We have a rice cooker. It’s this one:

With a plastic stand up shamoji, like this one:

It was a christmas present. Every chinese (or part-chinese) house should have one, apparently.

I agree with @japes: it’s a game changer.

I’m not a rice idiot, I just don’t like having to tend to my rice like it’s some sort of fragile China plate being moved by laurel and hardy

That’s it: I challenge you to a rice-off

GET IT BOILING. LEAVE IT ALONE FOR 8 MINUTES. PUT A LID ON IT. LEAVE IT ALONE FOR ANOTHER 8 MINUTES.

@rich-t help me out here, they’re not getting it

rice is really hard to get right. Most people cook it badly in my experience.

If you’ve got a technique that works, great (I have, but it took me a good 5 years or so to get there). But I can see the appeal of a rice cooker.

Right, you too. You, me, japes and a hob.

Whoa whoa whoa, let me assure you my rice is right nice. I do loads of types too, basmati, long grain, brown, risotto, sushi, all nice. Coming in here besmirching my rice game, seriously

Don’t be a hobnob

no salt?

Someone left a poo sitting in the leftmost gents toilet yesterday that looked exactly like a rolled up ball of hobnobs.

Leftmost eh? Classic Corbyn.

Yeah I used to be really rubbish at rice, but then I studied the way of the dragon (Ken homs method) and that works for everything: basmati, Thai, sticky, whatever. :+1:

Brown rice is the best rice. Fight me.

run a fork through your rice to ensure fluffiness! :slightly_smiling_face:

yo’u need salt bro
