The Wall Street Journal found itself on the defensive this week after a social media post about younger Americans and grocery spending drew millions of views,
I have a rice cooker and they’re kinda overrated. Do I use it? Yes, but you can always boil water and make rice that way, or even microwaving rice with water can cook it.
Also rotisserie chicken lasts a long time when you break it apart, shred it and freeze it for future recipes. I love to make this Southwest Chicken Skillet from Budget Bytes. Its so filling and the family loves it, I add in sour cream and stir it in at the end.
oh I disagree. boiling water in a pot and you have to watch it but the rice cooke is set it and forget it. Rice cooker is the most often used gadget for us followed by the slow cooker.
Boil, rice in, lid on, low heat for 18 minutes, off for 8 minutes, lid off, fluff with fork. No watching. If you burn some, lower your “low”. If you’re getting crazy and making some basmati or rosematta you just look up how much time your new strain of rice needs. If you have an always-too-hot electric stove I’m sorry I lied; I’ve been there, and I would probably buy a rice cooker too.
Yeah it never works out that way for me for whatever reason although we do currently have electric this was with gas too. Rice cooker is load it and turn on. 30 minutes later hot meal. Always, every time, no further intevention and if you forget it and don’t come back for 45mins its in stay warm mode and is fine.
the rice is the meal. all the cooking is in the cooker. as I said in another one you don’t need to time it as it automatically goes into keep warm so you can be 10 or 20 minutes late.
Personally, I like to buy crates of Bibigo rice bowls from CostCo. You just toss them into the microwave for a minute and thirty seconds, vio’la, you got carbs to go with whatever you pair it with.
yeah its one of the cheapest foods out there. are they splurging on rice and rice cookers too?

Best thing in my house and the only appliance coming with on the move. I adore my lil rice cooker more than life itself.

Yeah, but if you’re cooking a meal it’s pretty trivial to time your stove rice properly.

I’m filipino, a simple rice maker is a staple in my household. We even have rice dispensers
Budget Bytes is incredible. I have a bunch of recipes from there that I make on the regular
I also make broth with the rotisserie scraps.
