I lost my faith in humanity when I found out there are people out there who don't know how to cook rice.

Unless they live in a wheat climate.
-
I look it up every time if it’s been a while since I last cooked it.
I promise I’m not stupid, but with rice you can screw it up with just a minor error in ratios or time.
-
Well, there you go...
-
Is it acceptable to bring excess water (6 cups sorta) to boil, add rice and then just drain out the water when cooked. Or 1:2 rice water?
-
And the directions are on the package. 🤯
-
You just have to take it one grain at a time.
-
After everything that’s what made you lose faith in humanity???
-
I can cook rice, but rice porridge is just easier for me😅
-
Bro. I am one of them. I can cook jasmine rice fine. But white rice, never works. It also tastes like shit so I’m okay with it.
-
🤣 🤣 🤣
-
my wife specializes in burning it :) I still like it though I like burned food
-
Work smarter not harder, 90 second packs in the microwave 🤌🏽
-
Or boil water! What happens if a baby is about to be born!?😱🤣
-
Still remember a class mate who at the age of 18 didn’t know that spaghettis are hard before you boil them (and no there was no fancy fresh pasta on the supermarket shelves in the 1980s).
-
It needs to be COOKED?!?
-
I cannot cook at all and have no desire too, but I can make rice.
-
Cajuns have a saying for everything.
Cook some rice.
-
wait until people learn that Persians have brought the art of rice cookery to the next level. Chicken Biryani done right is just astoundingly flavorful. most cultures have rice and they all cook it a little (or a lot) differently.
-
Well Actually, there are many, many different ways to cook rice. but yes go ahead I’m just being a semantic PITA. I was a chef, the number of times I have been to someones house and the don’t have a sharp knife is ridiculous. you don’t need a $800 300mm Sushi knife, and please don’t get a Ginsu.
-
And he ones that do continue to argue over whether to rinse or not
-
No need for a rice cooker. A pan with a decently fitting lid works just as well, and, as a bonus, can be used to cook all sorts of other things as well.
-
I once found my father trying to heat a can of beans on the stove - without having opened the can. Whaaa?
-
What confuses me are all the people who think cooking rice is difficult. The only steps are boil, simmer and DO NOT TOUCH.
I'm not gate keeping rice cookers. Those are good too.
(Had leftover chicken & rice for dinner.)
-
Some people don’t cook rice period. I’d say they’re really missing out.
-
With a rice cooker 😉
-
Look. I can make rice using multiple techniques. I make flawless eggs in many formats. I have sourdough starter that I’ve nursed for five years through moves. Most importantly, I taught middle school English. They gave me hope and I found joy in
-
Growing up in the low country of South Carolina you learn to cook sticky rice before kindergarten. It’s a law. I sure of it. Perlo is a staple in my house. ❤️
-
Can I just say, I did not know until recently ( I am 70) that to cook Jasmine Rice and Basmati rice the water ratio is different for them. I wish Recipe Tin Eats had been around when I first learnt to cook.
-
Ikr?
-
-
Rice needs a lot of water to grow (the traditional way) and even more water to rinse.
Since I learned the nutritious aspect of brown rice is marginal at best, I'm getting close to returning to parboiled.
-
Easy. Five minutes in the microwave and done. 😁
-
Cook mine in a microwave
-
hehehe reminds me of the memoirs of the WRENS assigned to Bletchley Park - a lot of them were aristoDaughters who embarrassed themselves when tasked with tasks like "boil kettle, make tea"
-
Soak for 15hrs like dry beans?
-
Why? I could say them same about people who don't know how to bake bread.
-
-
😅🤣😂 Seriously What is wrong with people
-
I am amazed folks bought rice cookers!!! Do you have a stove? A pot? You can make rice!!!!
-
Better raw and crunchy.
-
I've met people who don't know how to tell when water is boiling.
-
I have eaten said rice & my soul died a little.
-
Ya. Here you go: In a deep pot add 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups (scalable) of water. Bring to a boil covered and remove from heat. Let it stand for 15 minutes, uncover, fluff and let it stand for another couple of minutes. Bang Zoom perfect rice every time. Sticky rice may be a bit different. Anyone?

I could tell the story about the first time I tried to cook "sticky rice" - high gluten local variety. It is soaked a few hours and then steamed.
-
On the plus side, almost everyone knows how to burn water 🤓
-
You must live in a constant state of disappointment. 😉
-
You just put it in the rice cooker and hit the button. Are there people who can't do this?
-
I agree that was really disappointing. 😔 OTP vp
-
The secret to rice is to add water as you go as to not cause it to become sticky and gummy..... Make sure to pick up one or two grains on a spoon to test for tenderness then strain and rinse again once done!!!! Voila
If you let all the water boil out, it's gonna be mushy. You want fluffy!!!
-
I'm the one who never remembers how to boil an egg or cook rice. I always have to look it up. I'm Canadian, so I'll just say I'm sorry!
-
Most packages ACTUALLY HAVE DIRECTIONS on them !!
-
I get by lol
-
I’ve been to culinary school, but I’m awful at making rice.
-
There are people out there that don’t know how to pump their own gas.
-
Three minutes in the microwave.
-
There are also people who don't know how to make toast. Toast! Everyone needs to realize cooking for loved ones everyday is a huge labor of love. I have cooked 3 times a day for 20 plus years for a family of 4. Many, many, many days, I cannot summon the strength. But I do, out of love!
-
😂😂😂
-
that easy? lol u must be suicidal
-
I’m sad to say: I am one of those. No matter WHAT I’ve tried, nothing has worked. Even in a rice cooker. I rinse in cool water. I use the correct water:rice ratio (2:1). I cover and leave it be. I’ve tried long grain, short grain, jasmine. Same result: ALWAYS soggy. Never once fluffy. I’ve given up.
-
Alright, who snitched on me?
-
Had a whole fight about this because someone wanted to buy instant rice for our facility because it was easier, I’m like how much easier can rice get? Then, I experienced a rice cooker and found out.
-
So easy! Half a cup of white rice, three litres of water, boil for one to two hours. Add a bar of chocolate if you want brown rice instead in the last half hour.
-
Or people who don’t wash their rice.
It’s like not washing your ass.
-
For me it was buying a bag of raw almonds.
may contain almonds the warning section read.
😔
-
-
Fair
-
My rice cooker is my favorite kitchen tool hands down. LOVE my rice cooker. Throw in rice, throw in water, go away for a while.
-
My roommate tortures the poor little grains first. It's unbearable.
-
I'm learning, getting pretty good.
-
I honestly didn't until my super chill, non judgmental Thai co-worker showed me. 😅
-
Why eat filler?
-
The irony is that people who know how to do it on the stove usually own a rice cooker
-
You tear a vent at the top of the pouch and microwave for 60 seconds.
-
-
Some people think that toast goes into a toaster...
-
Don't be mean. Give humanity another chance. God knows we need it.
-
For me it was finding out that there are real live adult humans who think chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
-
I lost mine when more than one person revealed they thought rice was made out of wheat. “What’s it made of then?” Its made of rice. Which is a plant. Called rice.
-
I know a man who doesn't know how to boil water or fry an egg. There's a reason nobody ever married him.
-
Put rice and water in rice cooker and turn it on.
Easy.
-
That’s what rice cookers are for!!
-
There's cooking acceptable rice, then there's cooking perfect tahdig. I can do the first 😁
-
Mine is only perfect about 50% of the time. The other 50%, either gritty or mush. I have zero patience and can't resist lifting the lid to peek.
-
C'mon now, give me more credit than that.....
-
What kind of rice are we talking about? Rice and peas, arroz con pollo, arroz con gandules, yellow rice, Mexican red rice. All I can do is make white rice, whereas my wife can make Mexican rice better than most restaurants, and nobody made better arroz con gandules than my Mom.
-
My GF has a tiny rice cooker that she loves but it doesn't make enough rice.
I said why not just make it in a larger pot and she said:
"With this I just have put the rice and water in it and it cooks itself and in 20mins it's done!"
-
There are people out there who don't know how to cook anything. And without microwave instructions on the package would starve.
-
Some of us discovered potatoes and couldn’t care less about soggy swollen grass seed, regardless of who boils it.
-
or have purchase a rice cooker
-
The 2:1 ratio is not right. It actually is 1.5:1
-
Just stick the bag in boiling water.
Easy easy.
😁
-
Put it in the rice cooker, press cook
-
whilst I cooks a fine Rice,..I still blew $20 on a Rice Cooker, because, I like mine with just a hint of that scorchy brown layer on bottom,..and keeping it warm is priceless. I am a member of the "Got'sa Wok" club.
-
If it cannot be microwaved or toasted i would be lost.
-
Must have been a shocker.
-
My mom gifted me a rice cooker and it changed my life tbqh
-
Just today I had to listen to a much older woman state that she has never boiled an egg or baked a potato, and didn't know how.
It still hurts.
-
PERFECT RICE, using rice with a 2-to-1 water-to-rice ratio and 20 minutes cooking time.
-Add salt to water if desired. -Bring water to a FULL boil. -Reduce burner to lowest setting. -Add rice; cover. -Cook 20 minutes.
Stickiness is controlled by adjusting amount of water and cooking time.
[==*==]
-
I have messed up doing so after getting the new-fangled fancy induction stove.
Before then it worked just fine.
-
you rinse it. rinse it again. cover it in the right amount of water, then press the cook button on the zojurishi.
right?
-
When it's so easy 🤪🤪
-
i was one of them! but i left home early and had to learn and relearn all kinds of things
faith restored! i now know
-
If you saw what my Fathers cooked rice looked like you would probably hit full misanthropy.
-
Americans without a specific ethnic background aren't taught how to do things like that (not making excuses, I swear)
-
I was raised in an oat-forward household, and I will never apologize for this.
-
I’ve seen people fuck up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Not much surprises me anymore.
-
My husband , for one.
-
You don't know how lucky you are. I won't tell you when I lost mine...
Steam cooking is the way to go, btw.
-
My method? Fuck it up then your Korean-American daughter-in-law takes over. 💓
-
I am the Queen of Rice.
-
Im looking for an easy recipe for spaghetti, just the noodles.
But I make great chili and superb meatloaf. Im also the family turkey guy at holidays. Just no spaghetti.
-
-
I guess I could but I can’t think of a reason why I would.
-
I can’t cook rice on the stove. I’ve always used a rice cooker. Please don’t give up on me.
-
Rice is one of the most simple things to cook.
-
I buy microwave rice because if i'm going through the hassle of cleaning a pot it's not for hundreds of tiny things with a horrible texture.
