Did I miss it or did no one say Rice Cooker yet? A good rice cooker makes rice texture so much better while simplifying the whole process.
Someone gifted me a Le Creuset rice cooker. I use it at least once but often twice a week. At $200+ it's truly something I never would have bought myself.
Oh my partner's been trying to convince me to accept one because I make so much stovetop rice, but don't want a digital rice cooker with plastic and circuits and all that.
How does it do?
It's great! It only makes 4-6 servings of rice at a time but I prefer that because it means there's less leftovers
A pot is IMO sufficient for single use cooking (maybe once every 1-2 weeks of cooking) if you are not a primary rice household.
I mean I eat rice more days than I don't and I use a pot. 15 minutes + mostly unattended, while I'm prepping some protein or whatever.
My problem is the cleaning after with starchy stuff.
Especially sticky rice variants are annoying to clean (read: throw in the dishwasher)
With a rigid bamboo pot scraper (and, yes, a little soaking if really stuck on there), I've found it's actually not worth the bother of the dishwasher when it's so easy to do by hand.
But I'm into a real rice rythme these days lol
Is that just a small piece of bamboo that you cut or something transformed. I can't seem to find much information searching for bamboo pot scra
I just bought mine at a retail outlet. Here's an old and unused one for comparison. This is after a couple years' use.
Oh I found it online: https://www.bambuhome.com/products/pot-scrapers-set-of-4
