sigh, here comes my depression again. sabotaging everything I've done over the last year.

I either need a lightning bolt of sheer luck to recharge my life, or get my affairs in order, because I cannot keep living this cycle for another 20 years.

The kitchen aid pasta rollers keep going on sale. But How often will Tp4 put in that kind of effort?

NE1 daily drive the pasta rollers?

No, I seldom eat pasta because of carbohydrates ....
And I much prefer rice or potatoes, but, that said, home made pasta is Excellent!
I have always had good luck with Kitchenaide gear (although most of mine is years or decades old).

I used to have a pasta maker and bread maker, and used both multiple times a week. It will totally get you off store-bought carbs because the quality of fresh is 1000x better.
Man, I was fat though. I lost like 30lbs in 6 months after giving them away to a friend.

I don't know how people don't like pasta it's so good, plus it pairs so well with sauces cause of how nice the texture of pasta is. Rice is also great as well, and in complete meals it's also amazing as well.

I've never actually tried homemade pasta except for this sweet potato gnocchi that was delicious might have to make it at home (not sure how good I would be at it though)

Brocolli = King fibre.

It's more than about having the most fibre, it has to be palatable.

Tp4 would also argue, whole-wheat isn't necessary if you get lots of fruits/veggies every meal.

Interviewed today for a position that is 10PM to 7AM
The guy was trying to sell me on the freedom of those hours, how the job comes with a paid hour lunch and full access to the cafe, but I'm sitting there like 'Everything will be closed at 2AM for lunch, and the cafe closes at 5'

In the Winter, at best, I'll be getting just about an hour of sunlight a day if I sit next to the window of the bus on my ride home. The last guy who had the position just died from a heart attack, which is why they were looking to fill.

It's just red flags everywhere, and here I am just wanting to make enough to afford both food and rent. Life is unyielding and cruel.

WTH??

A study of 4,800 adults aged 40-80 years old, external, led by the University of Tor Vergata in Rome, and presented at the European Congress on Obesity, looked at an alternative - measuring body fat percentage.

Just 38% of the men and 41% of the women had a BMI above 30 - but when their body fat percentage was calculated using scans, 71% and 64% were found to be obese.

So the real-obesity rate is ~60-70% of the adult population in developed countries?

Italian medical is, considered top notch, so it's unlikely they messed this up.

Not that one might would buy a Japanese rice cooker /radiation.

Rice cooker has been a god send for me, just so much more convenient and the rice tastes great. I heard that zojirushi brand is really good but I just have a cheap one.

Did you watch the videos phinix? It's a pretty cool technology.

Tp4 is iffy on made-in-japan for radiological reasons. Buhhh Korea brand Cuchen has a 2.1 Atmosphere (30 PSI) pressure induction model. That's pretty cool. ALTHOUGH from research, cooking with so much pressure might not be ideal for the rice, but having the function makes it versatile.

Then there's Cuckoo, also Korea, also make pressure induction models, seems pretty gud', but notably replacement parts/ repair is problematic, same with Cuchen. They don't have the durability down yet.

IDEALLY, we'd want the high-end Chinese cookers to come to the western market. No radio-contamination, and probably at least 30% cheaper..

What am I missing out on using a pot to cook my rice? Rince, 2 cups water, 1 cup rice, add salt, bring to simmer, cover for 15 min, off heat for 5 minutes, fluff and serve. What would a rice cooker change if I already enjoy the texture of my rice?

fohat.digs · « **Reply #30379 on:** Thu, 16 May 2024, 09:19:29 »

For decades I have been using a steamer like this one, and I get great rice, although perhaps not usually sticky enough for sushi.

tp4tissue · « **Reply #30380 on:** Thu, 16 May 2024, 09:27:01 »

This one on amazon actually looks not bad, it's $130 on sale right now, has all around heater coils including top.

Midea is a chinese brand, so no fvkvsh1ma rd1a7ion. You nowha. Tp4 will buy this, and do teardown.

The main thing I like about mine is having access to warm rice all day. You can make some in the morning, and if you are puttering around the house all day, it keeps it moist and fluffy so you don't need to reheat. Also, just generally more automatic. Because it has internal sensors, I just fill it and walk away until I hear it play Greensleeves. No stirring, no lids, no drips, no overboil.

2:1 ratio for rice is just wrong, idk where this lie perpetuated from. WAY too much water with a 2:1
I will concede maybe a ricemaker locks in more moisture, but I did a lot of experimenting before settling on a 1.25:1 ratio, and cannot imaging 3/4 cup is evaporating away every time

Stove top, it's 2:1, alot of water boil off.

For rice cookers, it's 1:1 to 1.3:1

There's no correct amount, you add a bit more or less depending on texture preference, cooking time, evaporation, humidity, type of rice, moisture lvl of rice (age/condition of rice).

Cool, so tp, help me with this one - this is sushi rice - cooked in those proportions, rinse like 15 times till water is not misty anymore, then keep it for 20 minutes in cold water, then bring to boil under lid, low simmering for 15 minutes, then gas off, keep under lid for next 15 minutes, then take out. Basically those steps are taken from the rice box instructions.
Rice comes always so freaking sticky that it very hard to spread over nori. It pisses me off, tried different cooking timings, diff amount of water etc
I know obviously sushi rice is supposed to be sticky, but when I wtch people on YT doing sushi, it is not that bad. I even tried different rice brands.
I use wet hands to spread, but they would need to be seriously wet to avoid rice to stick, which is bad as I then transfer water to nori, that gets soggy and everything goes to bin...

Sometimes I think I should just get a rice cooker...

When washing rice, you want to use cold/room temp water, and only gently swirl them, do not grind them in your hands, which will lead to more grains cracking. Soak for at least 1 hour, overnight if you can wait till next day. Do not use warm water.

Are you using the cold vinegar+sugar spread to toss the rice after you get it out of the pot? That should make it easier to work with.

Getting the right rice is important. For Sushi. Tp4 recommends 50% of a (cal rose) variety, and 50% (sweet rice).

Do not buy on amazon at these ridiculous prices, Look for asian grocery stores, they got rice like this for much cheaper. For example, 50% of something like this, Sekka and 50% this, Sanpatong

Rice cooker will make this a bit easier, as long as you get a neuro fuzzy logic model.

You do not need japan radiation $3-500 rice cooker. Tp4 can't in good conscience recommend them due to radiological concerns, but there is no denying they are very good rice cookers.

Zojirushi has models that are made in China, and they're cheaper.
