Chopsticks are shit too.
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.

I've never used a rice cooker, but cooking rice always seems 30 seconds away from a fuck up so I'm at least entertaining the idea.Eating rice with a spoon.
Rice cookers
I've got a fancy rice cooker. It's great.
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.
Does a bigger version bring problems?
I don't think I can top that. It's Phil Burnell levels of madness and revisionism. Coming out as poor makes it sound like it's on par with coming out as trans.Jack sells "Ford Kia" (2) (not actually a car that exists. Also, she can't drive because of autism)

I find it dries out smaller portions of rice quicker on the warming mode.
I unplug the unit as soon as my rice has finished cooking and leave it for 10 minutes or so before opening it up.
Pressure king is the best rice cooker I ever had.
Lovely stuff. You’ve got to admire the commitment.
The first picture on that looks like early Mert mugshots.
What happened to that shagger anyway? Did he make it over here?
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?
What on Earth is that website? Like the mumsnet version of kiwi farms.
I'm a twit
I think the mumsnet version of kiwi farms is mumsnet.
Mate, my dick doesn't regularly fall out of your dad's arse but that doesn't mean there's not a better place for it. #teamricespoonsDoes your rice regularly fall off of your fork then?
I've known a few people that eat rice from spoons, but most of them grow out of it once they're able to feed themselves.
If you were having something and rice then fork, but in the unlikely event that you were eating only rice why wouldn't you just use a spoon?
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.
If eating only rice then I will allow the spoon, but who the fuck eats rice on its own? Whatever is next to the rice (meant) necessitates a fork, so a fork it is.
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.
I spose biryani or nasi goreng as well .
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.
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.
I bought a rice cooker, which I have to say is quite brilliant.
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.
I've still got the same £20 rice cooker that I bought as a student about a decade ago. An excellent servant. The pot is completely fucked out of shape and I must be consuming some amount of aluminium with each meal, so an upgrade might be in order soon.
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.

Humble Mechanic is really good I agree. I also like ChrisFix's style for more plug-and-play type videos.
Though American obsession with manuals is still weird.
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.
