Am I a degenerate to using this instead of boiling rice? It

I mean whatever you put in your body is up to you, but there are many different kinds of rice in the world you cook for different reasons and dishes. I mean this is quick and dirty long grain, plain and simple.

I'm going to just be throwing a tiny bit of butter and fond left over from cooking steaks. I know it's not restaurant quality obviously, but shouldn't be too bad to serve to friends should it?

i have anti-microwave autism and refuse to use them, so i would be upset if you served that to me, but it's up to you

>tastes 95% as good

>>8599092
It's fucking terrible and you should feel bad about yourself for eating it, you little bitch.

>>8599092
I don't feel the quality is any worse but desu you're paying like 5x as much for the convenience.

>>8599092
I think it's fine if you're only making it for yourself, since when cooking for one, you don't need to make a huge batch of rice. However, if you're cooking for two or more, you should make better rice.

OP here, normally I wouldn't do it, but I've had 2 of my 4 burners go out and won't be fixed for 2 weeks and can get by cooking with 2 burners easily if I can just make the rice okayish at best

>spending $1.50 for 20 cents worth of rice

>>8599278
>not that anon but
in that case it's fine. we all have times when we gotta make the best of what we have.

>>8599092
Boiling rice is just about the easiest cooking related thing you can do and rice is cheap.

>>8599322
I'm not a poorfag or shitskin so that means I eat rice about once a month at home....so we are talking about 500 bucks worth of rice over my entire lifetime compared to 300 bucks....both of which are negligible

>gets defensive and racist when we apply economics
And yet you're thin skinned but asking for what we think about your eating habits.

>>8599339
why eat rice at all then

Why do you need anybody else's opinions if you already have it all figured out?...

>>8599092
I didn't even know this existed. You learn something new every day I guess

i don't think i'd ever buy it though, it's expensive and not as good as normal rice and i generally don't eat corporate food but my uncle works at the factory and gives me cases for free

>>8599328

>>8599278

>no muss no fuss
>rice
This has to be a bait thread.
Then again, I used to think making rice was a pain in the ass but that's because I was doing it wrong. A handful of trial and errors and I'm a fucking master. I was dreaming of buying a rice cooker but now I don't fucking need it, the pot is my friend.

Two cups of water for every cup of rice (time is immensely shortened if the water is already piping hot). Bring to a violent boil on high, turn down to the lowest of low and cover.
Best way I can describe it's done is when it doesn't look watery anymore. No idea how much salt you should add, I eyeball it before adding the rice and water. Tablespoon of butter for each cup of rice if you're a fatty.
