You're assuming that pretty much everyone has a pot. I'm not sure how that's a more legitimate assumption than that people who cook rice have a rice cooker.

Because if you cook, which is an assumption we are also making, you need a vessel to cook in, AKA a pot or pan. We are also assuming that this person can at least boil water and has access to a source. You can also make rice in a pan, if needed, if said cooking person doesn't own a pot.

Rice cookers were only widely available on the market beginning in the late 40s/early 50s. It's a convenience, and some people are against them because they were taught to use a pot. They're hardly ingrained in our national consciousness (unless you live in Asia). Not everyone eats rice frequently enough to need a cooker. Not everyone can spare the space for an appliance (with admittedly multiple uses).

Because a rice cooker is mostly used to cook rice, whereas you can make basically anything in a pot. My kitchen is populated entirely by borrowed or thrift store utensils, I literally own three plates, and I still have two pots, because I need to make pasta and soup and other dishes in order to have food to eat. However, I have never considered getting a rice cooker, because a.) space in my apartment is so incredibly limited that I would have to store it on the floor of my bedroom and b.) any money I have is either spent on things that are necessary for my continued existence (groceries, rent) or things that will actively bring me joy (candy, alcohol). A rice cooker falls into neither category, so I'm not getting one.

Do we have to relive other memes' wank here?

If someone cooks anything ever, they likely have some kind of pot. Pots are used to make a great many things. They are versatile and common pieces of kitchen equipment. Rice cookers are near-ubiquitous in some areas and for some cultures and not so much for others.

Now you're just trying to play the devil's advocate. If a person is in the position where they can cook for themselves on a daily basis, they own a pot. You can buy a pot for a dollar if need be (a shitty pot! but a pot nonetheless). Pots are versatile and be used to cook almost anything. Rice cookers are not. They have one function, and that's all, and are not cost effective when you're on a tight budget if rice is not the main staple of your diet.

Hey! You can use rice cookers to boil eggs and do several rice-based meals and steamed veggies too!

Re: Fandom Venting

Soft boiled or hard boiled?

Re: Fandom Venting

I don't know; I just made them and put them into egg salad sandwiches when I worked at a coffee shop.

Re: Fandom Venting

Both. It just takes practice. Hard? Just put the egg in with the rice. Soft? Work on timing.
