      This is true. But it's a pain in the butt as you need to hover over it to make sure the heat shuts off at the right moment and you can't leave it sitting there for an hour afterwards, as it'll go cold. And if you try to keep heat on it to keep it warm, it'll probably dry out or burn.

      It's easy to burn rice that way though. I prefer to just steam it since I don't have to worry about burning the rice and I get to save on electricity by laying off the rice cooker. Gas is cheaper anyway. Sometimes I get to even save on that by steaming something else on top of the rice when it's already semi-cooked.
      And yupe. This means I ain't some pansy ass induction stove user either. /smirk/

Für dunkle Brote und Vollkornbrote, die meist mit Roggenmehl und geschrotetem Korn gebacken werden, braucht man auf jeden Fall Sauerteig. Den kann man selbst machen oder aber in ner Tüte kaufen.

    I felt this so much being from Seattle and of Hawaiian ancestry, and now living in France for the last 6 years. When I moved here I hated the little rice bags and wanted to find a proper bag, finally I found where the Chinese/Vietnamese district was, and it took some convincing but my french husband finally relented to letting me buy a rice cooker. Because I also found the boiling and straining like pasta to be tragic as well not to mention it's not the right texture and if you want to make sweet sticky rice for dessert, it will burn and stick to a pan. Love this joke and I bet my sister who is half Filipino will find it hilarious as well. ❤❤

    For the single folks here, they have rice cooking lunch boxes now. It come with a mid section to steam stuffs like eggs and corn. Like instead of boiled eggs, you steam instead, you can stew foods in there. Instead of stewing, you can reheat the leftovers. It takes a little space and you can take it to work or travels to save on eating out. It's healthier too since you cook enough to eat and have no leftover so you won't be eating leftover the next day.

      David Renton that’s probably an age thing. Older folks are in general more set in their ways, regardless of race. I’d also disagree that westerners are more open to different foods than Asians. Western food is very simple and is difficult to dislike, while some asian food may have strong flavors and spices which westerners who aren’t accustomed to it may not be able to handle. I think asian people have definitely eaten more burgers than westerners have eaten noodle soups.
      Of course, if you are a westerner who has lived in Asia, you are already more adventurous than average. But there are probably still some things you’d hesitate to eat. I can’t imagine vice versa, an asian in the west hesitating over any food served there.

      @@davidrenton as much as I want to agree...
      I'll try my best to put it simply. I'd say a lot of people are very conservative regarding cultural stuff, and food is no exception. Hersha did say in a BBC interview that the type of rice she used (which needed to be strained after cooking) wasn't the type normally used in egg fried rice, yet she stayed professional and followed the instructions anyway.
      Western cuisine are probably like that as well, just maybe we don't hear much of it. For example, if an Italian grandma saw someone non-italian cooking risotto the wrong way, she'd be irritated, wouldn't she?
      (I'm sorry if the "italian" example sounded racist, but that was the only think I could think of. If any of you have more accurate examples, you can share them, but please, be nice)

      @@daulahiftitah6461 I remember (I used to live in E Asia) and my friend a 30 year old White guy from Louisiana used to be able to make Chinese food that all the native Chinese people thought was great even beyond what they could make.
      Now me I would burn rice, plus the water with it :).
      There is a difference in growing up with food as opposed to acquiring it, no one makes bland Irish boiled food like my Mother :).
      Then again I don't think you need an Indian to make Indian food, that all food is learnable and my ex Chinese GF makes a great fry up.
