I'm from Europe and this is the way everyone cooks their rice.

I was surprised to learn it's unpopular in America and everyone over there is pretentious regarding boil-in-bag.

It's weird. Most of the time America is so much worse than Europe when it comes to food, the bread and the cheese being the worst offenders, but there are these little things American NPCs get really uppity about, like the aforementioned boil-in-bag rice, or kosher salt, or muh cast iron pans.

Really? What country?

Boil-in-bag rice is converted par-cooked rice. The texture is crappy, like it has holes punched through it all. It was once popular for brown rice, which took longer to cook, or to state it was instant/minute rice on the box. Some people were just so scared rice would stick together. It was something that could also be added into a pot of gumbo and cook in the sauce in a skillet like that without much guesswork. This preceded microwaves in popularity.

I don't understand why anyone would want that horrible texture, but there used to be all kinds of boil-n-bag dinners that I guess you could boil in the same stock pot of hot water. Stouffer's still makes a couple of them, such as their chipped beef in gravy. I guess sous vide isn't so modern, but old school lazy. It's still popular to use a bag sealer and do a seafood steam in those bags floating in hot water. From freezer to pot.

Rice cookers are by no means single use items. They're used to make porridge, soups, and even cakes. They kinda fill in the gaps most East Asians have in the kitchen because they don't have an oven. That said, this obviously isn't super useful to westerners.
Anyway, most white people eat a lot of rice in my country. It's what you have with a curry. Personally, I just love making Chinese food.

American cheese isn't worthless and I'm tired of people thinking it is. American has unique properties that no other cheese has, chemically speaking it's about half way between cheese and butter. The only reason it isn't labeled as real cheese is because 100 years ago the dairy lobby protested it because it was selling too popularly and putting cheese farmers out of business.

The only time I actually that tried that was when my mother got it for cheap and gave it a whirl. It was not bad, but it's even more expensive than rice usually is here. Cheap rice is like what, 2,50€ for 500g? I can get a kilo of pasta for not even a third of that.

Denmark here:

Bagged rice is mainly sold to boomers who can't or wont cook. They're mostly single, and often eat frozen dishes.

Families who rarely eat rice, also purchase this product to avoid having to learn how to cook rice properly. They often purchase it, when it's on sale.

Middle eastern granma willing to buy whatever is cheapest possible, purchase this when it's on sale. Regular price on a bag of rice is still cheaper, but granma doesn't look at weight of product, only size.

I used to purchase it to make rice pudding, due to the type of rice. Rather that then buying a 1+ kilo bag, only to throw over half of it away. I don't do that anymore, now that they've upped the quality of their product and those bags often contain long grain.
