Rice cookers are the fkn coolest things ever. I finally caved and bought one, and it did improve pretty much everything I make immediately. Doesn’t take that long ( maybe like 40 mins?), and it takes to seconds to add rice + water and hit a button, so its easy to do before you prepare everything else.
Rice cookers also use some pretty cool physics to know when to stop heating. What other kitchen appliance uses both latent heat of vaporisation and Curie (loss-of-magnetization) temperatures! The latter is a quantum effect BTW, rice cookers (at least the analog “dumb” ones) use quantum mechanics! Well I guess the digital ones do too, since semiconductors are also quantum.
I wouldn’t do that actually. Hot tap water isn’t considered safe to drink even if the cold water is, or at least there’s a pretty big risk that it’s not and you wouldn’t know for sure. Definitely get cold water and boil it manually (or go full Asian and get a hot water dispenser lol).
Huh, interesting. My place was built in the 2000s so I don’t think there’s too many risks, I’d have to read the Lee study to find out how much newer pipes can corrode from hot water.

Lentils and quinoa do great in there too.

What an I going on about? https://yewtu.be/watch?v=RSTNhvDGbYI
I’m gonna blow your world bro, put hot water from the tap in the cooker and it gets done even faster.
