Are these worth it? Can I just buy the big bag of rice at the store and put some in and it cooks it
>>20913619That's how it works yes
>>20913625No it isn’t. You also have to add water.
>>20913619Yes just add water. Pro tip: add a bottle cap of white vinegar, learned that from a Chinese chef on it
>>20913619I don't recommend that rice cooker, get something a bit more expensive.t. Had that same rice cooker in college, sucked bad
>>20913630>>20913636interestingdoes the water affect the taste? i can just use water from a bottle, i dont have a sinkwhat does the vinegar do and is it a flat amount or should I add less if I cook just 1-2 cup of rice
>>20913619chink here it is very worth it just don't spend too much on it. even the superior ones that deliver higher quality rice aren't all that worth it.
>>20913638stop shilling for capitalism and overpriced products you fucking moron
>>20913646Never EVER use tap water. The quality of the water you use determines how your rice taste. I always use purified water. Vinegar does to rice the same to potatoes, you don't need to add much.
>>20913652stop shilling for capitalism and overpriced products you fucking moron
>>20913656Aromas are based you must be thinking of some overpriced Japanese or Korean bullshit.
>>20913619i've gone full circle from cooking rice on the stove to using one of those in your pic to buying a zojirushi and now back to just cooking it on the stove. takes half the time of the quick setting on the zojirushi and a third of the full setting, and I get the crunchy rice at the bottom of the pan again.
>>20913638Don't listen to him, he's a consoomer. I've been using the same $20 aroma for ten years.
>>20913619I am Chinese, anyone who still uses them in 2024 is retarded. If you use it, your family will die too.
>>20913619I have a super nice Japanese one and I never use it.
>>20913656>stop shilling for capitalismI would ask what you even mean by this comment but you are too stupid to formulate an answer
>>20913724Can I have it
>>20913727>le CONSOOOOM is le goodbitch
>>20913723nigger tier pfas up the wazoo. you should replace this cheap chinkshit with another piece of cheap chinkshit. that garbage ends up in your food.no wonder people walk around with a creditcard worth of plastic in them.
>>20913698My zoji can cook 4 cups of rice in around 20 minutes.
>>20913762so can my [regular saucepan]
>>20913762I doubt it, unless you're using specific quick cooking rice.Zojis, by design take longer to cook the rice, it brings out more flavour.
>>20913770That's my point, ding dong.>>20913775Wrong and no. It has a super fast cook mode. The rice doesn't come out quite as nice as the normal setting, but it is cooked and fluffy.
>>20913619I just spent the extra money to get an electric pressure cooker. You can cook much more than rice and the rice it does make is really good.
>>20913778>Wrong and no. It has a super fast cook mode. TNo it doesn't.If you think it does, tell me the model number.
>>20913833Dumbass. Don't tell me what my rice cooker can and can't do. Who do you think you are?
>>20913619I had the very rice cooker in your picture until rather recently, I'm very glad I got a different one.
>>20913838Stop posting photoshopped pictures
>>20913838Bro what happened to your head
>>20913784Pressure cooker rice is bad
>>20913619yes, its super convenient
>>20913838Wew, I thought my rice cooker was expensive.
>>20913846Teehee.>>20913847You do not want to know.>>20913859Love that cooker so much even if I had to memorize a handful of moonrunes. Fantastic rice. It has this function that toasts the bottom of the rice to make awesome claypot meals.
>>20913903>he uses the option that the manual literally tells you will result in shit ricewell, you do you my friend.
>>20913903Hey mine has the claypot function too. Its actually the only thing i use the rice cooker for. it works pretty well!
>>20913925Sometimes you just want fast rice. It comes out about 15% worse than if you use the normal setting. Regardless the whole point is to show that some rice cookers can cook rice very quickly.>>20913929Nice! Somehow it works perfectly everytime and has never burnt my rice. I love the smell of toasted rice so much.This recipe is one of my staples. It comes out so amazingly good. Just place everything on top of the rice + pre measured water and then mix it up when it's all done cooking.https://www.madewithlau.com/recipes/clay-pot-rice
>>20913619Put 2 cups of water in a pot and boilPut a cup of rice in and stirTurn down to simmer, cover and walk away for 15 minutes.Congratulations you have perfect rice and you didn't need a stupid fucking gadget.
>>209139662:1 makes shitty mushy rice.
>>20913945I use this one https://youtu.be/yDd1lJN9VPE?feature=shared
>>20913966it's 1:1 water to rice +1/2 cup
>>20913973No it doesn't. I'd take a pic of some i have in the fridge but I forgot my phone at work.
>>20913979It depends on what kind of rice you are cooking.>>20913992Maybe it doesn't if you're using the shittiest oldest rice, but good quality rice is ruined with that ratio.
Actually I found my phoneNot mushy
>>20913992I have never heard of a rice type that uses 2:1 water to rice, either it's 1:1 or 1.5:1Sounds like you're just tasteless.
>>20914002>not mushyThe rice isnt even in grain form anymore, it's shit.
>>20913977Small differences looks great. I like the idea of frying off the sausage with some stuff. Would suggest trying dried shiitakes if you have them on hand.Boiling water + dried shrooms for 30 mins, strain shroom tea into container to use in rice, cut stems, slice, add with chicken. Love them so much.
>>20914005Are you fucking blind too?Also that's been sitting in the fridge like a week, it's delicious and fluffy when fresh out of the pot.
>>20914002That's CLEARLY very mushy and soggy. Look at how much mush rubs off on the side of the bowl.
>>20914015Nope, It's great, and this is a thread full of retards.There's condensation all over the bowl cause thats been in the fridge a week.
>>20913619>Are these worth it?100%>Can I just buy the big bag of rice at the store and put some in you should be washing it ~4 to 6 times before cooking (use very cold water)
>>20914019You are a ricelet.
>>20914025And you are a tard in a sea of tards on a cooking board where 95% don't cook
>>20914019Proper rice.Why are you calling everyone a retard after posting obviously terrible week old rice in an attempt to prove you made good rice? You can even tell that the rice is shit quality.
>>20913619can i use those cheap aroma ones to cook pasta? and do i have to baby it from boiling over? I want to just leave it and do other stuff
>>20914028You can't even cook rice properly. I'll start posting rice I cooked in a donabe if you say it, btw.
>>20914038Yes I can and your gadget is a waste of space
>>20914041You have proven the exact opposite. A poor recipe, and a disgusting bowl of rice.
>>20914046Do like two seconds of googling and you will find dozens of 2 : 1 ratio rice recommendations.
>>20914009The rice in your picture exploded, it doesn't have distinct grains, it's mush. Putting rice in the fridge doesn't make it explode, shit water ratios do though.You are a retarded tastelet.
>>209140462:1 is written on the fucking bag most of the time too, get the fuck out of here general chang
>>20914055>t. buys shit rice
>>20914054Confirming you are in fact blind. How is it exploded when there's a perfectly visible grain stuck to the side of the bowl.
>>20914058I don't live next to the rice paddy like you do.
>>20914060All the rice towards the bottom of the picture is exploded you disingenuous retard
>>20914068No it's not, you're literally blind.I'm going to keep buying the same rice, and making it the same way, and I hope you lose sleep over it.
>>20914008I was using the dried ones but I get really nice organic ones fresh where i am and i like them better so i use those now. The dried shrimp have a really strong flavor and ive been leaving them out as of late. Really comfy dish though. Thanks for sharing your recipe and tips anon.
>>20914065>you can only buy nice rice if you live next to where it's grownThis is high tier retardation.
Worth it for me. I just bought one.
>>20914070I won't lose sleep over your tastelessness
>>20914074Likewise! Do the fresh shiitakes have that similar chewy texture, or are they a little softer?>>20914068He is in denial. >>20914070Try using a 1.5:1 ratio for your shitty enriched rice. It may blow your mind.This is what correctly cooked and very high quality rice looks like. Compare it to yours lol. Used a .95:1 ratio for it.
>>20913903that is an american as fuck handDid you buy it on a trip to japan or something? or import it somehow
>>20914124Imported. You may want a voltage converter, but I've never used one and it just werks.
>>20914102You're seething over rice
>>20914139I think we are all laughing at you, actually.
>>20914105bro your poop looks weird
>>20913619Yeah it's really convenient. When I get home from the gym, I set it to cook, and by the time I've showered and dried off it's ready.
>>20914148>weGo back
>>20914135nice. maybe I will look for one at a hardoff
>>20914149Thank you. That's a piece of charcoal to purify the water. It makes the rice taste better if you don't already have great tasting water.
>>20914160Ohhhhhhhhhh you are seething, and over rice! How cute.
>>20914165lol the angle of it just reminds me of that pic of the cat pooping on some rice
>>20913619worth it only if you're cooking rice multiple times a week.
>GUYS I KNOW HOW TO COOK PERFECT RICE IN A POT. THIS IS WHAT GREAT RICE LOOKS LIKE.>>20914169Every single time I post that picture someone makes that same comment.
>>20914160>more than one person couldn't possibly be pointing out that I am in fact retarded
>>20914191It's okay, I understand it's hard for nips to see with squinty eyes.Get back to work in the paddy or you're going to run out of quality rice.
>>20914191Notice how she ignores the quality rice being posted. She knows she is wrong. Wouldn't be suprised if she was posting bait at this point.
>>20913619Yes it's worth it. When I was young and broke I bought a $20 rice maker and it was amazing. Now I have a $200 rice maker from Japan that sings songs (also worth it).
>>20914219>quality rice>>20914002Where is it hiding in this picture?
>>20914219The "quality rice" looks exactly the same
>>20914191Yep. 100% bait.
>>20914105Based looking rice
>>20913849Mmmm I don't think soIt's fine. Better to have rice that's just fine than be a consumer and buy a one function appliance
>>20913619Get the stainless steel one or enjoy your cancer.
Rice doesn't need to be (((cooked)))
>>20914650the heat of the the cooks the rice
>>20913770i've never been able to do it without fucking up the pan>skill issueyes, and the rice cooker saves all the pans that i'd ruin trying to rectify that
>>20913973Depends on the type of rice you're making anon.
>>209153502:1 is almost always too much water.
>>20913619Don't get a non stick one for obvious reason.Aroma makes a model with a stainless steel pot and steamer.Best $40-60 you'll ever spend.Can steam ~1.5lb vegetables while cooking ~270g dry weight of rice.
>>20916161>Don't get a non stick one for obvious reasonSchizo reasons?A rice cooker will never even come close to the temps required to make non-stick surfaces become toxic. The issues with non-stick is toxic off-gassing at higher temps, which is an impossibility in a properly functioning rice cooker.The non-stick coating is inert otherwise and if you did consume any, you'd just poop it out whole the same size it went in.Pretend all you want you're somehow smarter than everyone else I guess, but you look dumb to anyone that understands what's going on.
>>20916287>I'm rude for no reasonOkay anon.
>>20916310>can't handle even basic tier bantzWhy are you here?
>>20914105>This is what correctly cooked and very high quality rice looks likelike a grub or maggot?
>>20916344>t. 3 year old
>>20913619good for meal prep can make a weeks worth of rice with no hassle
This thread is why I eat potatoes
>>20916433Skill issue. Bet your potatoes come out soggy as well.
Get decent rice.Fill half a cup with rice, rinse and put into saucepan/pot that has a lid.Fill whole cup with water and pour into saucepan/pot.Boil, lower to simmer, put lid on.Cook until water is gone.Remove from heat, leave closed 10 minutes.Your rice is ready.
>>20916460>2:1 Straight into the trash it goes. Post some rice, big boy.
>>20916444no, they come out dry XD
I feel like a rice cooker isn't something a white man should get. I feel like it's an asian thing.I just boil water in a pot and use a strainer. I'm sure it doesn't taste as good as rice from an induction heating rice cooker but it's good enough.
>>20916484if you're white and you eat rice 3x+ per week, it's worth it.
>>20916484I'll keep my pressure ih rice cooker, enjoy your bad rice.
