Rice cookers are the dogs bollocks. Also air fryers, breadmakers, slow-cookers and soupmakers.

@fkamiah17 I steam my veg in my rice cooker, as my rice cooks🤤🤤🤤 And we practically live out our slow cooker in the winter. I fucken love cooking gadgets!

And above all, in the garden, the leaf blowers.

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@Chtixof Nope. Leaves should be left exactly where they are in the garden. Next step down that road is plastic grass 😡

krypt3ia,

@fkamiah17 I now have three crockpots of varying size and just bought a rice cooker. Next, bread maker.

@krypt3ia You won't look back, or ever buy shop bread again 👍

@fkamiah17 I didn't get a rice cooker for so long, because it was a single use item, and now I use it several times a week, I can cook a whole meal in it!

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@RickiTarr And the rice is perfect every single time! Not that I need any help with being lazy 😂

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@fkamiah17 Right, and it keeps warm, no stress

@RickiTarr @fkamiah17
But wait! What else do you cook in it? I am guessing you are steaming things?

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@diverdutch @RickiTarr I do porridge in mine, if I forget to put it in the slow-cooker overnight. I only just found out that you can steam veg in it, which I'll definitely be doing from now on!

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@diverdutch @fkamiah17 Yes, here is actually some recipes for different things you can do from the website of the brand I own, but if you search Rice Cooker Recipes, there's a whole world of very clever recipes.

@RickiTarr @diverdutch Oooh, thanks! I was totally unaware of this. Bookmarked 😘

@RickiTarr And you don't have to keep stirring it every five seconds to make sure it doesn't stick.

What’s wrong with rice being cooked in the microwave 😳🤷

Serious question. I have a microwave and it cooks brilliant rice 🤔

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@TCMuffin @fkamiah17 There's nothing wrong with it at all, but if you cook a decent amount of rice it's really nice, plus relatively inexpensive compared with a lot of kitchen gadgets. I cooked rice in the microwave for years myself. There's actually an interesting website that teaches college students and people without kitchens how to make whole meals in rice cookers, people even make cakes!

TCMuffin,
@TCMuffin@toot.wales avatar

@RickiTarr @fkamiah17

Cakes!!!

Fair enough 👍

It was a genuine question as I'm trying to avoid kitchen clutter...says the pseud who bought a passetout to make perfect pomme purée!

Oh and the ubiquitous air-fryer zealots drive me mad, so I just wanted to check your credentials 😁

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@TCMuffin @RickiTarr Roast potatoes in 20 minutes, Jayne, that's all I'm saying.
Yours sincerely
Not a zealot

@fkamiah17 @RickiTarr

OMD!!!

20 minutes 🫢

@TCMuffin @RickiTarr I wouldn't want to speculate on which is better than any other model. My one does what I bought it for and more (you can also do cakes in air fryers!) and I picked it at random.

@fkamiah17 @RickiTarr

Neither of us has a sweet tooth, so the cakes are less beguiling...I don't even like chocolate 🙄

However, roasties in 20 minutes rather than...

...par boil
...steam dry
...shake in a colander = crispy
...roast in lava hot oil for 1 hour

What's not to love 😁

@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@TCMuffin @RickiTarr And there you have it - the only sales pitch necessary to make any British person by an air fryer 😂

@RickiTarr I just found a website about rice cooker cooking, thanks to your comment. I'd never thought to do anything other than rice in ours (although it does do the rice beautifully).

A whole new culinary genre opens up!!

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@StephanieJane It's nice in the summer when you want a hot meal, but not heat up the whole kitchen.

StephanieJane,
@StephanieJane@veganism.social avatar

@RickiTarr It works!!! Of course, you already knew that, but I'm so pleased with today's meal 😍 And cooking three portions only cost about 10p in electricity which is an unexpected economic bonus.
Looking forward to creating lots more rice cooker delights. Thank you so much for the tip 💚

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@StephanieJane I'm excited!!

RolloTreadway,
@RolloTreadway@beige.party avatar

@fkamiah17 Oh yes, very much so. I like to use my rice cooker to steam veg (as well as the usual function).

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@RolloTreadway Oooh, I've never tried that! I've got a bamboo steamer but I hardly ever drag it out of the cupboard. I've got these tube things for cooking veg - chuck it in, fill with boiling water and 5 mins later - hey presto! They even have little colander things on the top. Best tenner I've spent lately 👍
