Cooking Internet is full of people complaining about not being able to cook rice consistently and then East Asian people saying ‘just get a rice cooker’ and them saying ‘never’
You can’t help people who don’t want help
@skinnylatte I was 17 before I realized that you could cook rice without a rice cooker.
@mayintoronto @skinnylatte I mean, you *can* but why would you? 
@kinsale42 @mayintoronto I do it if I’m cooking biryani or some style of south asian rice, but for everyday white or brown rice (and in the quantities we eat) a rice cooker is superior
@skinnylatte @kinsale42 We were camping, and I asked: "Where's the rice cooker and how do we plug it in?"
@skinnylatte
And I think, that is where the problems are coming from: I like rice but that doesn't mean that I cook it daily. So my thinking is like " there must be a way to cook it properly, because in the early days no-one had an electric rice cooker. And I don't have space for another machine I only use once a week". So my 'recipe' for all without s cooker: proper whashing. 1 cup rice, 2 cups water, cook until water is soaked up, put in bed for 30 min

@makeratschool @kinsale42 @mayintoronto the rice cooker pots for microwaves are pretty good. I’ve learned how to cook rice in all methods and styles now, but coming from a culture where rice is breakfast lunch dinner and supper, without rice cookers people would be spending a lot more time and energy on this task
@skinnylatte I personally go through much more noodles than rice. I could live without a rice cooker.
All the noodles. 
@skinnylatte
I had to smile a little bit while reading 'breakfast lunch dinner and supper'.

@skinnylatte @makeratschool @kinsale42 @mayintoronto 
you get an efficient concept and make it even more efficient? What kind of wichcraft is this?
@makeratschool @skinnylatte @kinsale42 @mayintoronto I have both a dishwasher and a washing machine, and I somehow found room for them, even though we had neither in our apartment when I grew up.
