I wash my rice
- signs you care in the kitchen, introduced this to a friend who was ashamed they'd never known.imbecile
- jiro says you have to so I've always done it... but I don't know why?ArchitectofFate
- Who the hell doesn't wash their rice??Akagiyama
- I don't wash rice and never thought it was something anyone ever did.CyBrainX
- I never gave it much thought until I started eating it daily. That first rinse is gnarly.BonSeff
- In terms of why? It gets rid of dirt and other impurities, also gets rid of starch so its fluffy. I boil mine like pasta for 15 mins, drain and let steam in potBonSeff
- for 10 mins, perfect and fluffy everytimeBonSeff
- Isn't rice-rinsing for regular eaters about getting rid of the arsenic?NonEntity
- ^ That's the logic my wife givesstoplying
- The washing rice doesn't get rid of the arsenic, the boiling like pasta and draining that water does.BonSeff
- You gotta wash it to get rid of some of the starch so it doesn't turn into sticky rice unless that's your goal.Beeswax
- Dude if you’re draining rice you’re doing it wrong. Use the right amount of water.monospaced
- Don't knock it til you try it mono. So satisfying draining that nasty water after boilingBonSeff
- That Hersha Patel style https://www.youtube.…imbecile
- That vid lolYakuZoku
- https://media.tenor.…pango
- I can't with you rice drainers ...pango
- Sorry, I can knock it. Washing rice is mandatory, but boiling and draining is incorrect. The water isn’t “nasty” either. You’re using way too much.monospaced
- Uncle Roger is right. “If your rice is too wet you fucked up.” Draining rice? Hiyaaaa...monospaced
- @mono - actually, the entiriety of India cooks rice using loads of water. I've gone back to doing it that way - I much prfer the result and it's less faff.Nairn
- I think I if I had an actual rice cooker it'd be more predictable, but I found that doing it the E.Asian way led to failure more often than I liked.Nairn
- I can't with you starchy, nasty water absorbersBonSeff
- Which is to say, you may prefer to do it one way. but it is not 'correct' or better, it's just a particular method that works for you and others.Nairn
- Never mind that they cook rice completely different in Spain and Italy too... are they wrong?Nairn
- Fiucking rice elitists! And holy fuck uncle roger is so punchableBonSeff
- Cooking rice like pasta reduces arsenic as it releases into the cooking water and drains off after cooking because arsenic is water soluble.BonSeff
- If you cook rice the traditional way with approximately a 2:1 ratio of water to rice, the arsenic stays in the rice.BonSeff
- The arsenic in rice thing is a LOT to do with variety and region grown in - I remember looking into it when kid first started eating food...Nairn
- ..and whilst it was hard to get har figures, the imopression I had was that basmati was a safer option. Also, you have to eat a LOT of rice, continually, and...Nairn
- ..without other foodstuffs that mediate absorption.Nairn
- But yeah, wash your rice, people :) Some people (eg. shapesalad) soak it overnight, but I can't see that resulting in a nice firm grain. I may be wrong.Nairn
- I am talking about long grain brown, i eat 1/3 cup dailyBonSeff
- my system is just part of my dinner routine. it works without fail. so, it stays. lolBonSeff
- A third of a cup daily isn't much by 'Asian standards' :)Nairn

- She was/ is fine as hell. He made a big mistake.NBQ00
- You’re only taking into considerations her physical appearance which is extremely narrow minded of you. He likely made no mistake.monospaced
- Based on his dating patterns he's very superficial. So I'm only judging from what I can see.NBQ00
- He look boring, she looks bored. Explain again the point on all of this. Please.OBBTKN
- There is zero point to following this. Ignore it, live your life.jagara

I would like you to see these things a little less negatively, and I don't mean the idealistic horseshit.sted - just you seem a bit out of place among these new tools. but you have already experienced such a change if I guess correctly.sted

I automatically hit Ctrl+S every few moves when using Google's spreadsheet thing.
The other day I overheard someone making the exact-same joke I often make when getting someone over to verify my age on the supermarket auto-till things before I can pay. I looked around and they were 60 or so.
I've suspected for a while now, but had it totally confirmed this last week - the 'fashion style i effect' (to whatever minor, shitty degree) is somewhat shared, I've realised, by other blokes... who are about 10-15 years older than I. I know the type. I am not their type, nor their age. Older blokes, probably a bit successful in some kind of media sphere, trying to continue to look young. -ish. Thankfully I maintain a cheese-waving psychotic drunko-glaswegio nutter aesthetic, with receding but still manic viking locks, to balance things out, but the clobber. Fuck. I'm a Muswell Hill sixty year old.
