“Lying scum. You don’t cook rice in a pressure cooker.”

That’s by far the best way to cook rice, especially brown and wild rice mixes which take forever to cook conventionally. A pressure cooker also give very repeatable results when cooking any king of rice as it automatically give perfect temperature control.

My wife (MA in Home Economics) said you never cook rice in a pressure cooker. Rice foams up. And if a grain riding the foam gets lodged in the Rocker port, BOOM!!.

Alawadhi said they put the cookers in the back of their car, and drove to
Manhattan for a few days of sightseeing fun. Then they planned to drive back home to Idaho.

Who drives cross country with Pressure cookers in their trunk? Maybe they
thought if they bought them in Idaho they couldn't be traced back.

Alawadhi described the experience of being detained by cops as “disgusting” and “weird.”

“I am leaving New York because of this,” he said. “We were supposed to stay until Tuesday, but we are leaving Sunday.”

Always play the victim. Never say yeah I can see why you would be upset.

There are many ways to cook rice and for a different texture you can use a Pressure Cooker.
I use that way when adding hocks to the rice and beans. The Hocks come out tender and flavors
the rice at the same time.

Great, now I'm hungry...

If You’ve ever cooked it, it takes a Looonnng time in a sauce pan on a burner.

Rice cookers made specifically for the job negate the need for a pressure cooker. Done in 20 minutes or less.

I don’t think I know anyone who has ever cooked hocks.

Must be a regional thing-—and you make me want to try them.

(I’m in MA)

I’m not saying it doesn’t work. I’m saying it is a risk. It works until it doesn’t. And then the result is very bad.

Have you ever seen a pressure cooker blow up? That happened to a friend of mine when a grain of rice got in the hole that was there to release the pressure if too much had built up….

This was a long time ago—maybe the new pressure cookers have corrected the problem. (I don’t own one, so I don’t know………..)

20 minutes for white basmati, 35-40 minutes for brown rice.
I guess that’s a relatively long time, if you’re used to eating fast-food or microwaved frozen food.

I don’t buy their story. I was just pointing out that you can cook rice in a pressure cooker.

Most people don’t cook anything in a hotel room, but if you were going to, an electric pressure cooker can be versatile and time saving. Aldi sells an inexpensive model that also works as a slow cooker. If you’re traveling on a tight budget, but still want to eat hearty meals, this would be a good thing to take along. But you would only need one, and you wouldn’t be an Islamic terrorist, and you wouldn’t pack two of them for the lone purpose of cooking rice, so that’s all pretty much irrelevant.

Yes, you do cook rice in a pressure cooker.

However, I highly doubt these two guys went all the way to NYC to buy pressure cookers for actual cooking when they could have ordered them for free delivery on Amazon.

Hey, as we say here in America, “don’t let the door hit ya”.

If they’re brand new pressure cookers still in the boxes with receipts showing they were just purchased for a good price, then it’s possible they had legitimate intentions. Not likely, but possible.

If the pressure cookers were not new in the original boxes, there’s zero chance they were intended for anything other than terrorism.

Regardless, it was a very good thing to arrest them and investigate.

Your wife should warn the entire nation of South Korea, since every middle class South Korean home has used pressure cookers to prepare rice for at least 30 years.
