I used to never wash my rice, but did notice the rice sludge in the rice cooker so figured, why not, let's wash it, and no more sludge, go figure. I even bought one of those two piece rice washing bowls from amazon which makes it so much easier. I'm a rice washing convert. Also, rice cookers are the greatest invention since sliced bread.
Here are my findings for both, which are interesting, if you're counting calories and on a diet:
Cooking for consistency, initial consistency of rice cooked in Instant Pot is better, but yields much less rice, Rice Cooker yields almost 25% more rice per oz of dry rice.
1280 calories for 2 cups of uncooked white rice + 4 cups of water. Rice Cooker White Rice recipe yields 48oz of white rice .
1280 calories for 2 cups of uncooked white rice + 2.25 cups of water. IP White Rice recipe yields 32oz of white rice.
Now, of course I used less water in the IP than I did in the rice cooker, but it's the consistency of the rice I was testing.
I've also found if I cook a big batch in the rice cooker, and it's gloopy, I freeze it in individual sized meal weights of 8 oz, and when it defrosts, I can break it up in the plastic bag with my fingers, put it in the microwave for 3 minutes at 50% and it's perfect.
the weight doesn't change all that much post freeze, and the ease of having readily available frozen rice i can leave in the fridge to thaw overnight for the next days meal, beats having to use (and clean) the rice cooker or ip each time. it works for me, and feels like i'm cheating in how simple it is. one rice cook sets me up for a couple weeks of meals that i use rice with.
looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )...
"a cool machine" does not fit Trump's manufactured fantasy of representing "the republican everyman against the elites", you see. His low information electorate doesn't know what a gaming pc is, and wouldn't trust anyone who has one, just because they are dirt dumb and like it that way.
the fact this nice woman wasn't immediately terminated by the postal service for "getting involved, missing assigned work, and opening the service up to possible litigation" is the miracle here
