>>22184844The heat of the rice cooks the chicken
>>22184845The heat of the rice cooker does. You can't put raw chicken in a bowl of hot rice that's no longer being heated and expect cooking to happen.
>>22184844They are called Asian women now. Do better anon.
>>22184844A dedicated rice cooker is doing me more good than a weird combination one with a steaming tray.
>>22184847but anon rice is the most effective cooking medium we have
>>22184851Why doesn't Gordon Ramsay simply cook a grilled cheese sandwich in rice
>>22184844Told ya
>>22184867You can't grill a cheese over rice, idiot
>>22184867because that would have heated the sandwich through which clearly wasn't his intention. also he's still angry about Hong Kong
>>22184850steaming tray is handy though, you can steam vegetables while your rice cooks or cook dumplings and stuff. and it doesn't need to be a "weird combination" to use a steamer attachment, regular rice cookers steam too. it's literally just an attachment, not some alternate function for most rice cookers.
>>22184872you can't grill a cheese over rice but you can rice a cheese over a grill. ever think of that, tough guy?
>>22184876It was designed to have more room for steaming and since I got a dedicated rice cooker and dedicated steamer I realized that both functions suffered for trying to be together in one machine.
>>22184876This steam some dumplings or veg
>>22184844Instant pot is better for everything.
>>22184876>>22184886I find with my rice cooker the starchy ricewater boils all the way up to the lid so when I use the steamer tray all the food in it get covered in gloppy webs of rice starch, it's not a good thing
>>22184888What is that? I have a stove top pressure cooker. Is it the same thing, only electric?
>>22184888Instant pot SUCKS for rice. Pot on stove absolutely btfos insta pot for rice.
I bought that expensive Neuro Fuzzy one for $271. That thing is based.
>>22184917$500 in Cunstralia. You must be a stage 4 terminal weeb to even consider spending so much money on something that cooks grist
>>22184844weena doggu
>>22184844x to doubt.
>>22184844Could use some veg or seasoning probably
Instantpot is better for rice.
>>22184956It absolutely is not. It's fine enough for rice but an actual rice cooker is better and faster, Instantpot shill.
how much will I have to pay for a quality one?
>>22184956See>>22184910
>>22184872the heat of the rice cooks the cheese
>>22184978OP here.i bought mine for 35 dollars. it's great
>>22184923Perfect rice every time!
>>22184879upvoted. have some epic bacon sir.
>>22184872Japanese people always act autistic about food stuff
>>22185143no offense anon but basmati rice comes out perfectly fluffy and evenly cooked even in the microwave. try something challenging like starchy short grainalso I use a cheep microwave rice cooker and it makes rice fucking perfectly
>>22185155I'm glad you like your method of rice preparation. I like mine too.
>>22185156verily
>>22184896Do you rinse your rice?
>>22185191I draw the line at rinsing rice. I know I should, but fuck it annoys me
>>22185210>Rinse until water runs clearIt fucking never runs clear!
>>22185143so whats the difference between this and a 20$ one?
>>22185329The 500 dollar one singles a childrens song when it's done cooking.
>>22184896Why doesn’t that lid have a steam hole? Way more likely to boil over without one
>>22185329The zoji are super good and better than the cheapo cookers, BUT the difference in quality is only substantially better for short grain rice. Maybe 50% better than cheapo. Long grain rice is probably only 10-15%. If you only eat long grain rice it may not be worth it. The other features are nice tho. The keep warm feature will keep rice hot and fresh for 24-36 hours. It holds above pasteurization temps so its totally safe.
>>22184923You should lynch all of your government officials, especially the tax collectors.I used to work for an Asian tech manufacturing company that made high end gadgets. Our Australian distributors had us jumping through hoops that were straight up insane, all because of your cunt's tariff policies. Special sales, rebates, discounts, all as forms of tariff dodges, because somehow selling at a price that was lower than "official normal" meant that their tariff rates got changed. But the worst of it was that they insisted we jack up shipping charges from our tiny little corner of hell to Australia, because individual buyers could buy off our website and get things shipped into Australia (at full retail from us, and full international shipping costs for individual parcels) for far less than they could sell items for at retail after dealing with import tariffs and VAT and all the other bullshit.On the one hand, we had to have actual on-the-ground distributors selling products in stores, because most of you cunts weren't buying off the web. On the other hand, that meant you people got fucked running no matter which way you turned.Prison Island doesn't even begin to describe it.
>>22185405>Asianstopped reading right there
>>22185405That's an astounding lack of awareness even for a burgertard. Well done you.
>>22184844same
Anyone know of a rice cooker that stirs?Best I can think of is the recalled electric pot that we just got or a thermomix.
>>22185452I think you might need to just purchase a Vietnamese child anon
>>22185210>>22185327Let it sit a bit between rinses.
>>22185479
how long does it take for rice to be cooked properly?
>>22185493from cold, bring to boil, reduce heat cover and simmer so low that you don't have to worry about it boiling over (sometimes you have to stir but experts can do this with scuffed steel and still not have to stir for some reason) it's like 20mins from cold to rice. You do need to uncover, fluff, and them steam off a bit before you dive in. It's like 20mins. A rice cooker might to it slightly faster but even my microwave dealie takes 17mins in the 'wave, 5mins to settle and then a fluff and steam-off period which is like 25mins all up
>>22185327This. One time I wanted to really give it a go, soaked and rinsed it thoroughly three times, there was still starch, rice cooker still foamed over. Fuck that, I'm back to using a lidded sauce pot, never foams, always works perfectly.
My wife loves the rice cooker I got her. It makes veey good rice and has allowed her to explore other rice dishes bc it make sticky rice very well
>>22184844The heat of the rice cooks the cock
>>22185327Just put it in a colander and run the water over it for 5 minutes
>>22185619In other words, rinse it to the insufferable degree
>>22184844Whose penis is that?
>>22185651The answer is always ya mum. You know that anon.
>>22185327>>22185507This isn't a rice cooker issue, I have the same problem with a pot if I don't rinse off most of the loose starch granules. It's just easier to manage because you can just turn the heat down and lift up the lid. I agitate the rice with my hand when it's underwater and let the rice settle before pouring it out. Takes ~5 rinses for the water to be mostly clear and starchy foam problems to be solved.
>>22184844Just use a pot
>>22185744I'm not a stoner
>>22185744Depends on how often you make rice. Asians all have rice cookers for a reason: when you make rice every day, it's nice having a tiny machine that does it for you and doesn't take up a burner.
>>22185744I know how to cook rice on the stove, but I live in a dorm and I eat rice everyday at least once. It's much more convenient and tasty to make it in a rice cooker. Plus, I also cook pasta in it. I learned how to cook short pasta by adding just enough water so it doesn't need to be drained, which is perfect for me. Something else I do in mine is "grill" hot dogs.
why does my rice sometimes absorb all the water really quickly but come out kinda dry? just used 1.5 cups calrose rice and 2 cups water, let the rice soak for 20 minutes, then started cooking and after only 13 minutes all the water was gone but the rice was not fully cooked.also sometimes this jasmine rice i bought crackles in the water like its bursting out of its shell.WHAT GIVES??
>>22185809Shitty old rice.
>>22185327I always used this method, and it works, literally the first result yt gives youhttps://youtu.be/3k9ItS0QVTc
Oops I did It again
>>22186237I think I've seen this episode before.
>>22185809Rice is an extremely neurotic food, so every bag that you buy is a little bit different from the older one. Also, there is no reason to let the rice soak.
>>22184844Hehe it looks like a peener
>>22185809the humidity
>>22184844Why's there a dick in your rice?
>>22186501>Rice is an extremely neurotic fooddoes that explain asian autism? a survival adaptation
If rice cookers are so great, how come they're not popular in the ricer cultures south Asia, whose cuisines are objectively superior?
>>22186976There's a theory where cultures reliant on rice cultivation developed a more collectivised bug-like culture compared to those reliant on wheat cultivation, which explains why norfern chinamen tend to be more rowdy and fiery of spirit compared to their southern countrymen.
>>22184844I've been slicing up bell peppers and mushrooms, then right into my Zojirushi over rice. A little vinegar and tinned fish once it's ready, and the whole meal is done. Life's never been easier.
I bought one of those fancy weeb rice cookers. Barely use it. Turns out it's still kind of a chore to use. Rinsing the rice takes forever, and you have to make a bunch of batches before you figure the exact ratios, then repeat for different kinds of rice. Sucks ass.
>>22187217That's your theory and southern Chinese are far more violent than the northern ones. In fact to this day the han view people from south China as pirates because that's where most of Chinese pirates historically are from.
>>22187273I just fill my rice cooker up to the water line and press start, works literally every time.Imagine being so retarded that you get outplayed by a rice cooker.
>>22184845Cooking Rice Using the Heat from Chicken
>>22187216>how come they're not popular in the ricer cultures south Asia, whose cuisines are objectively superior?
>>22184844can i steam a good rice on my steamer?
>>22187450As long as the steamer has a heat control program for cooking rice, there's no problem.
>>22187273if you're making long grain rice, you need to put 1.25 "cups" of water in per "cup" of rice and use the MIXED setting.
>>22187461Why not just say Japanese cups are 3/4 american cups.
>>22187906By putting "cups" in quotes, it may be more clear that I'm referring to the utensil that comes with the rice cooker. I suppose that since it's just ratios, it doesn't matter.
>>22185210I like it there is something about running my hands through cold still water rubbing the little grains
>>22184844Ahahaha I regularly use 4chan but rarely visit /ck/, I first saw this on twitter lol
>>22187908or just say that
>>22188171what would you consider to be your home board anon?
>>22188174The Quests board, I fucking adore so much
>>22188176adore it*
>>22188176I didn't even know about that board but I love story telling and folklore and such maybe I should lurk awhile. I'm not super big on adventure fiction or games but it is the best way to get people to interact with your writing
>>22188187Definitely check it out, there are some real fun quests there, being a QM is mind torture sometimes, but so fun.
>>22184847Lurk more nu fag
>>22185327Rice only foams for me if I cook it at a really high temp, just cook it at a lower one.
>>22184844Rice is for the third world real HUMANS eat bread.
>>22184844I got a new one a few days ago and am currently cooking some rice in it for the first time, I even washed the rice which I normally don't bother to do for the inaugural cook.It's much fancier than my old one, it even has separate options for just white rice alone for if you want it sticky, soft or savory (whatever that's meant to mean), setting it to white was simple enough but it took me a bit of random button pressing to change it from sticky to softRead her mangahttps://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100306
>>22188394Notably though my new one>>22184850didn't come with a steaming tray nor seemingly any steaming option, I never used the option anyway but it struck me as a bit odd given it's otherwise much fancier than my old one that did have a steaming tray
>>22188394I just heard it beep so I thought oh it's ready, but it was actually beeping to tell me it was 10 minutes until it was ready so you could prepare for having rice, pretty neat feature, the timer didn't appear until it had 10 minutes to go, I guess it uses that detection stuff to know when it's ready rather than a timer but can detect when there's 10 minutes left
>>22188401Damn that's some good rice, getting my first rice cooker was already a big step above the stove and this is a big step above that, although my old one was maybe starting to go a little which might make this better in comparison
>>22186284The heat of the rice cooks the mother
>>22188446Hey what if I put some apple cider vinegar with the mother in with my rice in the cooker, I don't really have much experience with vinegar but I went a bit crazy and brought half a dozen sorts a few days ago
>>22187264That sounds great don’t expect me to suck your dick for it or anything…
>>22189795Why not suck it?
>>22184844Don't you have to fry the meat first for it to have some actual taste?
>>22189880Usually, yes, the sausages already come pretty flavorsome. Obviously would be better to fry it before and you can do that in a rice cooker, but I was lazy.
>>22184844 Rice is bland and pointlessWhat the fuck are you eating it for. You poor?
>>221853272-3 minutes of rinsing is enough, that's what I do
>>22191564soaks up the sauce of the stir fry, little cooklette
>>22184844>garloid steamed in ricethems good eatin
I'd only get a rice cooker if I was cooking for a family and not just cooking for myself
only rice cooklets use a rice cooker
>>22191967Ugh.I can cook rice like you wouldn't believe. I can probably cook rice better than anybody in the world.
>>22191991We can go grain to grain on rice cooking and will ERICE you!
>defiling your rice cooker w\ meatsRice cooker is essential... love it. Use it all the time. Would never put other shit in the rice... it's a rice cooker, not a crock pot.
>>22192150people are making banana bread in it now
>>22192150I cook pasta, polenta, I've even made dirty rice right on that bitch. You're just wasting its potential.
why the fuck have they not developed a a rice cooker that is plumbed into the wall with a weight scaleso i can >chuck in as much rice as i want>it weighs the rice>washes the rice>cooks the rice in the perfect amount of water>fluffs it up >lets me know when done with a cute jingle >keeps it warm until i am ready
>>22192162
>>22184844One more appliance taking up my limited counter space, when I could just use the stove and a pot. Also I can just throw the pot in the dishwasher after.
>>22193044>>22192167I spoke too soon. I'm ordering this immediately.
i know everyone loves the zojis but is there any love for the tiger?its still weeb just a little bit cheaper and simplerthinking of buying one soon
>>22193258I don't have this exact brand, but my rice cooker looks like a knockoff version of this. I love it.
>>22184844is this picture supposed to be funny? because I laughed
You only need one if you're making rice more than once a week. Otherwise making it on the stove is fine.
I've got an Aroma but it runs a tad too hot.
LIDL is selling a small rice cooker this week (I don't need a bigger) should I get one? Anyone own one of these?
>>22191967Rice cookers are exclusively a first world thing and something non-negotiable it seems.t. Third worlder who has never seen a rice cooker irl.
>>22184844I finally found some proper short grain rice (not that Nishiki/Kokuho Rose medium grain bullshit) and started making salmon and chicken onigiris for lunch.I like it with the full nori wrap like picrel, since the rice itself is pretty sticky.
>>22194357It takes too much space and has only one function, I guess If I ate rice every day maybe I'd think about buying one but making rice in a pot with a lid is extremely easy. Also I like to saute some onions and garlic and toast my rice a bit before putting the water or stock which I'm not sure you can do in a rice cooker.
>>22194357it's ubiquitous in asian countries (India is not Asia)
>>22194522>too much spaceSo this is the power of renting
>>22187282You overestimate the average poster here, using a rice cooker is advanced arcane knowledge>>22188176>been on this shithole for 15 years>never once visited questsI'm actually intrigued now
>>22191967literally all of Asia uses rice cookers, and I think they know a thing or two about eating rice, it's some weird western thing to do it in a pot.
>>22194559I'm not renting but I already have too many appliances that I don't use and take space - mostly gifts like a big juicer that I never use and I got gifted a an air fryer recently that I also don't use. >>22194581yeah because they eat rice every day, also I learned to make rice in a pot from a Japanese guy on youtube, plus I like it with sauteed onions and the whole thing as I explained
>>22194018I make rice everyday
>>22195040>makeESL?
>>22195070This is a common way for english-speakers to convey that they are cooking a dish of food. You exposed yourself, ESL.
>>22195073So is misuse of a hyphen…..
>>22191820Ok thanks, I'll make note and let everyone know.
>>22195073>a dish of foodKek.
>>22195087Yes and fucking up an ellipses too. But both are fine in casual conversation.
>>22195091>a meal of dinner
>>22192167>only $25.000, minimum amount of rice that can be made is 25lbs
>>22195134>25lbsThat's a rather small amount of food for the average person.
>>22194581>it's some weird western thing to do it in a pot>cooking things in a basic pot is weird compared to cluttering up my kitchen with yet another single use appliancesure thing wang chang
>>22195140To be fair if that "single use appliance" is used 2-3 times a day every day then yeah, it does make sense to pick one up. Asians probably use their rice cookers more than you use that one pot on a daily basis. If you don't eat rice as much as asians then obviously your priorities will be different.
i got a dumb question to ask, especially if you're a flavor of asian.what difference does it make taste/texture wise if you use just a little water to boil rice? i think i saw the knuckle method mentioned once or twicein my house we've been boiling rice like it's water since forever. should i do it the other way?
>>22195157Indians and Arabs boil their rice like pasta and then drain it, but I think they only use basmati.
why do they call it "steamed" rice when it's boiled
>>22195134It's convenient, you'll have rice for the whole week
>>22195205boiling produces steam
Is there rice cookers that doesn't use the weird teflon coated inner pot?
>>22195157I'm White and used to use Ramsay's method on the stove. It came out okay, but sometimes I wouldn't put enough water in and the whole thing would need to be put into the trash. Yes, I weighed the water and rice. Since getting the meme Neuro Fuzzy rice cooker, which is on sale right now on Scamazon dot com, I've never made better rice, and it uses less water, but takes much longer to cook.
>>22192162Do you need a robot to wipe your ass for you too, you fat lazy piece of shit?
>>22188298>just go ahead and lower the temperature of your rice cooker
>>22197179>tips touchinggay
>>22195945yes, there's stainless steel ones
>>22197179couldve given them a sear, they look like newborn cats
Made this for myself, might share it as well.>RISO = rice>ACQUA = water
>>22185329My parents' Zoji is from like 2001 and is still going. Admittedly we're white so we only use it a couple of times a week instead of everyday like actual Asians would, which has probably stretched its lifespan some. I bought a cheap one when I moved out with my ex and that shit died in like a year. Things have reversed so my parents are now elderly and living with me so I have that same old Zoji back but if it ever dies I'm tempted to buy the $90 made in Japan Tiger one that Costco sells.
>>22184844All these guys wanting to know why rice is finicky, and discussing rinsing vs not rinsing, yet not I don't see a single post mentioning toasting the rice first. The water ratio changes if you do (need more water), and it makes for the least sticky rice I've seen, plus it just tastes better. One more thing for stovetop guys to brag about, really.
>>22197408Yes, toasting (or pearling) the rice in a little oil, as you would risotto rice, makes regular long grain rice fluffier. You can do that in the rice cooker, tho. Personally, I don't like fluffy rice. I prefer moist rice and sticky rice, but that's just me.
>>22197391Zojirushi is a high quality brand, so whether or not you have an advanced one or a simple push button cooker like the one your parents have is irrelevant. A $90 Tiger is a good choice too.
