Chopsticks are shit too.
I personally use 2 spoons as chopsticks.
I use spoons too.
He says it's a long way to travel just because I fancy some rice but he does as he's told.
The suggestion isn't that a fork isn't fine, a spoon is just better. Only for something like fried rice where you don't need to also fork stuff. Give it a try. Might change your life.

Which one did you go for Mahow?

Should have bought the smaller version though.
I've almost pulled the trigger on a rice cooker a few times but never quite gone for it.
Amazing stuff.Quote:

I find it dries out smaller portions of rice quicker on the warming mode.Quote:

Pressure king is the best rice cooker I ever had.
Lovely stuff. You’ve got to admire the commitment.Quote:

The link to the thread where she turns up and argues with them is quite something, what would be the TTH equivalent? Steve Bruce registering?Quote:

Yeah I mean I'd include stuff like special fried rice from the takeaway in that, spoon definitely the best option. And not that unlikely as a meal, either.Quote:

Rice on its own is weird, and rice as an accompaniment with something else obviously necessitates proper cutlery, but stuff like special fried feels sensible to me.Quote:

A big old bowl of egg fried rice (and a spoon) is one of life's greatest pleasures.

Chopsticks and rice are a perfect match, they're just quite satisfying to use and if I use a spoon it'll all be inhaled in about thirty seconds flat.
I think it's the only time they're the superior implement. Maybe I'm a retard but they're just a pain if your plate is made up of noodley and/or wet things.
Eating that with chopsticks. :harold:
Even Viets use a spoon if just eating rice. Why on earth would you use chopsticks if you are eating rice only, unless you are some try-hard hipster.
If the rice is sticky enough, it works well.
Chopsticks are rubbish though. For once the east can learn from us.
Yeah despite being a dyspraxic hopeless mess, I have trained myself to use chopsticks pretty competently, but i'm still not convinced that they aren't just objectively worse than western cutlery.Quote:

I’ve always been hesitant because my parents have one and manage to fuck it up all the time and my brother (who still lives with them) still uses a pan instead.
I am absolutely shocking in the kitchen, but even I managed not to fuck it up.
Main reasons for fucking up in a rice cooker are not washing enough, using the wrong rice (some are pre-cooked like Uncle Ben's) or adding too much/not enough water.Quote:

I nearly had a wank watching this.

Love it. People like him are my end customers. Something glorious about the way something as big, heavy and cumbersome as a crank gets slotted into such a small space.
And the precision in how it's done. I never do anything as precise, mechanically anyway, but there has to be a huge satisfaction in it.
That is what YouTube is for. Excellent stuff.
His channel is class. I love I Do Cars for one’s going in the other direction too. Plus you can pretend it’s Adam Sandler.

I found this absolutely adorable.
I've watched so many of them. Does make me wary of those do gooders that'll free them immediately after cutting the bands off.
