Rice > Clinton

That'll have to be some damn good bread straight from the oven in order to compete with the rice.

I'm still hungry after eating bread unless I eat something along with it.

>>565404
I think you've failed to comprehend mathematical symbols, boy.

Don't you mean Pasta = Noodles.

Seriously they're made the same way.

Close

Noodles > Pasta(excluding lasagna)
Bread > Rice

>>565480
conchiglie would like to have a word with you

I eat a few slices of bread after I've had a rice meal.

>>565480

Lasagna isn't pasta, you heathen!

Rice > Bread
Noodles ~ Pasta

Honestly ricecookers are the most useless cooking equipment ever unless you cook lange amount rice on daily bases.

>>565653

Like the entire nation of japan?

Pasta = Noodles
Bread > Rice

It all depends on what you're eating... gb2/ck/

>>565678
You mean the entire East Asian area?

>>565690
you mean East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia

>>565690
And yet next to no people in that are use ricecookers. I understand, if a restaurant for an example uses one (they rarely do, because one can make better rice with out it), but having a ricecooker at home is useless.

>>565740

I have a rice cooker

Noodles > Pasta
Bread (depending on type) > Rice.

>>565740
You could not be more fucking wrong. Try and find somebody who isn't above 70 who doesn't use a rice cooker for their family or themselves. My family has been using one all my life, and my family friends have been using one all their lives, and everybody who eats rice on a regular basis and isn't poor as shit uses one.

Noodles ⊂ Pasta

Now thems fightin' symbols!

>>565757
First of all, most of the people who eat rice on daily bases can't simply afford one. Secondly, it's pretty much useless equipment in the first place. I mean, all you have to do is to put some salt in and water in your kettle and let it boil. Even a idiot can do that without a ricecooker. Lastly, when it comes to cooking rice you have to understand that there are various different brand of rice and each one of them has to be cooked in slightly different ways and usually the dish that you're making requires a especially prepared rice. That is not what ricecooker can do, in precise manner. And that is why better restaurants don't simply use ricecookers.

Only tards who don't know how to properly prepare food, need a rice cooker. Its like an easy bake oven for cooking rookies.

>>565836

When I was going all over South East Asia even the very poor tend to have a rice cooker. I don't think they really care about the nuances of rice considering 95% of these places just cooked regular white rice.

>>565836
No way man, the rice cooker has a timer. You try to do that with a pot on the stove.

>>565836
>Konitschiwa !M1dHRBRH0E

>>565851
I don't know where the hell you visited, but most of the asia or south asia doesn't eat white rice. Nor most of the people own a ricecooker. I'm not saying that some people have it though.

>>565847

Except that most people that use ricecookers don't use it because they can't cook any other way. It's because it becomes a major pain cooking 2-3 pots worth of rice every single day, 365 days a year.

>>565836
Jesus christ you can't just assume these things. Everybody has a fucking rice cooker. Everybody cooks white rice the same way. Rice cookers are convenient and require less cleaning. Where do you get your stupid bullshit from?

>>565836
I think you're missing the point that the rice cooker simplifies the process by having a timer. It helps parents a lot faget.

>>565874
Maybe not the poorer countries but the vast, VAST majority of people from China, Korea, and Japan use rice cookers.

>>565874
>doesn't eat white rice

lol wut

>>565874
Malaysia and southern India would like a word with you.

>>565904
This is the correct answer. Hell, it's not just Asia, either. In South America, if they can afford it, everyone and their sister has a rice cooker.

>>565892
If every body in asia ate white rice, 70% of all population would starve to death. White rice tends to be a luxury for wealthy people, you know.

>>565893
Ever heard of this thing called clock? It's very effective when it comes to measuring time.

You can be asleep and have fresh warm rice for you and your family when you wake up.

You can go to work, work overtime, drag your sad lump of a body home after some crazy commute and have fresh, warm rice.

Rice cookers!

>>565904
That statement is horribly untrue. I mean, come on. If the vast majority of chinese people would have a ricecooker the whole asia would be drowned in pollution. If every Chinese would have a fridge the whole planet would be ruined as a result of all the waste caused by it.

If you stop measuring greenhouse gas emissions in per capita and just measure in total tons of CO2, then you realize that India and China are the biggest polluters on the face of the earth.

>If the vast majority of chinese people would have a ricecooker the whole asia would be drowned in pollution.
Instead of just the whole of China? I agree with what you're saying but I don't know if you would be able to tell the difference! The last time I was in Beijing was almost 3 years ago. I could hardly see a mile and I have heard it's really gotten worse in the last 2 years. Shanghai at least has ocean breezes helping to clear things out.

Chongqing is really nice, though.

>>566023
What the fuck man, blender and waffle iron are not worthless.

>>566048
I agree. I fucking love waffles. But if you had to, you could get by without them. Perhaps not a Waffle-Iron, but you could chop shit yourself just like you can boil rice without a rice cooker. However, they're called modern conveniences for a reason: they're convenient, and I'm just making the point that if this guy wants to call rice cookers "the most useless" on grounds that you could also boil the rice, then there's a whole host of appliances out there that fit the "useless" label much better.

>>565968
>>565973

ಠ_ಠmind

>>566061
I don't use a blender to chop shit, I use it to blend. How would I make smoothies or shakes without a blender? What about when I wanted to make some mayonnaise?

>>566061
Blenders are most definitely not useless. Unlike waffle irons and rice cookers which only serve one purpose, blenders can be used to prepare a lot of shit ranging from drinks to sauces.

>>566126

and drinks.

>>565874
>>but most of the asia or south asia doesn't eat white rice

Is this tripfag delusional or just plain stupid ???

>>566156
Or rather trolling.

>>566156
Nope, white rice is the name given to milled rice which has had its husk, bran, and germ removed. Most of the rice eaten in asia is brown rice due the poverty. You do realise that the majority of asian people live belong poverty line?

LET'S ARGUE WITH THE TROLL

>>565836
>First of all, most of the people who eat rice on daily bases can't simply afford one.

lol even CEOs in those countries eat rice on daily basis.

>>566218
Yeah, they do. And your point was?

>>566126
>rice cookers which only serve one purpose

You mean Modern rice cookers right? My grandma had one of those good ones (from the 80s) that you can attach multiple trays on top that works as a steamer, she'll cook 2-3 dishes along with the rice.

>>566235
So you are saying that they can't afford a ricecooker?

>>566247
Don't be retarded. CEOs and other people that can afford ricecooker arent exactly the majority in asia.

>>566254
Oh man dog you're really dumb fo' a white cracker aren't ya?

>>566254
Don't be retarded. The fact that most of asian who eats rice can't afford them doesn't make rice cooker a luxury item and useless.

It's like saying cars are useless because most people that needs transportation can't afford one.

This thread makes me retarded

>>566273
Those two are separate arguments.

>>566126
The rice cookers I've had are all advertised as Rice Cookers AND Vegetable Steamers.

The MOST useless cooking equipment ever has got to be the electric can-opener. Or electric corkscrews.

>>566282
Okay, maybe this is more useless.

>>566282
None of those cook anything

>>566294
But they're equipment related to cooking.

Why cook food, even?
It's the same in the end.

>>566339

rocks are the most useful cooking utensil, everything else is useless

I have a rice cooker which cost me around 10 euros. I use it to cook nearly everything that can be steam-cooked. Freaking convenient.

I mean, you can even make bread in it.

>>566361

or cook pasta, or even make soup

partially-hikky university student here.

I'm going to get one of these so I dont have to go into the kitchen to cook. Can I get any other shit to go in my room to cook stuff without having to make social contact?

>>566365
Nothing that you can't do with a normal kettle, though.

>>566371

>>566371

HURR I HATE CONVENIENCE

rice cookers are nice for families, but individuals? you have to cook way too much rice for it to not burn. although I guess with the warming function you could cook a bunch and spread it out throughout the day.

>>566404

it's easy to cook rice for one person, you just don't use a lot of water.

>>566404
>I guess with the warming function you could cook a bunch and spread it out throughout the day.

I do that all the time. But my laziness level is way over 9000.

>>566370
for the past 2 years, i've managed with a microwave, rice cooker and a kettle.

jar sauces and pre-cooked chicken are your friend. also anything dried, and bags of prepared salad.

none of them set off smoke alarms either.

>>566390
Well, the point is that it is not convenience when it doesn't do anything that normal kettle won't. It's called laziness. If you can't pay the effort of turning the stove off and on, then you shouldn't be cooking at all.

>>566370
Corridor is annoying, greeting people in the morning especially sucks.

Fridge, toaster, water boiler, micro etc

EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT RICE COOKERS

rice cooker is like a toaster

sure you can cook toast under a grill, but why would you? you can just get a toaster.

toaster is like a glass

sure you can drink from the bottle/carton, but why would you? you can just get a glass

glass is like an adult prostitute

sure you could pay for sex with an adult, but why would you? just fuck a kid.

>>566424
>Well, the point is that it is not convenience when cars can't go anywhere that you can't go on foot. It's called laziness. If you can't pay the effort of walking to and fro, then you shouldn't be traveling at all.

Real men don't use wussy rice cookers! Real men cook Rice on the stove!

>>566438
So rice cookers are like adult prostitutes?

>>566441
do real men also toast their morning toast with a book of matches and a carton of lighter fluid?

>>566435
Nope, mainly because of lazy. Anyone can fix a decent meal for him/herself in 20- minutes with minimal costs and effort and if you're on your own there is enough to eat from it for several days. Everyone has time for that. No matter how busy you're.

>>566445
Ever worked before?

My breakfast is done in 2 mins from frozen.

>>566454
So you don't have the time for cooking, because you're working?

>>566371
you own a kettle?

come back when you learn to boil water like the big boys

in a saucepan

>>566444
Nah. Our glare is enough to make anything catch on fire.

Real men eat rice raw

>>566445
>in 20- minutes
I don't want to take 20 minute to make a meal.
And I don't want to eat the same thing twice in a row.

Yet I don't want to eat instant food day after day.

So I invested in a steam cooker. You just put a bunch ingredients, you press a button, wait a bit, and then you have it.

In the Fourth Dimension, the rice is already eaten.

Potatoes > all

>>566461

saucepan? you wuss

REAL men use their bare hands

Even /ck/ doesn't have such "serious" discussions.

real men eat wild boar for every meal

>>566458
When you have time to cook, you have time to sleep and recover and work again. Never lived in a city have you? Or even never been to university/college.

>>566471

real men eat in the wild

>>566464
And this is why I call you a lazy reard.

Anyhow, this thread now seems to filled with angry american defending their unheathly and lazy lifestyle. I'd say that at least half of the people in this thread don't even know how to cook rice without gadgets. As pitiful as it is.

>>566471
Real men strip the bacon off the live wild board with their bare hands! It's not sissy thin bacon either. It's THICK Bacon!

>>566491
Seriously defining you as weird is not good enough. Worst troll ever.

>>566491

No, just working smart by diverting energy where it matters most. Not fucking cooking rice with a kettle. Enjoy living with your parents forever.

>>566502
lol What's cooking rice with the kettle has to do with living with parents? Because it's such an impossible and time consuming task to do on your own that you need a special equipment for it? What the fuck is wrong with these people? Seriously.

>>566491
Why unhealthy? Steam-cooking doesn't make use of any fat and preserve way more vitamins in vegetables than other cooking technique. The after-effect is that flavours don't spread well between ingredients, and it's quite harder to make something refined.

Yes, I am bloody lazy, but having a tasty and healthy meal is something freaking important to me.

tl;dr I'm French.

>>566491
Fuck you, you lazy ass bastard. Back in the old days in Viet and still now, theycook rice on an open fucking fire, without your so called "convenient gas stove". So if you want to argue shit about lazy cooking, then go the fuck back to your 3rd world country and start cooking like a hick.

>>566530
University dorms without kitchens generally have limitations on cooking implements. No stoves, no Bunsen burners, no hotplates.
Rice cookers and microwaves on the other hand, are usually allowed.

It's not too retarded. If he is living in a dorm, without access to a working range or oven, I don't really see how conventional kitchen cooking is even an option. I used a rice cooker while in a dorm because the only "kitchen" was seven floors down and I would have to supply my own pots, wash them there on the spot and deal with other people who might be using that one kitchen at the same time. Almost always it was hogged by someone baking cookies or some other sweets, never actual food.

>>566361 10 euros
I'm really having trouble seeing the advantage of the kettle over a rice cooker in this case when the cost is essentially the same. That's like saying you shouldn't use a coffee maker because you could just use a drip filter and cook the water in a kettle.

I've never used a rice cooker but I really don't see a reason not to if you cook rice often.
