We eat a lot of rice and I've decided a rice dispenser would be a nice present for Christmas
He liked to use a boiling water bath to cook/steam rice in a stainless steel bowl. He’d leave the covered pot with the uneaten rice on the stove, and reheat it the same way.
Worked for him.
Until the unwelcomed foreign culture arrived...
I buy rice in the 50 pound bags, and I have several large Tupperware (ok generic plastic-ware) containers that are normally used for cereal- I try to keep everything in a sealed plastic or glass container once opened.
I pour it all into them, and keep one out, store the others- that way I know it won’t attract any wildlife (always a consideration when living in the country)
...
Don’t forget Rodney Dangerfield.
I bought my wife a pressure cooker.
Now we eat off the ceiling.
Heh. Don't skimp on $$ with a pressure cooker. The good Stainless Steel ones are $220 or so. It's the cheapos that do the ceiling dance.
Perhaps I should buy rice in the 50lb bag and then I might be inclined to do something different. However, pulling rice from a 50lb bag just for the convenience of a 'dispenser' seems unproductive. I think I'd go for a food-grade plastic barrel to keep 50lbs of rice in and forgo another device that's going to break....02. For now it's 5lbs at a time and resides in the 'dry goods drawer'. Dispenser = 1 Cup measure, 3x + 32oz water for my Long Grain Brown Rice...
you can load it in your 12 ga. shells for quick delivery.
they are so light that they have no mass to cause damage... BUT...
As a kid that used to sneak on to the farmer’s land to go fishing, I can tell you that stings like summabeech.
I want a left handed smoke shifter for campfires and such.
I’m a P poor cook but I do like and make rice. I would like to try it made in the oven, anyone have any idea where I can get info on making it in the oven? thanks
You should try the internet.
They actually make the rice a little tastier, believe it our not.

Rice has taste?
Ducatis come from Italy.
although they’re owned by the Germans (Audi)
They’re great if you use a lot of rice. Stores the rice bought by the bag and protects it from vermin.
I tried to cook rice in the oven but never could get it to be as good as the Cuban restaurant’s. I always had a sneaking suspicion that lard was used, but I never tried it.
Rice in the pressure cooker is very good and relatively quick. It’s hard not to get it right if you follow the directions.
I take it your wife recovered?
I’m about the same way, I never measure.
Pour rice in pot, add salt and dab of butter then add water from top of rice to just below the first joint in your finger.
Doesn’t make any difference how much rice you cook the water level is the same.
Sorry but unless it is brown rice you might as well use it to fill potholes. I eat the brown stuff but prefer whole wheat bread. Been eating lots of whole oats these days
If I am at a Chinese restaurant I eat the rice they have
I have had beanbags that the dog dug around on (or someone jumped on) till they burst... Does that count?
I've tried countless expensive and inexpensive rice cookers, including Zorushi, Sanyo, Cuckoo, both regular and pressure cooker models. The best I've found so far is a 10 cup Tiger brand cooker made in Japan. It is an induction cooker that has an eight layer pot and cost about $600. It's expensive, but quick, simple to operate, and produces perfect rice.
If you ever are lucky enough to live in Japan, you will learn that not only does rice have taste, but that the varieties grown in Japan are the tastiest in the world.
My friend married a Korean model rice dispenser but she weighs about 110lbs. He says she works great.
