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

[–] yamdoot@lemm.ee 61 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

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.

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 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.

[–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

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

Uncle Roger approves

[–] zephyreks@lemmy.ca 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.

[–] Dax87@forum.stellarcastle.net 1 points 2 years ago

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

Seems like a waste of energy.
