    That’s not even a rice cooker, it’s a pressure cooker. While it can be used to cook rice, that’s not its primary purpose and many, including me, would argue that the conventional electric rice cookers do a better job (at least for short grain rice, see the reply to this comment). Pressure cooker rice tend to come out either mushy or too chewy, and texture is pretty important for rice. Most Asian households have both a regular rice cooker and a pressure cooker, especially since then you can conveniently cook two separate things at once, like rice and stew, and have your entire meal figured out both on the cheap and without that much time or effort. It’s great.

    Pressure cookers are really good at making congee (rice porridge) though! The conventional cooker takes way longer to simmer, on the order of several hours compared to just one hour in the pressure cooker, and because pressure cookers keep all the water inside, you don’t have to worry about it drying out or remembering to add water as it cooks all day.

          I wouldn’t describe it that way, but I know what you mean, yeah. On one of my Reddit accounts I kept getting those awards, so I started a Patreon account in hopes of channeling that wasted money to me instead of Reddit. It didn’t work; I only got one or two patrons.

    I’ve been on Reddit (via teddit) some the last few days looking for information on some music production software. Sad, it still has some solid info for hobbies and the like, but most of that site is clown central.

      Same here, r/mechanicalpencils is good. A lot of hobbyist subreddits are amazing, as is r/privatelife that I created, one of the only non grifty privacy related subreddits. Privacy subreddits in general are a mix of white anarchy and Western propaganda.

        A lot of social media (Reddit included) is literally ran by the US security state now (or they are heavily involved anyways), no way they don’t spread misinformation on those privacy subs.

        RE: hobbyist subs, I think they are so valuable on Reddit because capitalism has destroyed my trust in most reviews on websites. Many of them are fake and created by the sellers of the products! Amazon in particular feels overrun with fake reviews now. These subs are where you can see what people ACTUALLY recommend.

          I created r/privatelife to help privacy community break free of the obvious state actor involvement. And I also know that those agencies know a bit about me, because Reddit admins really try to not be aggressive against me, even though they do end up like that sometimes. They gave me a final warning when I called out a Russophobe. Since then, I have minimal activity there, just my subreddit maintenance and guides.
