I bought a rice cooker

well I broke down and bought a rice cooker. Minute rice is a real waste of space, cooking rice on the stove never turned out for me so I am going to try this.

 

Is it one of those funky induction heaters?

.

 

Hmm dunno, its round, has a digital panel and is all automated.

 

hahaha you cant cook rice? wow. minute rice sucks. My favorite is saffron rice.

 

Good luck with the new rice cooker!

 

I really want to buy one so that I could cook stickey rice and make sushi.

I might just go to Goodwill to try my luck soon.

 

I should invest in one of those because I suck at making any sort of rice except minute rice and everyone knows minute rice has like zero nutritional value.

 

supposedly you can cook a whole lot more in those things than just rice....

however, i don't have any more room in my kitchen for gadgets like that... i have my steamer baskets and my pots and pans...and we're doing just fine...

 

rice is great whenever you want hundreds of something. I used to have one of those rice cookers, it looked like marvin the paranoid androids head.

 

I got one but its a kawasaki.

 

So Have I.........A Z1-B-900..(classic)........No Damn Good For Cooking Rice.........But Sure As Hell Will Get You To The Nearest Chinese Takeout In A Hurry......


Cheers Glen.

 

me too:

 

mine is a ninja..

 

i got a rice cooker for grad. only used it once so far, but i like it. i used to have an awesome steamer that cooked rice perfectly, but it ended up breaking and the new steamer (different brand) sucks hairy balls when it comes to making rice
and im not a fan of minute rice, doesnt taste right and its creepy how fast it cooks. doesnt take all too long in a rice cooker either, and theres no supervision required, huzzah. i like lazy food

 

rice is the easiest thing to make on the stove! twice as much water as rice, bring to a rolling boil, turn down to low, simmer for about 20 minutes, presto changeo, perfect rice. can't be much easier!

and yeah, minute rice sucks balls.

 

This was exactly what i was going to say.

A secondhand steel pot is about 1% the price of a rice cooker and can do so much more. However, if you have the money and like the convenience, I shruggingly say go ahead and buy something useless.

 

lol... yup! i worked at a residential house for adults with dev. disabilities, and we had to cook dinner all the time. well, they always bought minute rice, and when i went to the store for the house i thought i'd cut down on costs and up nutritional value, and bought regular, brown rice. so my coworker comes to me and asks where the rice cooker is. i looked at him, said "you bet," and handed him a pan and said "this is all you need. add water, and turn on the stove." lol... didn't make me real popular, but oh well!

 

Rice cookers rock. I cook my rice twice. Mmmmmm.

 

Hah, rice cookers.. rice is easy! May as well save your cash and get a breadmaker.. now bread is harder to get right and leaving it to rise and prove takes a lot longer than sticking some rice in boiling water.

 

Sugar and Rice is very nice.
