    What i dont get is how sushi and white rice is nearly identical.

    My machine at home also does this. There is a minor difference in height indication but so narrow you can get the water to the top of one line and the bottom if the other line.

    I ordered a cake for my birthday that said Happy 29th. I’m 40, they didn’t even check my ID or anything.

        that is probably making your clothes age out faster than they need to (and takes longer and uses more power/water).

        I wash clothes when the hamper is full, about once every two weeks. Everything together (except whites) longest wash, hot water.

        Whatever comes out the other side goes back in the closet for the next round.

        People make a big deal about buying clothes, washing clothes, folding clothes, organizing closets, matching clothes, shoes, belts, accessories, brands, who wears what when, blah, blah, blah.

        Weather and society permitting, I wouldn’t even wear clothes. Fuck clothes.

          Same but I wash the blacks on their own so they don’t get fizzes from the colors. My blacks are black and my whites are white.

        I use the bulky setting for sheets, blankets, and towels (probably similar to towel setting) not because it washes differently, it doesn’t, but because it has different thresholds to consider the load balanced during spin, and spins it to different speeds. I want my washer to last, so I use it properly with big heavy stuff.

        I also use the sanitary setting when I wash underpants and post-bidet towels, but that’s because it superheats the water. Everything else gets washed on tap cold, regular cycle.

    Most of the brown rice you buy in grocery stores today is actually parboiled. Parboiled rice cooks with less water and in about the same amount of time as white rice. If you want real, genuine brown rice, you have to read the directions on the back. If it cooks in less than 30 minutes or 35 minutes, it’s not really brown rice. It’s parboiled. If the ratio of water to rice is less than two to one, then it’s also parboiled.

    Lol.

    Going through a Red Light (after a complete stop) at 3am in a desolate area when you are the only car on the road.

    Also depends on the type of Brown Rice. We have one now, that cooks the same as white, but I bought one before that had a super thick hard casing and even after an hour of boiling it was still crunchy

      I’ve been in this exact 3am situation. Good thing I didn’t have time to actually make it into the intersection, because I would have absolutely been destroyed by the semi that came out of fucking nowhere going 20 mph over the limit.

        Thus why I said after a full stop. Nobody should be blasting through a red. I roll down the windows, because you can hear cars coming when you are out in the middle of nowhere.

    Looks like a neuro fuzzy. That thing will make decent rice even if you try to screw it up. Brown rice does take substantially longer to cook properly - your rice maker is likely figuring that out and picking up the slack.

    Rice cookers use a thermocouple to detect when all the water has been absorbed, not a timer. That’s why it doesn’t really matter that much which setting you use.

    That looks like a higher end zujirushi rice cooker which is probably why it came oot fine even with the wrong setting.

      I need a better ricecooker.

      I just have an Aroma one, and while it does a fantastic job of cooking white and brown rice, its a PITA to clean up to the point I hate even having rice now.

        I have an aroma one and cleaning is so easy rice is all I want to eat now, I wonder why the disparity. Do you know something I don’t?

          maybe you have a different model.

          Mines a pain in the ass to clean because the removable parts arent dishwasher safe (the untreated whatever the fuck metal the two removable pieces are made of oxidizes like crazy if you do put it in there, and then everything it touches turns black until you take steel wool and spend 20 minutes scrubbing off all the oxide… a mistake you only make once), and theres an absolute metric fuckton of crevasses and niches on the base that have to be cleaned with toothpicks and chopsticks wrapped in paper towel.

          It does a fantastic job cooking rice. The tedium of cleaning it is just extreme and not something i need in my life.

          i dont want more features. I dont a fancy name brand. I dont want any gizmos or gadgets. I just want a rice cooker that makes good rice, and isnt a misery to clean. -

    You don’t need a fancy slow cooker, you can use an oven to slow cook multiple things at once, or really big things. Oven-slow-cooked turkey is great (if you like turkey, anyway).

        I’ve never had anything in the slow cooker end up crispy anyway, since there’s a lid that keeps the heat and thus steam in, so thats a non-problem.
