Need Asian help - school this honky on rice cookers

[killramos]

I bought a black and decker rice cooker at crappy tire for 12 dollars 5 or 6 years ago.

Works great.

I'll do a few rounds of well-washed rice and see if that helps. I'm not new at making rice or using this rice cooker, but every little bit helps. Maybe I had a bag with more "dust" in it than normal?

I'm also 100% sure I'm not buying a $200 appliance. Maybe if I ate rice every day, but holy hell.

Along with a good machine, the brand/rice you buy matters as well. My parents stock pile rice when it goes on sale so every now and then I visit Calgary and grab supplies, I had ran out and grabbed some T & T branded rice and def could tell the different in quality. I still dont know which best brand to buy

If you're at T&T try Ox brand, they always have it in stock. I find it cooks much better than the T and T brand

Doesn't matter, they all have bad batches.

My usual go to is Golden Pheonix.


Next up is Ox Head.

Last choice would be T&T.

And the reason you want to wash rice thoroughly if it is sourced from Asia:

back then, rice needed a rinse to remove this talc. Most white rice grown in the U.S. is no longer milled that way, but some imported rices have been processed with talc, powdered glucose, or rice powder (all safe to eat, but still).

Mind=blown at how over complicated ya’ll are making this. Smh lol

Let me put it this way, you have a toaster right? What don't you just hang them over the stove?

I had 2 of these. Always the burned crap at the bottom. Folks had one too, same thing. Got tired of it and bought a Zojirushi and have never looked back. Great rice every time and never burned even after leaving it on warm for a couple hours. Cooks brown and white rice perfectly.
