@Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social avatar

I've seen it, too. When I want fluffy individual grains, I rinse the rice first. If I want sticky rice, I don't rinse it. And it works for all different kinds of rice.

There's going to be powdered starch on the outside of the grains of rice. If you rinsed it and then added something like corn starch to the water you'd end up with sticky rice.

HP's inkjets have always been cantankerous, but the business printers they made in the late 90s were tanks.

I don’t think you know what I’m talking about. With sealed burners there is no way for anything to get under them. They’re totally water tight, and there’s no way to lift them up to get underneath them.

A common tactic for startups is to offer "unlimited days off" knowing that people won't take days off.

Best part for them is that because you don't have specific days to take off they don't have to pay you for them when you quit.

There’s going to be latent heat with any burner, even induction. But resistive electric is the absolute worst.

And then it’s getting cold while I wait for the burner to cool down. Oh, and now the burner is a burn hazard, and whatever boiled over is searing itself to the burners.

I don’t need MHz switching. A few kHz would be better than just turning it on for 1 second out of 10 for “low power.”

I read a bunch of reviews from reputable sites and bought what they said was the best. Apparently they couldn’t even spring for an Arduino because the pulse widths are seconds long.

It’s so weird because I’ve hated every electric stove I used and loved every gas one.

One big reason is that when a gas burner is off it is no longer producing any heat. The number of times I’ve had a boil over or burned food because the heat doesn’t just turn off immediately makes me hate electric. And that’s just one reason.

Glass tops definitely easier to clean than non-sealed burners, but I always end up with charred rings over the burners that have been polished into the glass and will never come out.

With sealed gas burners I just pour some boiling water on the cooktop, wait for it to cool, mop it up with a towel, and scrub the nasty stuff off with a scrubber.

Inductions are crazy easy to clean, though.
