My new rice cooker

[robgmun]

They fry the rice in a frying pan for roughly 5 minutes, constantly stirring. Add boiling water and close the pot with a pressure cooker, never needing to stir after that, never needing to think about it again for 20 minutes. After 20 min, rinse again with boiling water and serve.

That my friend, is how we do it in South America. We add salt and oil as well for flavour. Also if you want you can add a stock cube, nom nom nom

This is the one I'm thinking of getting

Zojirushi are supposed to be one of the best

Still though, £150+ for a rice cooker seems a bit OTT for me
I think the budget I had in mind was about £100ish

Well that seems like a fantastic waste of money to me personally. Same with that damn toast and egg thing that you lot seems to love on this forum.

The boil in the bag stuff lidle sell is awe3some.

No fancy flavours or quick cooking or anything. just the normal rice but i na perforated plastic bag that goes in the pan for 15 mins just like normal.


Tastes so nice, goes nice and fluffy and awesomely sticky.

tempted to try getting a muslin/gauss bag or something and trying normal rice i nit to see if that works as well.

Yeah , it's expensive for what is still essentially a pot that cooks rice,it's more of a luxury as there's cheaper models out there but the zojirushi models with the fuzzy logic get rave reviews, personally I don't mind paying a bit extra for quality

"Fuzzy Logic" rice cooker?

So where does the Fuzzy Logic come into play then?

I don't mind paying for quality, but the issue with the Zojirushi is that they are about half price in both USA and Asia compared to what you'd pay for them here in UK

In temperature, and timing and so on controls basically making it make perfect rice every time

Do you guys know a good quality Brand of rice to use, or is any type good enough? Reason i ask is that Tesco value rice seems to come out as mush when you boil it.

I paid <£20 for my rice cooker. Cooks it in <20mins and keeps it perfect afterwards. Stick in rice, stick in water flick switch cooks it to perfection. It's better if you leave it a while after inital cooking but it's perfectly ok if you eat it as soon as it flicks to warming mode.

Can use it to steam corn on the cob as well. Tastes so good steamed.

Use basmati rice.

 

[camels5]

The box says multi cooker, what else does it cook? I'm kind off interested in buying one but at that price it would need to do more than cook rice!

I think Im going to get one.

I love rice, and once ive lost all my excess bodyfat I shall be making muscle and then cutting, so one of these could be quite handy long term.

I always use basmati or wholegrain but tbh it sounds as though you are overcooking the rice
