One option is to stick a dollop of silicone or something similar into
the piezo AWD. It makes all bleeping rather quieter, which is fine if
you dont need as much volume when cooking's done.

There are other ways of course, but a blob is something everyone can
do. If they stay away from the 2kV area.

I wouldnt be passing comment on it if I hadnt tried it. No stirring
is required when using a pan, theres very little overboiling risk, and
the rice is always evenly cooked. So I'll stick to that.

Me, sometimes. Rice can be cooked like pasta, in lots of water and then
drained. This method is particularly good when you want unsticky rice, I
use it regularly with basmati.

Who are you to contradict the almighty "tickle me elmo"? He has said
that he knows the only correct way to cook rice. All true believers must
follow exactly the scripture of rice cooking by "tickle me elmo"!

How dare you deviate from the scripture of the cooking of rice by the
almighty "tickle me, elmo".

There are a lot of ways to cook rice that don't include a microwave or a
stove top. Who cares? Other than Elmo, I mean.

Brains are actually sort of grey. But you don't stir them while cooking either.

Brushed lightly with various savory spices, wasn't it?

It needed to be said. But he's incapable to make with the learning.

Just for the sheer hell of it, here's a nice rice recipe:

Couple of glugs of good olive pil in the bottom of a heavy pot.
1 small shallot and two cloves garlic, fine dice
1 cup rice
Heat on med-high and stir until shallot is translucent and rice begins
to brown
Add 2 cups water and turn heat to high
Add 1 TBS turmeric
Cover pot and bring to boil; when boiling turn heat to low and set
timer for 15 mins.
Do not remove cover until timer goes off
When timer goes off add 1 cup frozen green peas and a knob of butter
Set timer for 5 more minutes
When time goes off, fluff with fork and serve. Deeelicious alone, or
with shredded roast chicken, fat golden raisins, and toasted slivered
almonds added.

I'm the guy who told you to go back and read the thread after you
started making stuff up, and you never went back and re-read the
thread. Remember? Maybe you should practice what you preach and go
back and read the thread.

And then you started coming on to me. You're barking up the wrong

I've heard that rice cookers are very good, but I've already got a
