I don't know. Name one white person that burns rice. All the Asians that I know will burn rice but I can't think of a single haole that does. In the white universe, scorched rice is virtually unknown.

That's exactly the way I used to cook rice. My mom taught me that when I was a wee lad. I wish we had that old family rice pot. It had a extended rim to prevent splattering. Brilliant!

That's stupid, as well as racist. I prefer you don't insult all my
Chinese friends.

I cooked a cup and a half of rice tonight in a 3 qt cheapo Revereware
pot, as usual perfect, no scorching. I've no use for an auto rice
cooker... most of the world cooks rice in an ordinary pot. I don't
care for brown rice, I'm partial to Canilla rice, it's a Goya brand.
http://www.goya.com/english/product_...ice/Basic-Rice
I essentially used this recipe but with six pork chops instead of
chicken:
http://www.goya.com/english/recipes/...lo.html?list=1
These were those boneless loin 'chops', they were 3/4" thick, too
thick for this dish so I sliced all in half longitudinally. I trimmed
off the extra fat for the crows, seasoned and sauted them in olive
oil. Then used a bit of liquid to deglaze the pan and added it to the
rice liquid. Had my rice measured and seasoning added since early
this morning. While the rice was cooking I cleaned the large skillet,
so only the rice pot to deal with after dinner while washing the two
dishes and utensils. Clean up was over in less than five minutes and
I have dinner for two more nights. The rice was cooked with
previously cooked seasoned red beans and canned diced tomatoes from my
freezer... a packet of Goya Sazzon, black pepper, Penzeys adobo, bay
leaves, dehy bell pepper, a pinch of Accent, some dehy onions, garlic,
parsley, and oregano. A very satifying dinner.

All the Chinese restaurants I've been to cook white rice in a giant
wok.

What's insulting is someone saying that they don't ever scorch their rice when cooking. At best it's saying that Asians are incompetent at making rice, at worst, it's saying that scorched rice doesn't ever happen. This is arrogant as well as ignorant. I'm not insulting your Chinese friends - I'm poking fun at cultural ignorance. I'm not impressed that you have Chinese friends. So do I - you don't hear me bragging about it, do you?

Quit acting stupid. You know and I know that when somebody on this
newsgroup says they never heard/saw/did something, what they're really
saying that that something is a lie, does not exist, or is
inconsequential. That kind of arrogance is an attempt to reconcile the
fact that they're ignorant about this small cultural tidbit.

Civilized got nothing to do with it. I'm typing this using Thunderbird.
On my Chromebook or when I use a computer that's not my own, I have to
use Google Groups. What it comes down to is which computer I'm using at
the moment. I can post from any computer that has a web browser. If that
ain't civilized, I don't know what is.

It depends on the recipient. I don't care how anybody posts. My main
concern is the message, not the medium. In the end, all ya'alls is going
to be using Google Groups - you just don't know it yet.

I'm not bothered by the unformatted quoting caused by Google Groups
posts. I don't sweat the small stuff. I consider this to be the most
petty of problems. Beats the heck out of me how yoose guys can live day
to day if such things bother you.

I don't have a problem with that either. I fully stand by what I post.
That's been true since day one. I will continue to post from whatever
computer I choose and I will continue to expect to be held fully
responsible for my posts. Things go smoother that way - for me anyway.

What's insulting is someone saying that they don't ever scorch their rice
when cooking. At best it's saying that Asians are incompetent at making
rice, at worst, it's saying that scorched rice doesn't ever happen. This is
arrogant as well as ignorant. I'm not insulting your Chinese friends - I'm
poking fun at cultural ignorance. I'm not impressed that you have Chinese
friends. So do I - you don't hear me bragging about it, do you?

I like a rice cooker, but I usually cook it in the microwave these days, 2
parts water, 1 part rice, butter, salt. 15 minutes in the microwave
uncovered. Fluff with a fork and done. BTW years ago I did burn the rice on
the stove a time or two, and I'm Caucasian.

I'll keep your microwave method on tap. We have a small rice cooker but even that's getting to be too big. The microwave rice might be a good idea in the near feature. Thanks. Congrats on burning your rice. You are now an honorary Asian.

You must be lucky in the extreme. I used to scorch the rice all the time
before our family got an automatic rice cooker. My recommendation is you try
out your luck in Vegas.

Asian cultures will be quite familiar with this stuff. Perhaps white folks
are incapable of burning rice. That's OK, I can't make mashed potatoes so
I'd call it a fair trade.

Quit acting stupid. You know and I know that when somebody on this
newsgroup says they never heard/saw/did something, what they're really
saying that that something is a lie, does not exist, or is
inconsequential. That kind of arrogance is an attempt to reconcile the
fact that they're ignorant about this small cultural tidbit.

Me neither, as long as it doesn't look like a mess on my screen. Don't
you see your own GG messages run of your screen in Thunderbird? Or
pretend to reply to one in Thunderbird and see the mess.

What's insulting is someone saying that they don't ever scorch their rice
when cooking. At best it's saying that Asians are incompetent at making
rice, at worst, it's saying that scorched rice doesn't ever happen. This is
arrogant as well as ignorant. I'm not insulting your Chinese friends - I'm
poking fun at cultural ignorance. I'm not impressed that you have Chinese
friends. So do I - you don't hear me bragging about it, do you?

=======

I like a rice cooker, but I usually cook it in the microwave these days, 2
parts water, 1 part rice, butter, salt. 15 minutes in the microwave
uncovered. Fluff with a fork and done. BTW years ago I did burn the rice on
the stove a time or two, and I'm Caucasian.

I have never cooked rice in the Microwave! Something I will have to look

His lines run out off my screen and when I reply to his guesses, I

It has no formatting and the lines run off the right hand side of the

bother.

minutes.

No scorching, for one...
I set the MC, and leave it to cook. It stays nicely hot until the rest
of the meal is ready, and doesn't take up space on the hob/stovetop.

Convenience really - a small pyrex dish with lid for me - when done,
rice on plate, pyrex in dishwasher, doesn't come anymore simple than
that

It is not much of a problem for me. I use Thunderbird and all I have to
do is to click on Edit and Rewrap. I am more concerned about people who
constantly include 60 or more lines of quoted text including 6 or more
posts upthread and then just a line or two in response.

I cook rice in a pan and don't scorch or burn it. I make perfect
mashed potatoes without scorching them.

Who is insulted by my rice and potatoes?

There was enough whining when a couple of my posts appeared with the
Avast signature. I should be able to expect that a person posting 1%
fire and 99% smoke for years should have had time and encouragement to
change it.

Yes, but only the first line of the paragraph has a quote mark (>).
Not to mention the ocean of text that gets quoted because GG hides
that.

I'm not insulted - unless you're implying that my cooking skills are lacking. That would be insulting.

I've never been a fan of scorched rice but some people are because they'll sell that stuff in the Korean markets. The only question I got is "who are these people?"

Using your race to define yourself makes you the very worst kind of
racist.
