What is steamed rice?

>>5426377
my sister keeps buying bags of instant rice when we have a lot of white rice in our house.

>>5426377
Where the fuck do you purchase steamed rice? I've never seen it at any store.

what is any microwaveable frozen food

A child.

>>5426383
frozen shit

What is bread?

>>5426389
Why would anyone bother defrosting and reheating frozen cooked rice when in 15-20 minutes you can have a pot of fresh, hot, perfectly-textured rice?

>>5426392
microwaves

Convenience is why these products exists

>>5426245
What is marinara?

What is Soup Alex? For 500.

What is kimchi.

>>5426245

What is Spaghettio?

>>5426395
How is it more convenient? You put rice and water in a pot, boil, then simmer on low for 15-20 minutes. You don't even have to fucking watch it. Rice cookers make it even easier. There is no convenience factor involved.

>>5426245
I'll take "What is baked salmon" for a thousand, Alex.

>>5426492
There are room temp stable packs of rice avialbe as well, just microwave and good to go. Being Chinese, this shit is ridiculous to me, but many of my white friends use the,.

I can understand maybe stick rice becuase it requires a day soak and then cooking... but that's really no different than cooking dried beans. Considering how much water weight you're buying when purchasing pre-cooked rice and beans, you might as well just throw you rmoney down the drain.

>>5426395
Why would anyone bother not making fresh rice in the microwave?

>>5426492
Actually microwaves work really well for some things. For instance let's say some frozen foods, use the microwave oven to defrost it and warm it up a little then finish it off in a pan. It's really not an either or thing.

They're also good for reheating leftover chinese food such as spring rolls or crab rangoons. A pan is best for the main things, but sometimes, it's already in a dish just pop in the microwave and it's done.

The point is GET 'ER DONE! So it is convenient sometimes when used properly and combined with real heat from a pan when that's called for.

>>5426277
gotta feed that candida brah

>>5426245
you can't answer your own question, you idiot

I was eating some hummus today that had diced up jalapeño sprinkled on top and I think it had some smoked paprika lightly dusted on top as well, was pretty good combo.

>>5426245

Milk.

>>5426245

bechamel sauce
mash

>>5426245
What is flour.

>>5426245
Egg whites in the carton instead of just buying eggs and separating the whites yourself.

>>5427720
Egg whites and Egg yolk cartons are fucking awesome.
Try making deserts for a restaurant, you'll understand.

mayonnaise

>>5427729
>any form of stock
Agreed.

Does take at least three hours which not everyone has though.

>>5428347
So you basically just refuted your own argument.

Not having a couple quarts of prepackaged stock hanging around just in case you need it in a pinch is pretty stupid.

>>5428347
It takes three hours of leaving shit to simmer while you something else. Don't be fooled by these underaged retards saying the don't have the time, they just can't be arsed to.

Chances are that if they're sitting on their computer and posting here, they most certainly can.

This.

>pretending that 90 second instant rice isn't at all more convenient than spending 20-30 minutes cooking it, even if the cooking itself is extraordinarily simple.

Look, I am not defending instant rice, but dont be an idiot. There are a lot of people willing to trade quality for convenience.

I buy a lot of stuff I can make for the glass jars/tins
Are I Pleb?

>>5428379
Maybe you have to have grown up eating a rice-based diet, but I will take 20 minutes out of my life rather than eat lousy rice every single time.

Flour

>not growing your own grains and processing them into homemade flour

>>5426245
water

fucking TOMATO SAUCE

Jesus Christ it tastes so much better homeade, freezes well and takes an hour to make a huge batch. But the shelves are stocked with dozens of shitty jarred sauces.

>>5426245

pancakes
scrambled eggs
most other breakfast foods

I'll have a burger at 9AM, I don't care. Breakfast foods are, ironically, a perfect example of the Ron Swanson creed, "People who buy things are suckers".

>>5426245
>2014
>buying anything other hydrogen

>>5426245
but I get homemade hummus from the country store ten minutes down the road, and I just can't replicate the quality, no matter how many times I try

genius fucking lebanese

>>5426245
>implying i own a chinois

>>5428555
>chinois
it's unnecessary, surely you have a blender or food processor

>>5428598
you'll never get the right texture without one. or a $500 blender

>>5426245
Unless you buy it from a middle
eastern market that makes it fresh every morning

>>5426245
But I fucking hate cooking

plant fertilizer

First: Not everyone works for a restaurant. Second: When I baked for one, I cracked the eggs my goddamn self and it wasn't that much fucking trouble.

Obviously you didn't work for a busy one.
>tfw we're out of easy yolks or whites and I have to separate 2 flats of eggs by hand just to make souffle.

>>5428821
>Obviously you didn't work for a busy one
>2 flats of eggs

dude 2 flats isnt shit. we'd do a whole case for brunch service and didnt take more than 10 minutes.

a flat on each side and a cambro in the middle, crack one with each hand 2 flats shouldnt take more than 2 min if that
