The second best kitchen appliance is the rice cooker*
Shiny base, matte black lid, uh such a looker
No I don't have a crush on the rice cooker
This appliance can't be my culinary hooker
My heart only has space for one nutritional love
A nightshade root, gifted from mother nature above
Its many forms, into my mouth I will shove
Apologies, I digressed from my second true love
Rice cooker
Without ya
I probably just use pasta 🤷♀️*the/first/being/the/microwave/with/a/potato/inside/of/course/though/until/I/can/get/mine/fixed/or/replaced/the/rice/cooker/takes/top/spot/in/lieu

Edit: I don't really use rice enough to have a rice cooker, also small kitchen. Lots of times if I'm making a rice dish it's cooked in the with sauce too, like risotto, paella type dishes, chilli con carne style meals where I add rice into the pan. On the rare occasion I want to make some plain rice I feel like I do a good enough job in a saucepanEasy stove top fluffy rice every time:
1 cup rice unrinsed, 1.5 cup water. Add to cold pot bring to boil lid off. Simmer on low 12 mins with the lid on. Turn heat off wait 10 mins with lid on (do not take off).
Fluff with fork.
Fluffy
Every time
Major fluff.
UNRINSED? Pure savagery
We have pretty good grown rice here in Australia. No need to rinse.
I think it's more about getting rid of some the starchy powdery stuff on the outside that makes it gluggy - unless you want that like in risotto
I had my doubts too.
unrinsed is the way
I'm not going to downvote you... But I certainly won't upvote you
woooow
🤷♂️you brought this on yourself
WOOOOOOW
brütal haha
I'm willing to put my potato pitchfork aside and join forces with you on this one too 🤝 unrinsed rice... there's gotta be something wrong with the rice. Or the person. For real
Fully agree with this. Very good method.
You seem like a pretty knowledgeable person. I can't really believe you would be supporting this non-rinsing nonsense (aside from risotto, exclusively). Can you please help me talk some sense into the heathens?
Unrinsed? You’re making all the Asian ancestors cry
I like cooking more rice then needed, I dry the leftovers out in the oven on low for a few hours and use that in stirfrys. Tbh, I have not cooked rice in a pan/pot before haha
yes!!! I have a microwave rice cooker, cos i don't have space for a real one. It works. I should really start padding my meals out with brown rice again, it's such a great food.
do it! relatively cost effective way to get full and pad out the meals :D
