a rice cooker

>>8623829
I've had trouble deciding if I really want one tb.h
I get the same result from stove-top, at the expense of exerting a tiny bit more effort.
I don't mean to sound like alton brown or anything, but I don't like having big things taking up space that only serve one purpose.

>he thinks he gets rice cooker quality rice on his stove top

>>8623856
Maybe Black & Decker $30 rice cooker quality

>>8623862

Those are for people living in dorms who don't have stoves.

Otherwise rice cookers=neuro logic.

>>8623868

*fuzzy logic

>>8623856
I'm pretty confident I can, anon

>>8623823
That's not safe at all.

>>8623942
What did he mean by this?

>>8623844
Alton Brown himself approves of the rice cooker.

>>8623823
>warm water
Don't cook with warm tap water

I've got a rice cooker and it works just dandy for me since I eat like 4000calories of rice a day. I make rice on the stove when i'm making something other than just plain white rice, like if i'm making sushi rice or something. The temperature control is key, and I have a proper pressure cooker for that too.

Not eating ching chong chink pooh in the loo muck.

I use the absorption method in a pot on the gas stove because I'm not a pleb who needs an electric rice cooker

Btw do American rice cookers take twice as long as the rest of the world like electric kettles because of muh 110v?

Koshihikari rice, washed 10 times, sit in a sieve 30 minutes, soak in water 1 hr, then rice cooker.

>>8624735
Weeb detected

>>8624757
Rice grains folded 1000 times.

I really love basmati too but it doesn't come out well in my rice cooker

I saw on cooking w/kurma once to saute the rice in clarified butter after washing and drying, cook until translucent then add hot water or broth so it doesn't stop cooking and finish with lid on like normal. That's my fancy way. Rice cooker with water and turn it on, fluff 5 minutes after finished is go to.

>heat a tbsp of oil in a pot
>heat two cups of water on an electric kettle
>drop a cup of rice (no wash) on hot oil and lightly saute while water boils
>add a teaspoon of salt
>pour boiling water on rice
>set to lowest heat and cover
>turn heat off when there's no more visible water and there are "holes" in the rice

That's about it. Sometimes I'll add a teaspoon of curry powder, or saute a garlic clove together with the raw rice, or add some pimento slices

>3 or 4 cups of rice
Isn't that enough for two days? Unless all you're eating is rice and nothing else.

>rice cooker
>quality rice

lol no, i can go order rice cooker cooked rice anywhere near me and it tastes like shit compared to the rice i can make on my stove top

>>8624864
Me and 1 other person eat rice for two meals each day.
If it's just me, I'll only make like 1.5-2 cups

>>8623823
>What's your ritual for perfect rice?


> go to Chinese restaurant
> get General Tso's
> it comes with rice

we all yellow slant-eyed masterrace now yayayay

>>8624718
>pooh in the loo
That's India, you tard. Rice is Chinese.

>>8625235
>Rice is Chinese

Rice has been cultivated outside of China before there was a China, dimwit.

To answer OPs question, my ritual is:
Wash 3 times in the morning.
Add to Zojirushi with water.
Turn on the timer.
Have it ready for dinner.

>>8625235


What's the difference?

Sub human targets soon to be subjugated or exterminated by the WASP master race. If you want to eat rice, you can have it in a work camp.

>>8623829
if you're serious about cooking you shouldn't own a rice cooker

>>8623823
what do you season your rice with?

salt and pepper is a must, I've been doing it Ramsay style with star anise and cardamom, but I'm looking to explore more possibilities

use this because not poorfag and i don't have time to waste cooking rice in a pan like some third worlder.

>>8623862
>>8623868
you don't get the same pressure just in a regular stovetop pot
you need a heavy iron or stone pot to keep the pressure inside

>>8625675
OP here
I don't usually season my rice
I usually eat it donburi style with a boat load shit on top so seasoning isn't really necessary
When I eat plain rice, I usually go with soy sauce or furikake. when I eat tamago kake gohan I usually just do egg salt and msg

>people hating on rice cookers
Literally kill yourselves. Using a rice cooker is convenient as fuck since you can make rice with 0 effort while using the stove for the other components of your meal. Also used it for those huge fluffy pancakes once and it was great.

>>8625939
Cheap ones are shit.
Zojirushi aren't worth the price.
A bad deal either way.

>>8623844
This desu, the extra effort is minimal and it's not worth the space and the time and money

>>8625681
That rice looks horrifying. Are you trying to make congee or something?

>>8625942
Good thing I didn't buy either one of those

>>8624262
Why?

>>8624718
Adults are talking. Go to your room.

>>8626013
He thinks everybody lives in a third world shit hole
Literally nothing wrong with the tap water where I am.
>>8625681
This is what rice cooker fags believe is good rice
hahaha

>>8623823
Wait, do you seriously eat three or four cups of rice?

All my almonds have been activated and are now missing

>>8626070
Not alone
Usually feeds me and 1 or 2 others for dinner and lunch
left overs get saved and turned into porridge, fried rice, or get fed to the dog

>>8625688
Imagine having this bad of a superiority complex.

>>8623844
you can make soups, beans, and other grains easily, it's not just for rice

T. JEALOUS.

My rice is delicious :)

>>8623823
>Saucepan on kitchen scale
>Rice in
>Cold water in = rice weight x1.5
>Low heat, cooking time by instinct, low heat makes it almost foolproof and stressless anyway

Hey what's the deal with basmati rice ? I've tried different brands but it always tastes like dust. I always use Thai rice.

I love my rice cooker so much. Worth every penny.

>>8626610
Ya know what sucks ass about living where i do in the south.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!

>>8623844
I like mine because I can set it to cook the rice as I get home from work

>>8623823
Two cold water washes of jasmine rice, 18 minutes in covered simmering water with butter, garlic, pepper, red pepper, oregano
Served with any meat in the world! It's the best rice.

>I'm going to be insulting on the internet instead of answering the question

My tap water is fine too. I simply asked why one mustn't use it warm. Was it a difficult question?
