Disappointment.
Jk. I don't fucking know.

>>11036153
>Middle of Summer
>Buys a rice cooker
Not sure if retarded.

>>11036153
I own a similar one. Cooks rice perfectly. Make sure to use the measurements in the directions because they don’t convert to glorious imperial.

>>11036153
>What am I in for?
a delivery of an instant pot within the next 3-5 days, possibly leading to enjoyment because of its benefits, maybe disappointment if it turns out to not be as good as you think it is. maybe you'll start to see more benefits of technology and change the way you previously thought about it since so many people think technology is inherently a bad thing. maybe you'll come up with an idea of how to use technology to solve a problem affecting humanity. the time you save by using it as a pressure cooker could let you focus on some more important things, and some less important things too because we all need to have a little fun once in a while.

>>11036153
perfectly "boiled" eggs.
an overpriced pressure cooker.
that is about all.

>>11036167
>he doesn’t know it’s winter in the Southern hemisphere

>>11036176
They never really experience a proper winter.

>cooks rice perfectly

boils water perfectly. you people are cripples.

>>11036153
A life of poverty and bad choices, apparently.

>takes only 5 minutes to cook. Once it comes to pressure 20 minutes later! Memepot can suck my nuts, but it did make a nice rice. Still takes same amount of time.

>>11036153
I own one. Not sure if I am retarded but I have never cooked anything in it that turns out good. I can cook just fine but I become a total retard using this thing, even when following recipes.

>>11036153
You got meme'd.
Do better.

Things that /ck/ memes that are actually good:
>secret aardvark

>>11036339
Really? I mean I don't need a slow cooker or rice cooker anymore. And I don't have to wait hours for shit to cook.

>>11038256
they're great, i got the 9 in 1, i dunno why all the hate.

>>11036353
>>not tipping
>Paying some stupid cunt to pick up a plate and move it a few feet to your table
I sure hope youre not serious.

>>11036167
do you have some kind of arbitrary rule against eating rice in the summer or something

>>11036353

chinese cleavers belong in the first list

maangchi and mre's are both reddit-tier and shouldn't be in your post at all

>>11038308
His entire post is retarded, don't give him attention.

>>11036193
But they have pinguins.
What's more wintery than a pinguin?

>>11038262
What do you make usually?

>>11036339
For some people meme's are life.

instapot is dope, you can make quick oatmeal, spaghet, stew, etc.

>>11036353

Does the silicone ring stink after use? I'm worried my spic landlady will bitch about it.

>>11038365
stews, rice, pulled pork/chicken tomato sauce, french onion soup, anything i need steamed. fresh yogurt.

>>11038400
no? why would it? food grade silicone should have no smell. if it's off-gasing, keep it away from your food.

>>11036153
Instantaneity

>>11036167
Meanwhile everyone else is sure about you

>>11038400
They absorb odors if you leave them inside the lid

>>11038438
Nice. I think it will be useful.

>>11038446
I read some reviews that it did.

>>11038535
So do you remove it from the lid after each use and wipe it or something?

>that long shipping time

lmao

>>11036153
Anyone know of some good stuff to through in with the rice? I usually put some salt and garlic power in my rice cooker but I'm getting tired of that.

>>11038591
Do a search for spanish or mexican rice.

its good for making soup. i havent used it for much else, but i guess it can do roast beefs

>>11038400
Mine smells like whatever the last thing I cooked was, but it's pretty faint. After washing you gotta stick your nose right up on it to smell the smelly smell. Doesn't introduce any off flavors or anything.

>>11036153
pfft not so instant if it takes a week to get there.

>>11038646
Thanks anon, I found a few and they look simple enough for me. I appreciate it.

>>11036353
I don't really care about MREs I just think Steve1989 has a very pleasant voice. T_T

>>11036153
fucking Asians i swear to god I'm going to burn this board to the ground one day

instant regret

>>11039001
But why?

>>11038987
Not a chink

>>11038438
How long does it take you to make stuff, generally, and about how much prepping? I'd like to just chop a bunch of stuff and throw it in there, maybe saute while doing that.

but can it make beans

>>11036153
you'll be eating a shittonne of rice for a few days, then it will collect dust.

If I was stupid enough to buy any unitasker in this unbearable heat it wouldn't be something that will make me hotter. I would get an ice cream maker.

>>11039181
So you don't eat hot food in the summer? bit weird m8.

>>11036153
Absolute kino. Got it a month ago and it cooks legumes in less the time than on stove top. You can also put your food in it and set to cook the next morning so your breakfast is ready when you wake up

>>11039181
Imagine being so fat that hot foods make you too hot

>>11036153
>What am I in for?
wasted counter space on a low utility microappliance

>>11038400
mine always smells like curry since that's all I ever make in it

A visit from the FBI and certain biolumancent indiciduals.

You can cook stews and some other things faster. The rice is quite nice, if you don't already have a rice cooker. It can saute a little bit. That's about all though.

I just bought one to replace my old ass rice cooker. Seems neat, think I'll try a potato cheese soup tonight with it.

>>11042011
>2018
>still eating ass rice

>>11038273
You're tipping because they're bussing your table and cleaning up after you and your family of slobs.

>>11038568
Wash the ring after every use and don't store the lid locked to the cooker. But even if it takes on odor it won't make much of a difference in your food unless you make dessert or yogurt or whatever. That's why it's advised that you keep separate rings for fragrant foods/light foods/desserts.

>>11036153
the 17th is my birthday. what are you getting me?

>>11042017
My brother.

>>11039127
prepping is the same as regular cooking, but cook times are much shorter, some normal recipes need liquid or seasoning level adjustments because there's no evaporation. rice is always perfect if you follow the directions.

>>11040861
pressure cooks, slow cooks, steams, rice cooker. not really low utility. it's fire and forget convenience though.

>>11042029
that's their job, tipping requires more, it's a reward for good service.

Figure I'll ask here since it's not worth it's own thread. I'm going to make some soups with the Instant Pot and is there really a big difference between buying stock/broth and using bouillon cubes? The price difference is pretty high so if I can just use cubes I want to go that way.

>>11042318
Yes, there is an enormous difference. Bouillon is really just salt. Stock can be very flavorful. Try making your own. It's not difficult and it will cut the cost to almost nothing as you use scraps to make most stocks.

>>11042318
There is not much difference between storebought broth and cubes. Both suck.

There is a fucking huge difference between those and homemade stock. You should make that instead. Use your instapot for it, it makes it super easy.

>>11042330
>Yes
>>11042334
>No
This is why 4chan is always so useful. And since I'm new to soups I plan to try making my own broth here in the future, just thought I'd start easy first.

>>11042330
>Stock can be very flavorful.
Yes, but not the store-bought stuff. It's a salt bomb just like the cubes.

>>11042330
So can u just put a small amount of water with meat in the instant pot to make stock?

>>11043785
bones, dark meat, aromatic vegetables, and enough water to cover. put it on pressure cook, high and let it go an hour or two.

Good for stock and beans. That's literally it. Everything else is just worse than regular methods.

>>11036353
>chili without beans
why would anyone even ironically post this its not even remotely funny

great for stewing. I've yet to not fuck up with the rice cooking function. good for chicken, which is mainly what I use it for

>>11045617
Yeah, it's a retarded meme. There's like one or two tiny regions in Texas where people think putting beans in chili isn't the normal way. I think the people who start the chili/beans threads are just euros and 'strayans larping about something they know nothing about. Same with tipping threads.

>>11036353

Actual faggot right here

>>11045994
How do you know when it's time to go to sleep? Don't worry, the Australians will let you know that their moms called them in for the night because it's too dark to play outside anymore.

>>11046004
It's still bright out here

>Instant pot
>arriving aug 14 - aug 17
Not very instant is it

>>11046014
So... you just don't have any friends?

>>11046036
Haha no
