i am not a rice cooker

>>14602865
i would want to try it, stewed tomato juice soaked into rice is pretty good, just need really good tomato, no stringy garbo

>>14602865
Sometimes when Im lazy Ill dump a can of black beans in there to.

Yes when Im too lazy to make a more complicated rice dish as a side. Sometimes a hot pepper as well.

>>14602913
thats not a bad idea

Oh and sometimes I drain a can of this and dump it in

That an interesting idea. How should I season it.?

Isn't that a pickled plum?
I cook rice with tomato juice or chicken-tomato-stock sometimes.

>>14602865

Yes, that dish is called an Oriental Prolapse.

>>14602865
I don't have a rice cooker because I know how to cook rice and don't eat it every day like an unimaginative OCD retard.

>>14602865
wouldn't this ruin your rice cooker?

>>14602865
>in your are rice cooker
jeeze louize, reddit was right, you guys really are very stupid. explains all the racism.

>>14604131
would it? how do you clean one any way i dont have one yet

no gf's pos cat always ruins it

>>14604317
It's just a nonstick or ceramic inner pot

>>14604145
you'll get maybe two bites, not counting this one

>>14604111
This is you’re brain on porn

>>14604349
Then stop letting your cat bully her cat you asshole.

>>14604317
no it wouldnt youre fine, its just a regular coat metal pot

>>14604349
damn i wish my turds looked that healthy

>>14604809

>>14604349
that made me laugh so hard

>Not having a cheap small rice cooker to conveniently and effortlessly cook perfect rice every time
Hell I don’t even eat rice every week and still I wouldn’t go back

>>14605002
Yeah, great. A unitasker that does what I can do just as easily with ordinary cookware. You don't have to stand over the pot stirring, you know.

>>14602865
My dad always puts there an onion studded with cloves when he cooks rice

>>14605002
you ricecooker fags are something else. how hard is it to put it in a pot with the right amount of water and simmer it for 13 min

>>14604349
thats not a cat shit lads, thats a human shit

>>14602865
>you are rice cookers
Spastic.

>>14605009
>unitasker
alright

>>14602865
No, I like foods that have flavor.

>>14605472
tfw you've never had a good tomato

>>14605009
No it will never be as good in a pot, trust me. The machine knows better than you.

>>14605537
Not that guy, but I disagree with you on that. I have seen several rice cookers that did not cook it perfectly, mostly due to being cheap shitty models! While I do believe they are handy, I doubt you would actually NEED one to cook perfect rice, unless you are not good at cooking. What model are you using?

>>14605322
Its harder than pressing on button.

I'm asian and I eat rice everyday
but I still dont know how to cook rice without it

>>14604888
Thanks Jack

>>14605515
If only they existed.

>>14604111
ok coomer

>>14602865
what does the tomato even do to the rice?

>>14602865
no. but you should put one in you're asshole

>>14604904
I used to do that too. Better than bouillon is cheaper overall and much easier to manage considering a small jar will last you months.

>>14602865
I throw tomatoes at my rice cooker if she cooks it wrong and tell her to go back to the kitchen and cook it properly, if that counts.

>>14602865
Depending what the rice is for. I often put an anise seed in it, maybe some coriander seeds.
They pop up, easy to remove and add great taste.

>>14602865
No, but I've used tomato sauce and chicken broth in place of water to make spanish rice in my cooker before.

>>14604527
>>14605790

Imagine hearing the word "prolapse" and immediately thinking of something sexual.

>>14604083
Umiboshi, right? How does it taste? Never had it. Would like to.

i like to add a bit of this to my rice if im making mexicanish food

>>14605880

thats a good tip, ill remember that, thanks anon

>>14602865
when I was in college I ate rice too much. I would dump salsa and corn in along with some spices and eat it out of a solo cup on my way to class. it isn't half bad.

>>14605322
my rice cooker takes an hour to make rice, 64 minutes if it's basmati

I don't know how the carb addicted pompous midwits on /ck/ can bend to any lengths to justify buying some meme single purpose side dish preparer like this but shit all over me every time I try to start a discussion on functional home appliances like steamers and rollers.

Did you know the average American consumers 128 hot dogs a year? That is 512 hot dogs a year for a family of four. One could go so far as to say that Hot Dogs in all their many forms are foundational to the American diet. Now compare that to what I see in this thread.
>I am jack's serotonin spike when he purchases impulse items on amazon that he only uses once a week

Obsessed, deranged, rent-free, etc.

>>14607208
Can you use it for things beyond hotdogs? Or at least for hotdog variations?

>>14607380
Steamers sausage type materials and hamburgers work best. Rollers work great with any tube like food substance, whether it be taquitos, pizzarolls, sausages, or even corndogs!

The world of hot dog preparation is terrifyingly deep.

>>14602865
It works pretty nice.

>>14605002
I just use my Instantpot.

>>14605322
I've tried countless times trying to make stovetop rice and I'm not a fuckin' wizard like my half-Filipino father was at doing that shit. I like my cheap rice cooker. Fuck you.

Sarah Connor

Why do people say rice cookers are single purpose? I use them for basically any grain like porridge as well: cornmeal mush, oatmeal, etc.

>>14609617
Because it's called a fucking rice cooker. A can opener can be used for more than opening cans, that doesn't mean people do beyond one with a bottle opener. But yes, they can be used for more. But an Instant Pot can do more than them and I think that's why more people see that as more of a multi-tasker. Rice Cookers are nice though.

>>14609370
Your mother

>>14607130
what the fuck lol you can cook basmati on a stove in 15 min

>>14607130
Then it's broken or super shitty.

>>14605009
I use mine for a bunch of stuff. Fondue, oatmeal, reheating canned veggies, ramen, steaming broccoli and carrots. You just have 0 ingenuity or imagination. But hey you're just some bitter autist who literally gets triggered by kitchen appliances, so fuck you faggot.

>>14610719
You just described a bunch of other things that can be done just as easily in a pot on a stove (some of them more easily, actually.) Except maybe fondue, which is fucking stupid anyway.

>>14605813

So your only arguments are
>Stop liking what I don't like
And
>I don't like fondue
Gotcha.

>>14610719
I used to use mine for stirfry or a mega pancake. It was easier to clean than a skillet

>>14610753
Yeah they're so easy to clean, just wipe it out and put it up. Dude I didn't even thing about it but I could probably do a muffin or brownie in there, shit I got to think more about deserts.

>>14610706
it's a zoji

>>14610727
fascinating :O

Can anyone rec a cheap reliable rice cooker? doesnt have to be fancy. Thanks :)

>>14602865
Im not a rice cooker dickhead, speak for yourself

Another rice cooker recipe is to put a piece of cold fried chicken on top. It doesn't come out crispy whatsoever but it reheats effectively without drying out. You have to pick the bones out afterwards but you can break the chicken up into your rice, it's sort of like chicken fried rice.

u big dum

>>14607208
Hot dogs are one type of food that people eat occasionally, especially during special holidays like the 4th of July. Usually they prepare it on a grill, because they were going to use the grill anyway for other foods. It's hard for me to believe that hot dogs are some kind of staple food that families regularly eat several days every single week. As such, a whole fucking hot dog steamer will never be worth it for small families who may only be cooking enough for themselves to eat. The only way a full fledged hot dog steamer would pay off is if you were a hot dog salesman. Why would you buy a hot dog steamer to make one or two hotdogs. Imagine cleaning that shit every time you wanted one fucking hot dog. A hotdog steamer is a great example of something Americans buy and use once for the novelty and then put it in the basement or some shit to collect dust.

A ricecooker consistently cooks rice in a easy, convenient manner, and also frees up a burner on your stovetop. Rice is a staple food, that you can pair with a gorillion things.

In other words, you are fucking retarded.

>>14614738
Nice headcannon, faggot

>>14606965

i hate you so much

>rice cookers

wtf?
just put 2 cups of water per 1 cup of long grain rice
boil it slightly then cover it on low heat

turn off the heat once water level's fucking lower than the rice and fuck off and forget about it for a while

rate my recipe
>saute 1 green onion in oil until it browns
>wash rice because i'm not a fucking mongoloid
>add a bit more oil and add the rice, stir it for a minute
>add a cup of diced carrots and half a cup of broccoli and add the water
DON'T ADD A CUP OF BROCOLLI BECAUSE IT MAKES THE ENTIRE THING TASTE LIKE FUCKING BROCCOLI HOLY FUCKING SHIT IF YOU DO THAT I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF YOU LIKE BROCOLLI I WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND PERSONALLY TAKE A FAT FUCKING SHIT LIKE THAT CAT IN YOUR RICE WHILE IT COOKS THEN FUCKING STIR IT UP SO YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE IT OFF
>stir that shit and cover it for the times i mentioned above
>add salt and fluff after the waiting period

tastes good without soy sauce or hot sauce

>>14605322
I can set mine in the morning to start cooking an hour before I get home so I always have fresh rice to come home to. Stay mad fag, it also sings me songs in Korean.

I used to be skeptical, having grown up always cooking it in a pot and finding it perfectly tasty and easy. But after having lived with someone who has one and using it a bunch I'd never go back.

The result is at least as good or I would agree even better than on the stove and it takes care of everything. I can just toss rice, liquid and maybe kale or onion or tomato whatever in there, throw it on and that's it. Go putter in the garden for a while and then whenever I feel like rice it's right there perfectly cooked and warm.

>>14602865
I wonder if a pickled tomato would be even better...

>>14615468
How's that "huge" to you? That bowl's like four tablespoons wide so the thing in the center is roughly 1,5 tablespoons, which is in line with your size description of an oomeebowshee.

>>14615381
>wtf?
>just put 2 cups of water per 1 cup of long grain rice
>boil it slightly then cover it on low heat
>turn off the heat once water level's fucking lower than the rice and fuck off and forget about it for a while

Sure that's easy.
The alternative is 2 cups water, 1 cup rice, put in cooker, click button, walk away.
Perfect rice is ready whenever you want it.

>having a rice cooker
Imagine being so incompetent that you're literally unable to do something as simple as putting rice in a pot, filling it with water and waiting 10 minutes.

> uses an alton brown meme in regards to rice cookers.

To quote Alton Brown

" Rice cookers are good. I like them and use them. If a tool is used almost ubiquitously by a culture—such as the rice cooker in Japan and parts of China—there's going to be a good reason for it. It's extraordinarily good at doing, yes, one thing but one thing you need to do right. I especially like the fuzzy-logic models which gauge when it's ready and switch to warming. Rice isn't easy.

But I wouldn't call that a unitasker. You can use a rice cooker to make steamed puddings and custards, make oatmeal in them over night. You have to ask, "What else cooks like rice?" Odds are, you can cook that in a rice cooker."

>>14617819
The advantage is it keeps the rice prepared throughout the whole day for you.

>>14605322

There is a reason Asians all use rice cookers now.

The kind of people who eat hot dogs on a regular basis are probably too poor to even afford a hot dog steamer. Rice cookers are kind of lame but a large portion of Americans eat rice a few times a week a least.

It's not like rice is hard, but for a staple food it's nice to have it basically make itself and keep hot and ready for whenever.

>>14602865
I tried it once and I was severely disappointed. The issue was that the tomato didn't cook all the way through and the rice was perfect, so when I went to crush the tomato and mix it in with the rice the inner half of the tomato was still stiff and undercooked so I was left with rice that tasted vaguely of tomato and bits of tomato skin with a huge lump of uncooked tomato flesh sitting somewhere in it.

>>14621659
Not OP but I've gad good success with cherry tomatoes which are mostly what I grow anyways. I throw a handful in and it can be a nice addition. I usually like a little vegetable of some sort to give a bit more flavor.

>>14605322
it frees up stove space while leaving you free to cook the real food. And imagine having lukewarm rice or lukewarm food depending on which you cook on the stove 1st. Fuck that

>>14617819
If you're gonna eat rice everyday, at almost every meal, yes, a rice cooker is not just helpful, it's essential. Cooks and keeps rice warm.

Gook here.

There are several really good things a rice cooker can do. You can steam eggs which is what poor people eat, you can steam pork sausages and the fat will glaze the rice, if you are making Indian/Persian food you can put hard spices in the water to flavor the rice (peppercorn, Turmeric, cloves), you can steam greens

Two steamed eggs, green and rice is 90% of your nutritional needs for the day so is popular for semi-homeless people who live in cubicles
