Do these $500+ rice cookers really make a difference ?
>>22015475No. /Thread
>>22015475>>22015484they do make a difference, in that for a while, you'll be able to afford less rice
I can’t speak on $500 ones but i love my rice coooker. Set it and forget it, perfect everytime, burner isn’t taken up, I’ll always want one in my kitchen
>>22015499What kind do you have?
I really doubt there's much of a difference between a 50 dollar rice cooker and any more expensive one
>>22015484FpbpInb4>But what about the billions of chinks?????
>>22015492Touche>>22015518Pretty sure it's the Japs who uses these exclusively. China has gutter gas piped into every building. Japanese has pods with no room for a stove.

>>22015511I have an oyama, but i can’t find it online except amazon UK? Not sure what’s up with that
>>22015475probably, but i would expect diminishing returns and it's not really worth it unless you're wealthy or get it on a discount and eat a ton of rice>>22015484i can make rice just fine in a pot but it's still not quite as good as something dedicated entirely to cooking rice
>>22015475Yes, but only really for Japanese short grain rice. If you don't eat much of that it won't make much of a difference.>>22015484Post rice.
>>22015533Koreans have their own brand but they also use them extensively
>>22015568Who has pictures of just rice? Here's rendang over rice cooked in a pot.

I cook rice in a pot with a lid and it comes out perfectly every time. Yes I'm using a burner, yes I'm forced to watch it because if I don't pop the lid every so often it will boil over. No I don't care and no I'm not spending any amount of money on something so redundant as a rice cooker.
>>22015475an automatic vs freeballed does, the $500 vs $25 ones do not. The mechanics of a rice cooker work off boiling liquid water then shutting off when it runs dry, that's not expensive to do and the expensive machines are loaded with useless features
>>22015807>opens lidObjectively imperfect rice. Sad.
>>22015938well i don't have access to a stove, as i live in a basement, so i have a cheap rice cooker, i use it everyday. Soup, coffee, fry eggs, & rice too
>>22015484summerfags are out in full force already. you can't /thread your own reply, dumbass.
>>22015807if you use the same pot and burner each use even if fuck up the first few times you'll get it dialed in eventually
>>22015475Every time I cook jasmine rice with an insta-pot it's great. Mine has a stainless steel "pot" instead of a stainless one like from an old faber I had, or most rice cookers, so if you wait too long it turns into a gooey mess around the sides. That's the downside: just don't make too much to serve or store quickly. I'd buy a different pot liner but it wouldn't stack well, so it's the same size as a rice cooker in a cabinet at that point.Comparing that to what anyone in my family has cooked in a pot--they can't make sticky rice at all. It's dog food compared to what I can make steaming it. While I doubt $500 is worth it, the people telling you to use a pan are retarded. You don't use a skillet to boil lobster. Use shit that is designed for shit to make the shit that shit is designed to make (better, at least).Or be a hardass about it, I guess. I don't give a shit.
>>22015968Sorry, I meant "nonstick" with the old Faber pot.
those are specifically designed for japanese rice varieties and japanese cooking preferences. if all you want is consistent toothsome long grain long grain rice you can get that from a ricecooker that's 50$.
>>22015807>on something so redundant as a rice cooker.making high frequency tasks more convenient is not redundancy.
use this probably once or twice a week for the past few yearsI can dump rice/water in it at any time and have perfectly cooked rice for dinnerit cooks brown rice really consistently tooeasy to clean and after all this time still works/looks like newcould you just cook rice in a pot on the stove? sureyou could also do your laundry in the sink and make your next post on this godforsaken forum via carrier pidgeon
>>22015989>could you just cook rice in a pot on the stove? surethe question isn't is this better than a pot, it's is it better than one that's 25$.
Fuck's sake, the retards here. Cooking rice on the stovetop is easy, but that's really not what the rice cooker is for, and not why every Jap household has one. First, mama can set it the night before to have rice in the morning for the kids' bento. Next, people eat rice for multiple meals, so it's good to have a cooker with it already made. Finally, these expensive fucks can do all that flawlessly and keep the rice at an even temp for hours and hours, and let you how long it's been in there.

>>22015475I just use a small pot + my eyesI nail it every time
>>22015807>yes I'm forced to watch it because if I don't pop the lid every so often it will boil overEither wash your rice beforehand ORWhen it starts boiling, wait just a bit longer before you turn the heat down and cover it
>>22015807You make pot rice makers sound really stupid
>>22015512The difference between a $50 rice cooker and a $120 rice cooker is noticeable even to whiteoids who think rice is something you eat once or twice a month when getting takeoutThe difference between a $120 rice cooker and a $500 rice cooker is noticeable, especially with certain features almost no one will ever use, but for 99% of people even azns it's trivial. Most people will buy the $500 one just for flex, because fuck it why not, I'm using this thing every day might as well have something niceLike with most things, there's a diminishing returns past a certain point, but that point is higher than /ck/ wants to admit since this is the NEET board and everyone here unironically thinks asia is a fantasy place that only exists in anime
>>22015989Do these keep rice at a safe temp for a reasonable indefinite amount of time. I use the pot method but want to add one of these to the registry seems weird to have it on for like 6 hours or something? Could be ultra convenient though as long as I don't forget.
>>22015475A $50 rice cooker will do the job.>t. owns a $50 rice cooker
>rice in pot, 70-90g per person, dry weight>boiling water one inch over top of rice>salt>high heat until you see the start of bubbles>turn burner down to lowest heat>lid on>20 minutes>remove from burner>10 minutes>remove lidwallahIf you think a rice cooker saves space, that's just silly. It's a single use item that you wil always have in your kitchen taking up space rather than a multi use item that you already own so it's essentially zero extra space usage to make rice in the pot. If you're so incredibly space constrained that you don't even have a stove, you should get an induction hob and a pot. Takes up the same space, but can be used for more than just making rice, which you need since you don't have a stove.If you think a rice cooker is more traditionally Asian or authentic:1) who fucking cares?2) you think grandma chang cooked using one of those specialised rice cookers?
My gf bought one for 150 and took it with her when she left. I'm honestly not eating enough rice to miss it. Stove method is fine for once a week
>>22016619Wrong flavor of slant-eye but yes my grandmother (pbuh) did, in fact, use a rice cooker. A tiger, in fact. Apparently the preference did not trickle down because I grew up with, and continue to prefer, zojirushiI don't know why white people insist on larping as orientals on the internet, most of us don't want any part in your racial caste system
>>22016775>I don't know why white people insist on larping as orientals on the internet, most of us don't want any part in your racial caste systemWhat are you rambling on about?
>>22016775>most of us don't want any part in your racial caste systemyou have never been outside
I've heard of families who just constantly have warm rice on hand which is a nice idea. If I could get one without Teflon I'd consider it.
>>22015659you can just TELL that rice is nasty and isnt stickyjeetcore
>>22015807>not spending moneymy rice cooker was 20 dollars and mogs your shitty pot riceyou do have 20 dollars right little cuckie?
>>22016543the manual claims 24h safe on extended mode with a reheat cycle, or 12h regularI've never left it for more than maybe 7-8hrs but it does keep it pretty much perfect
No, they make rice
