A rice cooker takes like 20-30m, who's sleeping while they make rice?....

Some rice cooker has a built in schedular. You can program it to cook at certain time.

So is the rice soaking in water overnight?

You might want to sit down for this.

There are rice cookers that can weight the rice then add water themselves. You put the rice in and set the time, it will add water automatically when it's time to cook.

No, just water.

I'm in the market for a new rice cooker, and I never knew this existed, thanks

[–] AngryCommieKender 5 points 2 years ago

Zojirushi "the elephant brand", is a quite popular brand that has all sorts of functionality

Yo, you should look into Induction Rice Cooker, got one last month and it was a life changing for me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Soaking rice is often recommended! Even overnight. I’m too lazy for that but I soak mine for 30-60 min before cooking.

Why are you waiting the rice cooker to finish? it's usually automatically changed to warmer mode after the cooking is done.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (3 children)

And let it burn to the bottom? Nah, as soon as I hear that click I'm Usain Bolt on my way to unplug that thing

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Umm..... maybe get a better one that doesn't burn the bottom?

After decade of using the same $30 rice cooker, last month I grabbed an Induction Rice Cooker that's on sale for $119 (down from $199). It was LIFE CHANGING! Can't believe how awesome it is. It can cook rice, soup, porridge, steam, reheat, even bake cake. And it do ALL of that PERFECTLY without ever burning a thing.

This reads like an ad.

I know it's not one, but if it has mentioned a brand I'd be skeptical

[–] AngryCommieKender 5 points 2 years ago

You're missing out on that good Tahdig.

My cheap rice cooker burns it if I wait for the click. I set a timer on my watch for 12.5 minutes and haul-ass back to the kitchen to unplug it.

Maybe my rice cooker isn't expensive enough. It's a mid range one that does a pretty good job, but if I leave it on warm for a long while after finishing the rice turns to shit. I buy more expensive/good rice and don't like it getting ruined.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's what happens to all the rice I cook too, but it takes a few hours.

Uncle Roger approves

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

My rice cooker can hold stuff on warm for literally days...

A good Tiger/Cuckoo/Zojirushi should be able to do that no problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

We have a zojirushi rice cooker and it never burns our rice.

Seems like a waste of energy.
