When I first over out I refused to get a rice cooker because i thought it was frivolous and unnecessary to own a rice cooker when you can do the exact same thing on the stove, but I recently bought a rice cooker.
While it is fairly simple to cook rice on the stove, there's the annoying aspect of having the starch froth up over the top of the pan and burn/smoke on my electric stove top. Also, you have to be very diligent with timing or watching it otherwise its easy to leave it on the stove for too long. It also takes up a whole burner when I need to cook other things.

Granted all of those inconveniences can be mitigated pretty easily, but with the rice cooker i got i don't even have to think about them anymore. Easily a worthwhile 20 dollars idk why I didnt get one sooner.

m8 the best way to cook rice is on the lowest flame possible, literally the lowest flame you can get before it goes out. when i do this i actually plug the vent in the lid and it never bubbles or boils. it takes about 35mins, never open the lid or stir, just tiny tiny flame and wait and it's pRefect

the wait can be restrictive, but when you're doing things around the house or in the kitchen before dinner it's quite easy to get it setup. i find that when i start the rice i have just enough time to get frozen chicken out, prep my veggies, etc. and by the time the whole dinner is ready the rice is too. and it's always perfect grains, stick together but no mush, and no fucking hard/dry/burned spot on the bottom

Is it really a unitasker if you're eating rice as a staple? When I think unitasker I think things that will be used a few times a year at most. I'm not even Asian, and the rice cooker is a fucking workhorse.

[Anonymous No.15334899]

It honestly does. I dated a Korean girl for a few years in college and her mother had some really fancy branded rice cooker and it churned out perfect rice multiple times a day without effort. And her mom was a chef at a high dollar local place. I refuse to spend $300 or whatever that thing was on a rice cooker but admit that by doing so, I won’t attain that level of perfect rice.

Rice cookers also do volumes of rice that would be an absolute pain stovetop.

why the FUCK are you cooking it like pasta, stupid? You put the rice in (after washing it ~5 times with water) as soon as the water begins to bubble, and then immediately turn the heat down to a low simmer. That shit is on the package instructions when you buy the rice. This is supposed to be a cooking board, why the fuck are there so many goddamn people who can't do something as simple as cook rice?? Holy fuck it's so annoying.

Some of the higher end rice cookers can get close but stovetop will always be the best.

Frankly, because it reduces the amount of things you need to think about. If you're cooking rice in a rice cooker, it's not inherently flavorful enough to matter, so you need to make extra dishes. Having the rice be something that can be kept out of mind really helps with focusing on the dishes you're gonna make, especially when you look at Chinese cuisine and Chinese dinners are actually made of lots of smaller dishes.

rice cooker makes perfect rice every time without having to babysit it.
you can cook rice on the stove but if you turn your back for even 1 minute you can fuck it up badly.
also with rice cookers they're fairly "set it and forget it". Asian cultures eat shitloads of rice every day, so it's quicker and easier to just put a kilo of rice on before going to bed, set a timer and you'll have perfectly cooked rice for when you wake up every time.
same with coming home from work or school. put some rice in, set the timer and you'll have a batch of perfect fkn rice ready just as you get home for dinner.

It has a keep warm function, and when working people come in the door from work, at different hours, this daily food staple is taken care of for the meal so that your shitty tiny one burner hot plate can cook the rest of the meal.

In other words, anon, 3rd worlders have gotten used to substandard kitchen spaces. No top cabinets to keep china pristine and spotless and organized, no Viking range setups, ever, no miles of countertop for working with family together or rolling out doughs, no ample storage and pantry solutions, just a food as sustenance kind of mentality minimalism. Seriously. Look at some high end realestate ads if you don't believe me.

With the rice cooker you can turn it on and just walk away. It's big enough that you can dump other stuff in to cook or steam it.

Unless you need enough rice to feed a family of 6 you can cook a whole meal in it by dumping stuff in and pushing a button. Very little skill, very little washing.

I got one for £20 as a student. Rice and beans. Rice and frozen veg. Add some chorizo. Add some diced meat. Whatever, it can do it and you can make really cheap food with it.

I mean I'm a pretty skilled cook. I make all kinds of stuff from scratch and do some involved preparations. But the ease of making rice is particularly what makes it suited to letting a machine do it.

I never particularly learned to make amazing rice on the stovetop-- my rice cooker makes it better and with less fuss. Because rice is a staple that I eat 10-15 times a week on average, it's really, really nice to not have to put a pot on the stove and cook it 10-15 times a week. I cook rice three times a week in my Neuro Fuzzy cooker. It keeps it fresh for multiple days.

I guess if you live alone it doesn't really matter, but its helpful when you have a family that eats rice everyday. You can put the rice in the cooker and forget about it, and it keeps it warm until dinner. In the mean time you can use the stove to make the actual main dishes the family will be eating, instead of having one of the big burners taken up by rice. So basically because its a large amount of rice quickly, with no mental effort to look after it/time it properly to keep it warm for dinner, I can use the stovetop to cook other things, and I can just put the insert in the dishwasher afterwards for tomorrow.

It's one of the few worthwhile kitchen gadgets. Put rice and water in, close lid, walk away. It requires no other effort at all. No watching, no adjusting flame, and there's little to no sticking either. It keeps warm forever, too, so if you get distracted, no problem. It's always sitting there, steaming hot.

Throw it in the oven and reverse sear, sear it first then throw it in the oven, grill it on charcoal or propane if you've got it, etc. All will make great steaks. But you're delusional if you think any of those methods will beat an 1800f+ infrared grill. Your home kitchen simply doesn't have any equipment that can match that level of heat output.

Pretend all you want that your home cook steaks are better, but anyone that's actually worked at a steakhouse or similar and has actually grilled a steak on an infrared grill knows you're an idiot to begin with.

For me, I live in a small apartment with a two burner stove. By the time my rice is done I'll have finished cooking all the fixins.. I'd rather do that and have fresh rice then cook rice on the stove and have it resting while I cook everything else.

>dousing high calorie food with high calorie oil
Im sure it tastes good but i like not being fat. Dont need my side dish contributing more of my caloric intake than my protein.

I bought a cheapo one to try out and its great, definitely investing in a zojirushi when it reaches the end of its life.

I wish I had some better wisdom to pass on here, but my experience seems to be that they heat up slower but get hotter than you'd expect. Take a few days to experiment, get a candy thermometer to see hot how the water gets at each setting. Find an autistic as hell recipe that mentions water temps in stove top rice. You'll get there in time.

Thankfully though, electric ovens are negligibly different than gas ovens. Keep using that the same way you'd use your old oven.

I used to use one of these. Only problem was the microwave was kill from inahling steam. Had to get it fixed then take it out of the cubby and leave it on the bench so the steam could fuck away properly when I cooked rice. I just stove top it these days.

It's doing a temperature measurement, and the water/rice ratios are perfect for the given pot unlike the figures quoted online. You're not doing better.

You don't know how rice cookers work. The only variable not automatically controlled for is water volume; you can add too little and undercook your rice.

Never tried this slow simmer method. She seems to be talking exclusively about short-grain sushi rice. Have you tried this with long-grain like basmati or jasmine?

If you're saying you need different rice cookers for different grain lengths, I'm out.

I can set it and forget it.
Like, no matter what else I am doing I can also do rice because the rice cooker will take care of it for me.

I've done it with medium but not basmati or jasmine. It comes out the same with the medium grain as it does with short grain/sushi rice though

And she certainly does crap on and on doesn't she

It's less messy. It's convenient. It's portable. It's PORTABLE. Forgot to pay the gas bill? You can still cook your rice in your rice cooker. Camping or living in a van and can't bring your entire stove with you to cook some rice? You have your rice cooker. It's convenient.

At least in asia because a rice cooker is far more convenient than cooking multiple badges of rice a day and the rice always turns out good.

As a broke college student, it saves time, and buying a huge bag of rice saves me money plus you can add frozen vegetables and meat and cook it all together.

can you put beans in a rice cooker

You can cook lentils but beans need pressure to cook properly.

You can put anything that requires hot water in a rice cooker. You can put those Knorr sides in a rice cooker. You can put ramen in a rice cooker. Lentils, beans, eggs, pasta, etc.

So a rice cooker is basically a pot with temperature control, that you can't use on the stove and have to plug it instead, right?

Why not simply create a pot with temperature control, that you can use on the stove?
Or a stove with temperature control/timer, although those do exist...

Rice cookers are automatic.
The good ones adjust heat and pressure to make sure the rice is cooked perfectly, despite which ratio you use.

Chink here. Our family uses rice cookers because it keeps the rice warm even after an hour or two. It's also because no one watches over anything. We literally just put water and rice and leave until dinner comes by.

no you fucking mongolian
if you don't wash your rice you're essentially dumping tablespoons of flour into your pot because there's rice dust stuck to every rice grain that needs to be washed away if you want decent texture
