimate sign of a cooklet.
>>20848893I'll continue to make restaurant-quality rice on my stovepot for 0 effort and not have a huge-ass rice cooker to clean after every time
>>20848895A rice cooker is zero effort too, doesn't require any monitoring, and also only has two things to wash or even just one every time, and you save a burner too. Seems like it's a far better choice to use a rice cooker to me.
>>20848906Rice cooker is way more effort than stove top lmfao. Continue being a cooklet noob.Washing a pan vs. a huge-ass cooker pan covered in starch. Cooking just enough rice that you need vs. cooking too much and having it sit around in the cooker. You don't need to monitor stovetop rice. Stop being lazy. Stop telling yourself bullshit that isn't true. Learn to do it right and do it yourself. Why are you even on /ck/ honestly?
>>20848890I like my rice cooker because it keeps it warm for two or three days as good as if I had just made it. Rice is very difficult to reheat without damaging the texture or taste. Basically eat it cold or make fried rice with it because everything else is bad. Also my kitchen is very small. If you're super rich and can afford the space to make it on the stove then that's great. Set the table with five different forks five different spoons, three different knives, linen napkin, three goblets for white wine, red wine, water, a cordial glass, and digestif glass. For the rest of us a rice cooker saves a lot of space and time. I can make rice twice a week and be good. On the stove top it becomes a daily chore, possibly a chore done more than once a day. Too much trouble.
>>20848895Restaurants use rice cookers.>>20848916>covered in starchlmao, oh i see now. it's ok anon, no one will judge you too harshly for being poor and making shit up about rice cookers
>>20848890>spices, seasonings, fragrants, oils, butter, salt, stock etcAll of that is doable with a rice cooker too anon.Maybe stop inventing your own fantasies about rice cookers.
>>20848890>>20848893>>20848894>>20848906 Haven't you people had this argument enough times? Personally I cook on the stove. I cook rice only a couple times a week for only 2 people, my demand for rice is not that high. I've perfected the technique so I'm comfortable with it. I also want to keep the number of appliances I use as low as possible because I like to keep the counters clear.Other anons might be cooking rice every day for a lot more people, in which case a rice cooker makes more sense. Maybe some anons just prefer how the appliance cooks and don't mind the occupied counter space. Maybe some anons just don't give a fuck and defer to the machine which perfectly cooks their rice every time. What the FUCK is the difference? The end result is the same, you get rice.
>>20848916I pop out the pot and lid of the rice cooker and wash them, they are no more ungainly to wash than any other pot and lid. You do realize that you don't wash the entire rice cooker right, because it seems like you don't know that at all.I'll never make stovetop rice unless it's biryani, get fucked loser.
>>20844187How did she figure out how to not be Chinese anymore?
>>20848890>I prefer a rice cooker because I find it more convenientThis is a perfectly legitimate argument.The rice cooker is still inferior because you can't use it to cook rice like pasta and drain 60% of the arsenic out, but it's still a legitimate argument.>a rice cooker makes better rice than a pot on a stoveThis is an argument only a cooklet would make.
>>20849384Every time I've had rice from a pot from someone who SWEARS they make "perfect" rice, it has been shit.Literally every time.Maybe you just prefer shit rice? Because a good rice cooker (with good rice) mogs any stove top prepared rice.

Wait, people measure the rice and water? I just boil water in a kettle and add more to the rice if it doesn't seem enough
If you do not lab test your own rice you cannot be sure it does not have unhealthy amounts of arsenic in it.
>>20849513I'll continue to use my rice cooker regardless of what you think. I also use a smoker instead of the grill I have to smoke meat, I use my pizza oven instead of my kitchen oven for pizza too.

>>20849561Do you drink unfiltered water ever? Do you breathe city air? Do you use plastic things?There are a lot of things that negatively impact health, worrying about arsenic in rice isn't anywhere near the top of the list for things that can poorly effect you.
>>20849573especially if you buy your rice from regions that are known to not have high levels of arsenic in the soil.
rice is fucking shit. takes way too much effort to make at home unless you want to waste money on a unitasker and even then it takes forever, and it tastes like dog turds compared to even the most humble loaf of homemade bread. old rice tastes stale quickly but you can bake a loaf and it stays fresh for days. breadmaking less work too, because you can just make some no-kneed dough, and freeze whatever you don't use for later. fuck rice.
Are people ITT actually saying that cooking rice is hard? I don't know shit about cooking but boiling rice in a pot is something even I manage to do.
>>20849596why would people who can cook browse the fast food board?
>>20849573It is excessively easy to reduce arsenic content of rice by 60% and there is no reason not to do so.
>>20849616The reason not to do so is because my rice doesn't fucking have arsenic to begin with and parboiling is not the same as steaming, and you're delusional if you think the resulting rice is the same (or god forbid you're so fucking retarded you think the texture of parboiled rice is BETTER).
>>20844376 Bro, do you know any Asians? They all use a rice cooker.
>>20841717I don't like overly chewy rice, it reminds me of what I used to eat in school.

>>20844399 You need to seal that vent hole. Use JB Weld. Use a lot. Clamp down the lid tight with 3 or 4 C clamps. It is preferable to make a flour and water paste to put on the lip of pot to make a really good seal. This may be omitted if you are in a hurry. I usually go by feel, but 15 or 20 minutes is ideal. t. Master Ricemaker
>>20849616But if you aren't a poor retard you don't buy rice grown in an old cotton field and if you aren't retarded you would know that even the studies whose numbers you parrot without understanding would have said that almost all of the arsenic is in the bran and germ, both of which aren't present in white rice. But you're retarded so these ideas are just out of reach for you, sad, many such cases.
>>20849630>my rice doesn't fucking have arsenic to begin withThis is wrong.At best it has a very small amount.You don't know the amount is very small if you don't lab test it though.>but muh qualitySkill issue.>almost all of the arsenic is in the bran and germ, both of which aren't present in white rice. We've already established this is incorrect:>>20846874>>20846899
I make absolutely perfect quality rice every time by cooking it like pasta. The only "trick" is getting the simmer time correct. You simmer, drain, return to pot, cover for 10 minutes and it's done. The simmer time is the only variable which alters the quality. Get the simmer time correct and the quality is perfect.I produce absolutely perfect quality rice this way and I remove 60 percent of the arsenic by doing so. This makes me an objectively better human being than those with skill issues which prevent them from doing this.Arsenic is literally poison and you don't know your rice doesn't have unhealthy amounts of it unless you literally lab test your rice yourself once per year.Anyone who doesn't take the excessively simple, easy step of cooking rice like pasta to mitigate potential health to harm from arsenic is a fucking idiot and if this describes you, I am a better human being than you.
>>20849686If you actually bothered to read any of the more recent studies they're almost all about how once it's processed into white rice and rinsed, as long as you're not cooking it in water with high levels of arsenic, then you're fine.The issue is in areas that DON'T have access to better soil without arsenic, and areas that have arsenic in their water. There is ZERO health concerns for someone in the first world eating japanese rice.> Inorganic As species are more toxic than methylated forms to humans. We found here that the inorganic As concentration in the grain of Japanese rice cultivars did not exceed 0.3mgkg−1, even when the total As concentration reached levels of more than 3mgkg−1. If a Japanese person weighing 53.5kg consumes an average of 160g of rice per day and the maximum concentration of inorganic As in the grain is presumed to be 0.3mgkg−1, then the calculated intake of inorganic As from rice would be 0.9µgkg−1 BW per day. This value is a possible maximum intake of inorganic As from rice; 0.48µgkg−1 BW per day or less would be a reasonable average value for As intake from rice by the Japanese people because of MAFF's average total As value of 0.16mgkg−1 in brown rice. Regardless, both values are far less than the current BMDL0.5.>Taken together, these findings suggest that As health risk need not be taken into account in the choice of rice cultivars in Japan; instead, field management practices such as water management are very important factors for controlling total As accumulation in Japanese rice.
>>208497062010 study. 14 years old.You don't know your rice doesn't have unhealthy amounts of arsenic unless you literally lab test your rice yourself once per year.I am correct.
>>20849714You don't know your rice doesn't have unhealthy amounts of uranium in it
>>20849714Lmao, you're a fear-mongering retard that buys his cheap $1/kg rice from Arkansas.Enjoy your Arsenic, probably more arsenic in your shitty rice AFTER your rinsing/parboiling bullshit than my rice has even before rinsing it.When you start out with 100x more arsenic than my rice, even if you remove 99% of it, my rice still has less.
>>20849722>incorrect assumption>RedditspacingTerrible post.
>>20849686>cites a study that used rice grown only in the south You are retarded and parboiled rice is trash, just like your opinions.
>>20848890Tranny chinkcel cope. I've done it as it's supposed to be done and it doesn't work. The amount of water the rice absorbs is completely random. The chance of getting the rice perfect is too small for such a mediocre ingredient. Who the fuck actually wants to eat rice? Fucking asian poverty food that we import in our countries. What a scam.
>>20849736>The amount of water the rice absorbs is completely random.Not an issue when you cook it like pasta, the objectively correct way. No more worry about proper water ratio, and removes 60% of the poisonous arsenic. It is the objectively correct way to make rice and only cooklets disagree.
>>20849596It's not hard, it's luck based.Everyone who is a self proclaimed expert on rice cooking says the same exact thing. All of them saying that you just stick a finger up your ass and measure the water. I've done it, it doesn't work. I've done the washing rice thing and it only makes the rice worse.
>>20848940you're leaving rice in the rice cooker for days, still warm, and not refrigerating it? based retard
>>20849754Read his posts more. He's a fucking cooklet. He says he does that because reheated rice is bad.This means he doesn't know how to reheat rice because he's a fucking cooklet.
>>20849746Every ''professional'' says to cook it in a way that all the water is absorbed as the rice is done cooking.Everyone I know cooks rice in the shitty plastic bag and their rice comes out perfect (and full of micro plastics)To me it seems like cooking it in more water is probably the better option, but rice is such a low tier food I am never touching that shit again. Fucking tasteless bird food.
>>20849758How do you reheat rice properly?
>>20849754My rice cooker can keep cooked rice for 3 days without refrigeration.
>>20849853Post the model you own, I doubt it actually has 72 hour keep warm.Most likely it's 24-48 hours, and you're using it longer than the manufacturer recommends.
>>20849854In America it's limited to 36 hours, the same model in Japan can do 48h. I would imagine it's related to USDA overreach.
>>20849878So yeah, you go beyond what the manufacturer recommends.
>>20849895Sorry it's 72 hours in Japan not 48. It's literally the same product, the manufacturer doesn't decide what the USDA says is safe. The only difference between the two is what country they are sold in.
Just made some black beans and rice with rice that I cooked like pasta then refrigerated for later use. Delicious. Perfect texture.Damn it feels good to not be a cooklet and to have 60 percent less arsenic in my body than cooklets.
>>20849919Tell me the model number, I'll happily look it up to prove you wrong.
On a cooking board, that the people who cannot cook think that they are allowed to make fun of anybody, is a fucking laugh. Even people who are willing to try but havent yet mastered the technique, ie they still suck, are infinitely better than them.So yeah shut the fuck up about your rice cookers. Nobodys gonna applause your ability to push a button.
>>20849946Go damn i miss the IP counter, at least then it would be more obvious (to other anons) you're the same fag who has been shitting up this entire thread.
>>20849956Take your meds.
>>20849960Only if you keep posting about arsenic and how amazing you are at cooking.
>>20849956I knew you were gonna pull the samefag shit since i knew you were a coward.
>>20849963>phone posterInto the trash it goes
>>20849977You are such a fucking weasel. First its >samefag then its >phoneposting. Next im sure youll find some other bullshit excuse to complain about to get away from the fact that you cant cook. Not only are you unable to cook, you are unwilling to learn, unwilling to fail, unwilling to experiment. Then you turn around and point at people who are willng to do those things and you laugh at them and you say haha watch me push this button.Youre a pussy bitch.
>>20849987have a puff off your asthma puffer and calm down sweaty
>>20849996You are so predictable too. I just knew you were gonna try to be aloof and be like haha im not gonna take what you say seriously. Anything to not have to face the fact that you are incompetent.
>>20850007you're not even talking to the same person moron
>>20850013Whats the difference you also use a rice cooker and also dont know how to cook.

>>20850016>>20850017Why dont we talk about cooking yeah? This is a cooking board not the faggot i suck cock for a living board. Do you know how to cook rice without using a machine?
>>20850018>makes disingenuous appeal to get people back on topic, ends statement with autismNewfag phone posting retard
>>20850025Haha do you know who you are fooling by these avoidance tactics? Youself thats who. Thats the only person being fooled by them. Face facts bitch, you cant cook. Once you can accept that fact then you can do something about it. Until then, keep using your machine and keep being a bitch.
>>20850033I'll keep using my rice cooker, your poverty autism screeching won't change that.
>>20850036>I'll keep using my rice cookerWell i think we all saw that coming. Cowards gonna coward.
>>20850040>screeches more Okay
>>20850054How horrific it is that i have to share a board with people like this.If i go to the /diy/ board and they ask me if i know how to make a table/chair/desk i say no. I dont say haha fucking losers i go to ikea and buy whatever i want what are you poor. The fact that this bitch think that he can make fun of people who cook on a cooking board. I dont even know what to call it. Its so bizzare.
>>20850076>the phone poster still postsDidn't read, don't care.
>>20841717How the fuck are you just finding out about Uncle Ben’s rice? Have you never eaten rice from a cafeteria or had rice cooked by a black person or Greek?
>>20850091>people post on discussion boardCrazy. And i didnt post it for your benefit so whether you read it or not is of no difference to me. I just need to vent that there are a number of faggots shitting up the board thats all.
>>20850101It's amazing how shit this entire website has become due to phone posting, it's too bad faggots like you have access to the Internet.
>>20850105Why dont you know how to cook rice?
>>20850107>if you don't do something like I do then you can't cookA U T I S MUTISM
>>20850110But you cant cook. All you know how to do is push a button. Do you know back in the day, before rice cookers, when the adults go to the field and do farm work, they leave the cooking to literal toddlers to do? I mean the cooking back then was pretty simple and there was nothing extravrgant to prepare. Still literal toddlers was able to do it.
>>20850119>if you use a tool you can't cookHuh, I better throw out my smokers and pizza oven then too, also my stand mixers, dough mixer, and ice cream maker. You are an insufferable autist and I hope you are victimized by the blackest African from your town.
>>20850119More than a billion people in Asia use a rice cooker everyday.
>>20850119>I mean the cooking back then was pretty simple and there was nothing extravrgant to prepare.Source for that lmfao? It was a thousand time more complex than now.
>>20850124Im not talking about those things im talking about rice. Lets not change the subject yeah? I know its difficult for you but lets try.>>20850127I am one of those billion. I have had more rice cooker than all the rice cooker people in this thread combined.I now cook on the stove. And i am better than those that dont.
>>20850133>n-no those tools are different They aren't, they are tools that do very specific things that can largely be replicated in more slow and inefficient ways, just like stove top rice. This is called logical equivalence, I'm deeply sorry this sort of thought experiment is too hard for you to understand you cretin.
>>20850133No, you’re not better than the billion rice cooker using Asians. You’re just some retard shitposting on a nearly dead board in a thread about some moron just discovering parboiled rice in current year. You’re an exceptional loser among a group of losers. Every Asian housewife who clicks her rice cooker on in the morning to make rice for her family is better than you.
>>20850131What do you think peasants were eating shark fins? 99% of the time all they had was rice and some vegetable boiled in a soup.>>20850140Well since you listed a bunch of stuff i didnt wanna go into details about each once of them. But if you insist then yes you need to throw them all out. If you use them it means you cant cook. Its that simple.>>20850147Wrong.
>>20850171>my opinions are objective factsYou have autism and no one truly cares about what you have to say. Your screeching is very funny though.
>>20850174Why cant you cook rice? Illiterate toddlers 100 years ago do it everyday.
>>20850171>What do you think peasants were eating shark fins? 99% of the time all they had was rice and some vegetable boiled in a soup.retardinholololololololo
>>20850182Please educate me on this topic which im sure you know a lot about.
>>20841901>unless you can't boil water and use a measuring cupYou rang?
Why does cooking superior rice with a single button press set off rice autists in particular? Do we have toast autists who kvetch when grandma makes superior morning toast with a single lever push?
>>20850662>why do people on a cooking board seethe when i boast about my ability to not cooksure is a mystery
>>20850702I use a pan to boil my tea water. I look down on anyone with a kettle, electric or otherwise. I also have never owned a microwave and didn’t have one as a kid either. Haven’t had fast food since the 90s.
>>20850747I dont know if youre being serious or ironic but unironically im exactly the same. And yes i look down on anyone who do otherwise.
>>20850747>>20850753>I look down on anyone with a kettleBut why? That's really strange of you, it's simply faster and more convenient.
>>20850762Thats just what happens when you have a skill that others dont. If i spoke 5 languages i would look down on anyone who only speaks 4. Dont like it? Get on my level.
>>20841717yea I got swept up on parboiled rice at restaurants when I was a kid, too. it's really mediocre after the third or fourth time you learn to make it at home, though. I would use it every time with seafood and a light broth or stock but otherwise, it's got a very distinct heavy, granular texture and it doesn't suck up flavor very well. I would say learn how to properly wash and fluff other types of rice , specifically basmati or sushi rice because they can be adapted to literally any palate with some quickly sauteed ingredients or one again, broths, stocks, sauces, oils or fats. Also, contrary to popular beliefs itt-rice cookers are just way easier than constantly checking up on your pot of rice on the stove. I have a $30 rice cooker that cooks any type of rice after being properly prepared in less than an hour. It's silly that anons here are suggesting you can get top tier rice in a faster time frame.
>>20850747>>20850772sounds just like the cultural chauvinism south asians have about wiping their dirty asshole with their hands
>>20850753I’m completely serious. No one ever believes I’ve never had a microwave and I’m in my late 30s.
>>20849513Why'd you quote me among the rice cooker users? Are you just retarded?
>>20850819Oh they believe you. They're just bewildered by how enthusiastic you are to tell people.
>>20841804>Not only are you buying cheap shit from an asian countryI know this is old and bait, but there was more care and sophistication in my Japanese rice-cooker's manual than the owner's manual of my fucking American car. I don't understand how Americans still delude themselves into thinking we still make the highest quality stuff when basically every other 1st world country has manufacturing standards and culture leagues ahead of us.
>>20850772>skillBoiling water in a pan isnt skill. Kettles are nice, especially if you drink different types of tea with different extraction temps
Alright guys, today I cooked rice and I don't believe any of you anymore. I'm a total retard when it comes to cooking. Yet it took me less than 10 minutes in a normal pot, I spent half of the time doing other things and the rice turned out perfect. I refuse to understand how this is supposed to be complicated.
>>20851530>and the rice turned out perfectthis is subjective, what rice are you used to?If you're eating shit rice, then shit rice is going to be just as good as any other shit rice you've had.
>>20841804Pretty much agree. It's okay once in a while. Definitely just pure calories with no nutritional value, though.
>>20851536A mixture of jasmine and basmati rice
>>20851548Lollmao evenwell at least you admit you buy shit rice.
>>20851551Post good rice or you're just being silly
>>20851551Imagine being elitist about rice lmao. I bet you don't even grow your own rice in your garden.
>>20851563
Admit it, how many of these ricer cooker faggots are zoomers? I bet almost all of you are; learning to do something properly scares you and you have just barely enough imagination in you that you can conjure up elaborate bullshit hysterias and delusions about why you cannot do a certain thing e.g. cook rice in a stove on the hob.100% a high amount of the rice cooker faggots ITT are zoomers in the mid-20s at most. I guaran-fucking-tee it
>>20849736Basmati rice: 1.5 amount of water to how much rice you put in.So let's go over this, zoomertard: I put 2 cups of rice in. I then use that same cup to measure out 3 cups of water. That's how much water I use for my rice.RETARD
>>20851599I put 3 cups because 2 cups of rice x 1.5 for water ratio IS THREE.You can use any jar, cup, mug, glass, container or ANYTHING THAT HOLDS RICE OR WATER to do this very simple measurement. Retarded fux
>>20851595I'm in my 30s.My household has had a rice cooker since the late 1980s when my parents got married (wedding gift).The first Zojirushi we had last for about 15 years, we got another Zojirushi in the mid 2000s that is still being used by my mom today. When I moved out I got a free Panasonic rice cooker from a friend, but the bowl wore out after a few years and i couldn't get a replacement so around 2021 I went and bought myself a new Zojirushi (NP-HCC10XH).Also anyone buying a rice cooker for non-japanese rice is a moron, all of these rice cookers are designed to cook japanese rice specifically, they'll have modes that work for Jasmine/Basmati but they're not really made for that.
>>20851606Yes but that's just you isn't it
>>20850791>Also, contrary to popular beliefs itt-rice cookers are just way easier than constantly checking up on your pot of rice on the stove. I have a $30 rice cooker that cooks any type of rice after being properly prepared in less than an hour. It's silly that anons here are suggesting you can get top tier rice in a faster time frame.It seemd impossible to me, but maybe the anti-rice cooker autist was onto something after all.
>>20851608And you're just you.What's your point?Somehow your life experiences are more "correct" than my own?
>>20851582>short grain stickyPleb
>>20851627If you're buying a rice cooker for anything BESIDES short grain japanese rice, you're a moron.
>>20851629I don't, I never had a need for one.I've just never seen short grained rice, from rice cooker or not, that would approach top end jasmine rice in either taste or texture.
>>20851635hahahahahahahahahahahahahai really needed that laugh, thanks anon
The pro rice cooker/Japanese rice guy does not argue in good faith and is not sincere. He is just pretending to be retarded for (You)s. Do not take what he says seriously or assume it is good advice. He has been using the same trolling arguments for a very long time, in every goddamn rice thread on /ck/.
>>20851673>projecting this hardlmao
>>20851645Enjoy. Let's hope it will make the slop that you call rice go down better your gullet.
>>20851595I'm 35, my rice cooker was 650 USD. I only make rice on the stovetop for biryani, all other rice goes into the rice cooker.
>>20851836who the hell spends 650 on a rice cooker? mine was 20 and works fine for years now. is your rice cooker capable of inter-dimensional time travel or something?
>>20851856Japanese domestic market models can be even more expensive, they're just not sold in the US.
>>20851856Is $650 a lot of money to you? Besides blenders it's likely my cheapest kitchen appliance.
>>20851875It's a lot of money for a kitchen appliance period. I wouldn't dream of spending money or space on something I can do with a saucepan on the stove.
>>20851894How many posts do you have in this thread?Be honest.
>>20851896It was actually my first one. I think my juicer is my most expensive kitchen appliance besides my oven/range and refrigerator.
>>20851898lollmao evennice one kid, but we all know you're the same person who has been in here for 4 days straight talking about how you make perfect rice in a pot.
>>20851926Nah I'm not that guy. I bet my rice is better than his though
>>20841717All the rice you buy at the supermarket is parboiled already.
My rice can beat up your rice
>>20852053unironically tho >>20851582
>>20841717>niggas can't cook ricecooking rice is not some sort of esoteric process, just experiment a little to get the water ratio right depending on the rice, and remember that rice in the western world at least is fortified to better its nutritional value, which is why you should never wash it>>20841804I digest rice easier than pasta, at least dry, normal durum wheat one
>>20852056
>>20841722>>20841727I usually add 1 and 3/4 cups of water instead of 2 cups to one cup of rice.
>>20851894It really isn't, but okay. As I said, only biryani rice is made in a pot, everything else gets thrown into the rice cooker. In terms of space I own a house, I have room for it very easily.
>>20841717parboiled always fucking sticks to the roof of my mouth and my throat.
>>20852317Does it to something besides cook rice? Does it at least suck your dick or sell your data or anything? Because I see rice cookers on Amazon for $20
>>20852378That's why you should chew your food.
>>20852435I don't come into your home and piss in the upper decker of your toilet now do I?So don't tell me how to be eating me white wigglies.
>>20852439You should chew your food and urinate into the bowl of your toilet
>>20852434Does Rolex do something besides tell the time? Does it at least suck your dick or sell your data or anything? Because I see Casio on Amazon for $20
>>20841727>needing a machine to cook riceLiterally just put water and rice in a pot
>>20852587Now you're getting it
>>20852592i have no issue cooking rice in a pot no the stove, but a rice cooker does a better job with Japanese rice specifically.If all you're cooking is long grain rice, i'd agree just stick with the stove top.But if you enjoy japanese rice more than 3x a week, you might as well get a $200-400 rice cooker. After 10 years it's only ~$0.25 per use at the higher end, and ~$0.13 at the lower end.

>>20846907Because higher quality rice has almost twice the flavorAnd yes it's true that basmati and parboiled are both easier to cookOr you could learn how to read the package the rice is in and avoid these problems Restaurants use rice cookers for consistency. They are harder to mess up then pan/lid method

I'm impressed that /ck/ can have the exact same full length argument about rice cookers vs stovetop every single time rice is mentioned.Truly autistic dedication
My go-to jambalaya recipe calls for 2 cups of medium grain rice, but I'd like to use parboiled instead next time to see if I noticed a difference. How would you adjust?https://joythebaker.com/2022/02/chicken-and-sausage-cajun-jambalaya/
>>20854844It's mostly one troon sperging about muh skill issue muh pots and lids.
>>20854844It's mostly one troll who has been arguing insincerely in favor of Japanese rice cookers and Japanese rice for years.
>>20855054I would just reduce that final cook time down a little bit, maybe five minutes.
>>20854844It's mostly just me arguing back and forth with myself
>>20855072I mean xer is right about Japanese rice cookers being the best way to cook rice. They’re wrong about Japanese rice being the best rice, though. Different cuisines call for different kinds of rice. Not every rice is suited to every cuisine.
I do like parboiled rice because I'm nomadic and parboiled takes less energy to cook.
I don't have anything against rice cookers in principle, but I like to saute some garlic or shallots in the pan before cooking my rice. It makes it way better unless you really need plain rice for your dish. The other problem I have is that the good ones take like an hour and need to make way too much rice at once, whereas I can make whatever amount of rice I want in a pot.In principle I understand that a rice cooker should produce better results but just guessing cook times seems to work fine for me and produces better rice than I used to get from my cheap american rice cooker. The cheap ones truly are a meme in my opinion.

Rice can be considered as a way to cleanse your palate so you can enjoy the side dish more and so that you won't feel the need to eat or drink sugar at other times of the day. For those who consider rice to be a cheap filler: unlike carnivores are telling you the carnivore diet is not necessarily the most digestible diet. For those who consider rice as empty calories: it prevents consuming empty calories like sugary drinks, it's hydrating more than drinking plain water and it helps sustain an active lifestyle when you burn so much calories that you can't compensate with protein and fat without getting digestive issues.

>>20848890You know someone can't cook for shit if they can't even make rice on a stove, like how inept do you have to be?>>20849763>Fucking tasteless bird foodthis is true for base rice, usually plain white. It's meant to be more of a side dish. As in a filler to go with whatever tasty stuff you make. having plain rice alone is the equivalent of having only plain bread for a sandwich, gotta add some shit to go with it. Unless you're poor, then lots of rice for you and your kids.

>>20857987White rice is plenty flavorful itself. It's clean and nourishing.I don't add anything to my steamed rice, because I pair it with a very flavorful stew or stir fry filled with seasoning and spices. The rice acts as a counterpoint, it mitigates plate fatigue.
