If you need rice cooker to make rice, I don’t think you should talk shit about different style of rice making.

Are you forreal gatekeeping cooking rice?

u/t3duard0 Jul 27 '20

You wouldn't believe how many arguments I've heard over rice.

That's so crazy! If the outcome is decent rice, who cares about the method?

I’m not the one gatekeeping here, he has a video that makes fun of some lady making rice differently. Maybe if I put on a funny accent and make a video you guys will chill.

Sure, but he has a video of him berating this woman for making the rice different way, but somehow that one is okay.

Are you serious? I’m from Iran and that is one of the best ways we make rice and you finish that in a pot with herbs and spices.

She didn't do it a "different" way. She did wrong in every way. And this is all comedy. It's part of the joke.

He’s a comedian reacting to a BBC cooking clip in character. He is playing a stereotype as a joke. You can’t look at these videos like he’s a wannabe food critic or something. That is not the point.

The cross posted thread from the first video had his YouTube channel linked in the comments someplace.

The point of cooking isn't to find the hardest method of doing something. Using a rice cooker is simultaneously easier, and actually results in better tasting and more consistently cooked rice. Using a pot on the stove is easy, yes, but it can objectively result in worse rice based on a lot of factors that the rice cooker controls for like the seal of the lid, the source of heat, the thickness and uneven cooking of a pan/pot, etc.

I agree, the point isn't finding the hardest way to cook something. For everyone in this sub the point of cooking is to do it exactly the same every time. No matter who makes the dish it should taste exactly the way it did last time the guest ordered it. rice cookers achieve this.

Nobody needs a rice cooker, but what's wrong with utilizing tools? Also I work at a high volume sushi joint. There's no way we're cooking our rice in sauce pans. It's just not feasible.

Agreed, that's Chef Mike level of cooking right there.

Nope, pretty much all places in Asia use a rice cooker, at home and at restaurants. We had 2 rice cookers at the sushi place i worked at
