My 8 year old Aroma $20 rice cooker broke

[obscure/renegade]

Rice comes out perfect when using a rice cooker. I have a 6 cup Cuckoo Rice cooker and absolutely love it! Price is around $200 or so and believe it's a Korean brand.

Pretty happy with my Cuckoo.

If you don’t have rice sitting on keep warm 24 hours a day what are you even doing with your life?

I’ve been waiting for an appropriate place to ask this.

Let’s say I want to make rice and leave it available…. How long can a pot of rice (in a keep warm) stay good for?

When do you toss it and make a new pot?

I never know how much rice to make because I don’t want to throw away.

I only toss it when the rice dries out, if it gets to that point.

I’ve seriously had my cooker say more than 72 hours and still had good rice in it.

I eat hot rice for breakfast every morning.

No shit. So how much rice do you usually make at a time?

Also, be honest. Do you wash the rice first?

I need a new one too .... someone used a fork or something to fluff the rice but scratched the shit out of the pan inside instead 🙃

You don't?

You don't?

Sometimes. Lol.

I think my scoop is 1 cup dry, I usually cook 3 cups at a time.

I rinse it, how many times depends on the bag. I don’t typically make the water run clear because I like having a little extra starch in the mix.

Also I only really use Jasmin rice

I buy Nishiki premium medium grain rice and have no idea what kind of rice it is

 

[XR250rdr]

Even a fancy ass Zojirushi?

EDIT: Found the 5.5 cup for $30 cheaper somewhere else. So ordered it instead.

Mine does.

Looks like it depends on the model line . NS-ZCC10 and 18 both have the same minimum of 1 cup.

I have the induction heating model and the 5.5 cup goes down to a half cup where the 10 cup has a minimum of 1 cup.

If I have some leftover curry I'll usually just make a half cup of rice since I won't usually eat quite a whole cup by myself.

Well okay.. I wash all my white rice but not all.

Also I was using a cheap $30 Amazon rice cooker.. is there a benefit to getting one for different rice types? It always cooked my rice no matter the type great.

Damn, I should stop eating oatmeal and a banana for breakfast and start eating rice with eggs like an Asian before the gym every day

This sounds delicious.

Husband hates spam and every time I try to get him to eat musubi in Hawaii he sticks by that hatred. I've literally never made it myself because of it.

I just use a bowl and the knuckle method

It's rice, don't need a machine

At home I eat rice and crispy chicken thigh skin for breakfast, use the meat later for chicken quesadillas

Last time I was at Chipotle, two people in a row were just there to get sides of rice. I think it was $1.50 or something for a bowl. I had never seen this before. Probably cheaper than an Uncle Ben’s packet and someone did the work for you. Anyone seen this sorcery before?

you'd be surprised the amount of people that never bothered to learn how to cook

I dated a girl who didn't know how to make spaghetti. like she didn't know it was just boiling water. she didn't know what a colander was. corporate people who have work feed them every meal SMH
