/Rice General Thread/

Hey guys. Relatively new cook here. I've only been 'really' cooking the last year or so, and was looking for some advice when it comes to rice. Recently I started meal prep, and rice is the core to a lot of my meals right now, and I'm looking for ways to make it more interesting. So I guess I'll just ask upfront:

1.) Best type of rice? Healthiest? Minute vs. Bagged?

2.) Is cooking stovetop as effective of a way as a rice cooker? If I want it to be looser or stickier, what tips do you have?

3.) Interesting ways to season it, or good protein pairings? I've always kept it plain or used a very basic seasoning, and never tried any sort of sauces or anything to go with it.


Like I said, sorry for the pleb level questions, but just looking to improve.

Best obviously depends on how you're using it.
Healthiest, as in, most healthful, is parboiled white rice. The parboiling and cooling converts the starch to resistant starch, reducing insulin spiking, and this process also increases bioavailability of other nutrients above and beyond brown rice.

I usually keep it plain, but will occasionally cook with bouillon. A bay leaf makes for nice fragrance. A little lemon zest can work too.

1. Preference, as far as best goes, obviously. Healthiest would probably be a wild rice. The reality is, brown vs white comes down to literally less than 1% nutritional difference per 100 grams. Wild rices are more significant in this regard.

Minute vs bagged isn't even a discussion. Minute will almost always be mushy porridgey shit, bagged takes 20 minutes and you can do more with it, for a better result in the end (and cheaper than minute rice buying from the right places).

2. There's a lot of different opinions on stove vs rice cooker, and you'll find most people here tend to prefer the stove.

The stove is very easy to not fuck up, regardless of how much people (and you) will fuck it up. The way I see it, is that unless you're getting a REAL FUCKING GOOD rice cooker ($500+ at least) the stove will be better. There's a lot of science and reason behind rice cookers, but the jist of it is that it's believed the hotter rice is cooked without being burned, the better it tastes. And you have to shell out a pretty penny for rice cookers that can go into the hundreds of degrees without burning the rice (note: I don't know exactly how this works by far)

3. A big thing I do to season rice/sauces/etc in an 'interesting' method would be to put seeds/spices you don't actually want to get INTO the rice (like caraway seeds or celery seeds) but you want the flavour of. Toss the tea bag in the pot and wait.

Protein pairings depend on how the protein is prepared, but that being said, plain rice goes with just about fucking anything in the protein department.

If you're using, cheap rice from, say, walmart, (i.e. generic "long grain" rice), don't rinse it, put 1:2 rice:water, toss slightly above medium heat on the stove, once it boils, cover for 20 minutes (if you're doing a massive amount consider the oven, it can be done in a large pot on the stove but I've seen many people without experience making rice fuck up pots this way. More an annoyance than anything)

I think it is one of the top 5 pizza chains in the world.

It can't be that bad.
>>
>>8779000
the promotional still looks like a decent pizza, even given that what they sell won't look as good, you can't really go wrong with a thin crust pizza with a nice char and not too much sauce
>>
>>8779000
It's just cheese, oil, and tomatoes. With the occasional meat topping. It's pretty standard like most other macro pizza chains.

I bought the higher end capresso model a couple months back. Its cheaper than the encore, and also grinds at a slower rpm and its quieter.

I did quite a bit of research at the time, and this seemed like the best option.

I mostly used it for drip, and cold brew, so unfortunately I can't make any claims about my personal experience with ultra fine espresso grinds.

>it's bottled tap water from whatever the local area is, reverse osmosised and filtered and so on, and then minerals added.

yet they somehow manage to fuck that up and make it taste like shit. how is this possible?

My old lady has a birthday on Sunday and I want to make her a 'monster shake.' She likes chocolate and caramel, but I am considering coffee and peanut butter too, maybe even a little Baileys.

What desserts will make this really over the top, huge, and delicious? I will be serving it in a mason jar with a plate. Tips on ice cream for the milkshake proper would be welcome.

Why not just replicate the one in your pic?
These always look good but must be a chore to eat, why not just make her an old fashioned banana split and then you can fuck her asshole with the banana stuffed in a condor afterwards.

/ck/, I know nothing about Pinto beans. But I saw some at the grocery store the other day, and it seems like a good deal.
I am addicted to chilli, so I usually spend a fair amount on cans of kidney beans. But pinto. These giant bags are cheap as shit. And easier to carry than cans. (I am a lowly poorfag pedestrian)
I have some questions about them:

>How similar are they in texture and taste to Kidney Beans when cooked?
Said something about soaking them overnight...
>Can you soak them in tomato juice/sauce and have them absorb a tomato flavour?
>Will the sauce you soak them in become starchy and gross/unusable in later chilli cooking?

They are similar to kidney beans.

Soak them in water, discard the water.

Add an egg yolk to that and serve it warm and you basically have STMJ (susu telor madu jahe, literally 'milk, egg, honey and ginger'), a popular drink from Surabaya. It's kinda like Indonesian egg nog, now that I think of it.
