cannot believe people actually buy rice makers when regular rice itself is stupidly easy to make

[bezosbaldhead-deactivated202007]

no, white nonsense is people paying over $50 for an appliance that can only do one (1) task

[aletheius]

rice cooker doesn't just make rice; it can make extra thicc pancakes too.

[bezosbaldhead-deactivated202007]

ok I understand rice cookers even less now!!

[milfsagainstroadhead-deactivate]

You can steam veggies too

[fenris-calls]

Grew up in half Japanese household. Have rice maker.

Dated Korean girl. Had rice maker.

Care to explain how this is a white thing?

[magdids]

Its a yank thing

[uncle-beanbag]

Man sure is nice to have a versitile cooking component to do soft omlets, steamed vegetables, unleavened breads, sauces and of course rice in.

Wait it's a white thing now even though it came from Japan and most Asian households own one because it's convienant?

So I don't want to get into that. It's kinda narrow visioned to think something can only do one thing. But the history of the development of the rice cooker is super interesting and marked by many many failures. It also is about science, invention and trial and error.

The gist of it is in 1937 the Imperial Japanese Army had the first electric rice cooker which was really just a box with a heating coil under it. It worked but was not great. In 1945 Mitsubishi made the first commercial rice cooker but again it was as pot with a heating coil and required constant monitoring or the rice would burn. There had to be a better way.

In 1956 Yoshitada Minami working with Toshiba made the first true set and forget rice cooker. It required hundreds of hours of experementation in all weather to work it out. His wife was pivitol in the development. At first he had the idea to do a bimetal thermostat switch meaning that as the water boiled off and was absorbed the temp in the pot rose and when it hit a certain point a piece of temp sensitive metal would bend away just enough cutting the flow of power. However the metal was very suceptable to hot and cold weather. The solution was to encase it in it's own pot shield and thus the true rice cooker was born. Now you could simply add water and rice, turn it on and when it was done cooking it'd turn itself off.

That lead to a massive development boost in automated cooking technology in both the commercial and private sector for a million different applications.

Back to the practical application of a rice cooker though. It may sound like it only does one thing but it's an electric pot that won't go above a certain temp. You can make pizza, bread, pasta, cake, soup, yogurt, potatoes and cook fish and meat dishes too.

Now, that's all I got to say about em.

[drdrunkpigeon-phd]

bruh just use a pot of hot water

[such-justice-wow]

But that can boil over because it doesn't regulate its own temperature

The one I have turns off when the rice is cooked and switches to a warming mode so you can focus on the main meal

You can also make egg fried rice in it

[alaija]

“... white nonsense ....”

Whut.

“... appliance that can only do one (1) task “

If only there was a group of people who typically did that task everyday.

[artbomb-reblog]

I went to a school that was over 50% Asian students and almost every dorm had a rice maker wtf r u on about op

[lanzhanlanzhan]

The sheer ridiculousness of this entire post to me is the fact that no one has yet pointed out why Asians even have rice cookers.

Cooking rice is not "stupidly easy". Yes, it is doable, but it's not that easy for something that has to be done consistently everyday. For the record, cooking rice on the stove involve boiling cleaned rice on high heat, then covering the pot and lowering the heat to low until the rice is done. And just because the water has dried up doesn't mean the rice is done—you cook it with steam a bit more, which I'm sure most if not all cultures in Asia has a term for. There are also things you should not do if you don't know what you're doing: do not open the pot, do not release the steam, do not mix the rice, etc.

This is why a rice cooker is one of the first appliance purchases for Asian households. It's cheap and it frees you up to cook the rest of your meal without having to watch the rice. It's not about multiple functions. It has ONE function, but it's a pretty important function for a culture that requires something done right everyday.

[whetstonefires]

yeah cooking rice on the stove is a skill that even once you're good at it remains an active task the whole time you're doing it. i CAN do it but i'm sure as hell not going to when i could push a button and forget about it for 20 minutes and have it come out way softer than a pot without a pressure seal could hope for

[marithlizard]

This is such a weird take that I’m kind of wondering if OP closed their eyes in a department store, turned around in a circle, and pointed randomly to determine what they were going to mock as “white nonsense” today. 

(Rice cookers are  great.) 

[rp-meme-glaceon]

Send “📂“ for a random yet completely useless headcanon I have

[avfwdrugec]

Gentle reminder that the human eye is naturally drawn by noise and movement, so the next time you walk into a crowd or a bit late into a lecture or something like that, they’re not staring at you or judging; it’s just an instinctive reaction that has nothing to do with you doing anything wrong.

[amymaymusings]

This really helps my anxiety.

[hinohde-deactivated20180613]

oh.

[systlin]

It’s literally a threat assessment/food gathering instinct. The steps your brain is doing, subconsciously. 

-Check to see if movement is lion in grass.

-Also check to see if possible game animal and edible. 

-No it’s just Dave getting into lecture hall a few minutes late. 

-That’s boring. 

-Lose interest.
