I always cook my rice in a Pyrex pot like pic, but no matter how low I set the heat, some always burns onto the bottom. What's a better rice cooking vessel? I won't use a dedicated rice cooker because those don't work.

We deserve better bait

No you don't, and they don't. They last time I had one it spit sticky rice water all over my countertop and made a huge mess. I gave it away because it was obviously worse than just using the pot.

>>21106636
Eat potatoes, not rice.
>>
>>21106636
The glass pot thing never caught on
I do recall 1 episode of the Great Chefs of Europe where they used them, but that's all I've ever seen of them other than one my mom had years ago
Also, use real cooking pots you faggots

I have a rice cooker, it works great.
>>21106656
That sounds like you have a skill issue for both stovetop rice and rice cooker rice, no one can help you.
>>
>>21106636
I make a shitload of rice at one time in my enameled cast iron dutch oven. It never burns.

i've never used these glass pots/pans to cook, but it makes for really good re-heating of food

Simply move the pot so that less flame is hitting the bottom.
>>
>>21106656
Did you overfill it? Saying rice cookers don't work because of that is like saying pots don't work. Maybe you need to just get a better one.

But to answer your question, you probably just want a pot with a thicker bottom. Less hot spots that way and the heat is more even. Can be any material but obviously a nonstick pot will have less sticking.

It's kind of weird it'd be burning in glass which isn't a great conductor of heat. Some people have stoves that simply don't go low enough for things like this. In which case you might need to figure something else out. Like a heat distributor plate that goes on the burner or buying a separate electric burner with more precise temperature control.

Or maybe you're just not adding enough water.

Or the atmospheric conditions are so extreme just in your kitchen it's making that happen.

Two options OP if you refuse to live in the 20th Century of Fuzzy Logic Rice Cookers let alone the 21st:
1. Cook rice using the pasta method of an obscene amount of boiling water for the prescribed time then drain (bonus benefit it reduces arsenic levels by 50%):

2. Steam it like demonstrated here (time @ 2:35):

>>21106636
It's interesting that you mention that. I have just started exploring the possibility of cooking rice (and other things as well) in a jar.
Two hours in a 130 Celsius oven seems to do the trick for a full pilaf (rice+meat+vegies); possibly 40 minutes at 180 deg. If you just boil it (100 deg) it may take up to 4 hours but I am just starting the experiments.
>>
>>21106636
Reduce cooking time then let the heat and steam in the pot finish the cooking. Much like resting meat.
>>
>>21106896
Another interesting option is steaming. If you could just steam a pilaf on a plate it would be fantastic. (Although with jars you can make many of them at once as they should be well preserved this way; only to be quickly reheated later on)

Exactly how incompetent are you?

I won't tell you why or how too fix it.

Add more water than the recipe calls for then drain it when it's done. Like you do with every other dry carb.
>nooo I have to use exact proportions and wait until it all boils off but before it burns
They have played you for absolute fools.

visions weren't pyrex, op.

best bait this board

that's not pyrex, it's vision and it's shit for making rice in. it boils things real well but holds too much heat and is hard to control. I know I had a full set of that stuff back in the early 90's.
>>
>>21106636
What are your water to rice ratios?
>>
>>21106995
This.
>but it will get soggy
It won't if you don't cook it too long.

Well Asians say otherwise.

Asian ones work better than cheap American ones imported from Ch*na.

Imagine not having an Instant Pot in 2025, it has a rice cooking option, a bean cooking option, stew and soup options, everything.
>>
>>21111026
Why would you get that when you can just get a normal pot and cook everything in it?
>>
>>21106636
If you have an insta pot or other electric pressure cooker, use that. It's brainless.

2 to 1 liquid to rice, 3 minutes, natural release
