IDK about different settings on the cooker having an effect (mine is super simple and has only two settings: on and off) but if I tried making brown rice with the ssme ratio of water as white, I would end up with uncooked rice.
They turn off when they get above 100C, when all the water is absorbed/evaporated.
Not sure what your point is here, but as per the other replies to the one you replied to that just doesn't work well for all different kinds of rice. So my completely uninformed thoughts right now are that brown rice needs a longer time with hot water to get to the point we consider cooked. The way a rice cooker works, if they all do like you've said, makes the water evaporate too quickly so it it doesn't get enough time to get into the core of the rice kernels of some kinds. And I'm sure it's too much for other kinds where you end up with overcooked, too sticky or even like porridge like, rice.
I use the same ratio, 1:1, but for brown rice I start it with boiled water.
This is what I was thinking. Like I need at least 20% more water for brown rice.
Haven't sorted laundry in like 20 years at least. If I get a brand new pair of jeans or something like that I'll separate it for a load or two but that's it.
Modern dyes and detergents fixed this. It was a problem decades ago.
Idk. I have still had problems with white shirts going pink or baby blue. Everything else doesn't matter.
It does still happen but the problem is much better
brand new pair of jeans or something like that I'll separate it for a load or two
Maybe grow some cojones instead?
I just blow my load in my jeans, if you let it build up then it has the same effect as starch. Keeps them nice and crisp.
Ok, time for me to go outside.
I kind of like my "new" blue towels.
I have that same rice cooker. Zojirushi. It’s pretty solid, so I’d bet whatever fancy crap it uses to tell if it’s properly cooked probably helped the way his stuff turned out
Yeah, that Zojirushi has enough computers in it to adjust to most user mistakes. And anyone spending the money on one would know that.
You know it's a premium rice cooker when the alarm sound is a music jingle. My microwave wishes it were that sophisticated.
Had to replace the microwave recently after the last one crapped out. This new one also has a jingle. Why does every machine need a jingle now? The dryer has a jingle. It’s not even that fancy.
Zojirushi makes decent stuff - at least the couple items I have from them have been working well for the time I’ve had them.
All any rice cooker does is simmer the water till it has all evaporated. They don't have a different setting for white or brown rice. Brown rice needs more water to cook. The picture is just a lie.
Aome rice cookers absolutely have separate settings for different types of rice. Whether they do anything or are just placebo,I can't tell you, but the option exists.
Unpopular opinion: the microwave popcorn button.
Let me introduce you to Technology Connections report on the matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Limpr1L8Pss
I thought I was the only one who'd watch this guy!
You're not alone! I'll gladly listen to him explain the refrigeration cycle again and again and again and how everything is just a worse heart pump.
I'm in the process of buying a new house. So I was looking at one last week, and the smoke detector just kept chirping.
And I was just about to say "Did you know there's actually two types of these?"
And just as I was about to say that, I got sad in realizing that I'd then be obligated to elaborate, and now I'm spending 45 minutes talking about a topic that neither of us wants being discussed right now.
But it was in my head at that moment.
Yep. Just you, somehow having subscribed to his channel over 3 million times and watching all his videos millions of times over.
I'm surprised you have any time left to be on Lemmy.
Can I please get a tldw? I love the idea of technology connections. But who has the time?
It works well, so long as the size is right.
How big should the button be?
About yea big.
Folding clothes. After realizing that I've spent years grabbing clothes out of the hamper and no one seemed to notice, I decided to buy a fancy wood hamper that looks like a dresser and put my clothes in it right after they come out the dryer.
Next step in the evolution is taking them directly from the dryer and throwing them on a freshly cleaned spot of the bedroom floor; bypass the closet and drawer system entirely. You don't leave the house anyway. No one knows that your wrinkled shirt at 7:30am was wrinkled by your first meeting at 9:00am.
The shelf life is the way to live
Every microwave I've ever had has lots of buttons for all sorts of things, but I have no idea what they do. All I've ever done is put stuff in and run it at full blast.
My friend usually cooked stuff in the microwave at lower power with longer times and had better results but I just dont care enough
I got a new fancy inverter microwave, and it's an absolute game changer, for reheating.
Running a traditional microwave, lower power modes are literally just lower duty cycles. Very coarse, too.
30% power is something like "turn on high power for 3 seconds, turn off power for 7 seconds, repeat"
Which means your good gets blasted at 1200w for 3 seconds, and then is given time to rest for 7 seconds, before starting over again.
This is bad for things like fats and oils in food, which tends to heat up REALLY fast, and start splattering/burning the parts of the food they're in.
It works but could be better, smoother.
Enter the inverter microwave. It can adjust the actual power output of the magnetron itself. So when you tell it 30% power, it will run the whole 10 seconds without cycling on and off, but it's literally only putting out 30% of the normal full power.
This is much more gentle on delicate foods.
Caveat, at powers below 30% it starts to duty cycle again, I imagine because the magnetron can only operate so low before it can't run normally.
But still, pulsing a 30% powered magnetron on and off is a lot more gentle than a 100% powered one.
This has made reheating leftovers much better.
Instead of blasting it at full power, then stirring/mixing the food, and blasting it again.
I just set it at 10 or 20%, take a quick shower, and come out to perfectly evenly reheated food. Takes 10 or 20 minutes instead of 5, but, way less work, and much better results. Win win.
Double time, half power.
Never cared for what they say 🎵
