In response to "So, apparently....becuase there are billions of asian rice eaters, I should get a rice cooker, fine" by Will Hunting

I'm loving how threatened you all are by this very simple and extremely common appliance -- nm

Rejecting cooking rice in a pot = juvenile is not the same as expressing fear. -- nm - Stephen Jan 14, 16:42
If it takes longer to wash than the old fashioned way it's not an improvement. A pot takes a second to wash. - Bacon Jan 14, 16:41 1
- ? You are looking at the wrong kind of rice cooker. - musubi Jan 14, 16:53
Oh...you misunderstand. Threatened indicates fear. When the truest answer is bewildered by why something like this is thought to be more valueable - Will Hunting Jan 14, 16:39 24
- It was the "juvenile" that mystified me. -- nm - mara Jan 14, 16:50
- TO be fair, I'm sure most of us here do own an appliance whose sole purpose is to toast bread. do 3 billion - loosilu Jan 14, 16:40 22
  - Mine does bagels too, and POP TARTS! -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:42
  - But then, I don't have another appliance or kitchen element that would do 98% of the job of toasting bread. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 16:41 4
    - the oven does work. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:42
    - Exactly, the utility of a toaster hasn't be matched by hot water and a pot. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 16:42 2
      - but you can eat bread perfectly well without toasting it. you can't eat rice without cooking it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:44 1
        
        Gretchen, stop trying to make "toaster" happen. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 16:45
  - but what can your toaster do that my oven can't? -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 16:41 15
    - be thrown into a bathtub to electrocute someone -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:43 4
      - HEe -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 16:45
      - much like making toast, it'd just take a bit more work. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 16:44 2
        
        Hair dryers will work. -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:45 1
        
        you mean a shrink wrap gun? :)))) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:54
    - ever tried toasting bread in an oven? It takes a long time and a shitload of energy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:42 9
      - and your odds of burning it are high -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:43 7
        
        the rice cooker is to rice as the toaster is to toast. it's semi-automated, simple, and makes a predictably better product. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 16:45 6
        
        Yup. - musubi Jan 14, 16:55
        
        and takes much more time to clean. I will keep using the pot until someone invents that thing on Star Trek that makes food -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:47 4
        
        I always burn rice in a pot, so that's harder to clean. If I ate rice a lot, I would get a rice cooker. - loosilu Jan 14, 16:48 3
        
        and even so, since those ancient disasters, you have learned from Alton Brown how to cook rice :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:56 1
        
        I don't think I've made rice in a decade. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:59
        
        you people are making my points for me about energy, cleaning, and only buying only if you feel you need -- nm - zork Jan 14, 16:52
      - And the bread either gets burnt or dry and not toasted. -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:43
no one is threatened. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:38 7
- speak for yourself. i myself am rather taken aback and shaken up by the prospect of a cooker of rice. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 16:39 6
  - I'm a bit taken aback by Will's attempt to enslave 3 asians to cook his rice for him. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 16:58 5
    - Well, just in case the first one isn't a good cook. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 17:06 4
      - Plus, you'll want one to take pictures of the one who is a good cook. - TFox Jan 14, 17:08 3
        
        Human trafficking seems extreme lengths to go to for some rice, but I can't really that logic. - musubi Jan 14, 17:10 1
        
        Can't really *dispute* that logic, that is. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 17:11
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 17:08
