Ferraris are just pieces of shit.
>t./o/

Because I got the Aroma rice cooker for $30 and it works fine considering I eat rice maybe 1-2 days a month.

>>17391420
I don't eat bugmen marsh grains, you dummy.

You bring shame upon your ancestors and your descendents but you will never have any

>>17391587
It's perfectly acceptable in a lot of cultures, you chinky bugman faggot.

>>17391603
>It's perfectly acceptable in a lot of cultures
maybe in a lot of cultures that are bad at cooking

I just use a pot. Toast the rice, add water, turn heat to low when it boils and leave it for 10-15 minutes. If I want drier rice I add less water. Never understood the point of a rice cooker. I bought one and just end up still making it in a pot cause I'm too lazy to get it from the balcony.

>>17391603
Rarely using short grain japonica rice though

Japanese rice cookers are mainly designed to cook japanese rice, so it's pretty irrelevant how other cultures cook non-japanese rice.

>>17391420
I don't cook japonica and long grain rice comes out fine on the stove. I also like to saute a little garlic in the pot before adding the rice & water/broth.
I used to have a cheaper rice cooker but it took up precious counter space and tended to crisp up the bottom layer of rice, meanwhile my pot doesn't have that problem.

Should i get a rice cooker to make big fluffy pancakes with or are they overhyped? I typically prefer a burnt pancake but a big round perfect cake would probably be better

Do one pot rice cooker meals cook well? I want to cook chicken thigh, broccoli and rice but don't know if the chicken will be thoroughly cooked or not. Would it turn out slimy? nobully

>>17391640
Because you don't eat rice every single day for every single meal like Asians do, you fucking retard. That's why they buy rice cookers

Just cut into bite sized pieces beforehand and it will be fine

>>17392594
thanks anon

>>17391420
I cook rice in a pot in the stove and it's not hard

>>17392553
You can just make that in the oven, it's really easy.

>>17392553
the heat of the rice cooks the chicken

>>17391420
i left my pot in the sink for like 16 months and it's got mold all over it and i'm afraid even if i clean it really well i'll die if i use it and i'm not paying $80 for a new pot.

>>17391420
>thinking 300 dollar rice cooker is akin to ferraris
Kek I literally have a 1500 dollar rice cooker collecting dust in the cupboard because I found out I can cook rice better than it.

>>17391587
i wish he called white people gweilos in his vids, would be much funnier

>>17391420
I only cook Basmati which I prepare to my personal taste by throwing the needed portion into the boiling water for 13 minutes, then strainig in a collander. But I prefer potatoes as a side dish anyways.

>>17391583
After all this time you're dumbass didn't stumble into the right rice to water ratio once,?

God damn you're such a nigger. Bad nigger.

>>17393101
The trick is, you never needed to. If you accept only perfection, then you can never truly accept yourself.

>>17391420
Doesn’t work on chad australia’s strong voltage.

i have a tiger. it's fine

>>17391420
I'm european so although i think Zojirushi's are reliable and the logo looks cute i have to go for a Yumasia instead due to Zoji's bad coverage in Europe. They're pretty good actually.

>>17391579
Luxury rice cookers are pretty much the same as instant pots really. They have lots of the same functions and reliability.

Do instant pots have fuzzy logic tech actually /r just default programs.

I have a massive pressure cooker pot. And I have an induction stovetop that can be timed. So I don't have to buy single-purpose shit. (I do have other Zojirushi stuff coincidentally.)

>>17391583
its not. hard. to cook rice. Just buys a $30 rice cooker and be done with it

ITS NOT HARD TO COOK RICE

>>17393379
>ITS NOT HARD TO COOK RICE
Why buy the fucking rice cooker then?

>>17393904
MUST CONSOOM

>>17391420
Because I know how to cook rice.

>>17392701
Of course you do, anon. Of course you do. :)

>>17391420
But I do, mine was $125 though, when I bought it in 2003. It's probably cooked 2 or 3 tons of rice and it looks like it's been through ww1, 2, and 3. I should buy a new one one of these days

>>17391420
because I have one of these. Well, actually I have 3 but one is enough

>>17393904
Better rice, super consistent results, and I can make rice in the morning for breakfast/lunch and come home from work to still hot/fresh rice for dinner.

>>17391420
>Zojirushi

I went with the other side of the Axis and got a Krupps rice cooker.

>>17391420
Why would I, when given a better option?

>>17391576

Whites cultivated rice too in southern Europe you uncultured dweeb (saying this as a non liberal)

I don't get why people here seethe about rice cookers.
I don't cook rice every single day, but I own a Zoji IH model and the automation is nice when you're prepping & cooking your meal, while it's doing its thing. Same with pressure cookers, I like convenience.

>>17392577

Some Whites eat rice often too, Chang.

>>17392701

Is it gold with encrusted diamonds?

>>17395326

You're either not White or have to study your roots more

>>17391420

That looks pretty nice actually but not 300 dollars of nice

>>17391420

Does it have a propensity for catching fire?

>>17391420
why would you eat empty carbs

/fit/ told me rice is fattening, but at one point I wanted to try a rice diet, just eat rice everyday for dinner, but I guess you gotta have something with it like meat? In my animu, the family usually just eats giant bowls of white rice and sometimes fish/meat or soup.

Is it possibly to just live off white rice? Is that over-exaggerated in anime? I never understood how you can eat like 3-4 bowls of fucking PLAIN WHITE RICE, they don't even put soy sauce or butter on it? It has no seasoning at all, it must taste bland. Truth be told I always wanted a Zojirushi, I could afford one but it'd still be a big investment for me. I could drop $300 on one, but it'd be wasted if I don't use it everyday.

>>17396546
Asians don't just eat rice by itself. There's always meat and/or veg accompanied.

>>17396546
Just get a cheapo rice cooker, the elephant ones have a million extra weeb features you'll never use unless you were raised with asian cooking. The fifteen dollar ones you just add X rice, ~2X your liquid of choice (water or broth) and push the lever. it cooks the rice perfect every time and then keeps it warm for you so you don't have to babysit that fucker. Then just add something to the rice and you're done. Meat, veg, egg, doesn't fucking matter but really don't eat rice by itself you'll get sick of it

>>17391420
Is that like a scale or something? I ain't no drug dealer.

>>17396546
If it's just rice you're after then one of those 20 bucks rice cookers will do fine.

>>17391420
Because like you I'm not japanese

>>17391420
i own one
it's nice
love the ease of cleanup

Xiaomi IH is better than a zoji and 400 dollars less

>>17391420
i've used at least 3 rice cookers in my life now, each lasted for over a decade so you could imagine the upgrade leap after purchasing the third one and compared it to the first
now I just use a pot to blanch the rice and steam them, quicker, superior rice texture (at least for fried rice) :|

>>17391420
Because I have plenty of pots of varying sizes, and I'm not so stupid that I need a unitasker to make rice.

>>17398256
>pots
Good consooooomer, I bet you also have a stove and live in a (((house))), who the fuck needs that when you can just life in the woods and cook on stones. Good consoomer, fucking retard needs (((pots))) when there are free rocks just next to him. Fucking stupid unitasker using plebeian

>>17391420
I own a 30 euros rice cooker and it does the job
