It's 8pm, still early to be hungry for me but tonight I'm making chicken and that stupid thing always takes forever to cook...maybe I should get started.
Stupid chicken, cook faster. Just double the temperature and it'll cook twice as fast! Meanwhile, I'm making some rice despite recently doing the "I forget how rice works" thing and making way too much.

A sureway method to cook it only outside and not inside.

Rice has a fairly reasonable measurement to hunger system. Generally one cup is a reasonable serving if you're moderately hungry. One and a half if you're starving, and two if you're brave or serving for two.

Sorry, my Imperialism is showing ._.

I suppose someone as petite as you could diminish my formula in half. Especially if you're using rice to compliment your dish rather than make it the primary medium.

Uh?? Ml is for volume, rice isn't liquid <.<
Anyway I just meant who eats rice in a cup in the western world??

I triple rinse my rice before I cook it.
Something I learned in school, is that how you rinse, and the number of times needed to wash off the starch greatly affects it's cooking time, the taste, and what you intend to use it for.
That said, I tend to cook enough rice for 3-4 servings. Yay soy sauce!

I can't be the only one that would find it awkward to measure out rice by grams rather than liters, am I?

"Cup" as a unit of measurement for volume (liquids and stuff like sugar, rice, etc). We're really good at coming up with names of things that are already things.
Anyway, the rice I had cooked the other day was 3 cups dry, dunno how much after cooking. Ate it over the course of the evening.

Jeebus, learn how to cook.

This is something I need to start doing. I underestimate how starchy rice gets sometimes, and I think my dishes could be greatly improved by simply rinsing it out. Good time to buy a wire strainer now.

Actually unless you need to cook for many people we just go by sight. You pour in the plate and see how much you need.
Anyway yeah, never seen anyone measure food by volume instead of mass.

Good time to buy a wire strainer now. I never used a strainer for rinsing my rice. I just simply used a bowl or other dish, then drained the water by tilting it into the sink, and covered the rice just enough to keep it from draining with the water.

1 cup = 250 millilitres
= 16 2⁄3 international tablespoons (15 ml each)
= 12.5 Australian tablespoons (20 ml each)
≈ 8.80 imperial fluid ounces
≈ 8.45 U.S. customary fluid ounces
There's like 7 different 'cups' on wiki

He's a fairly famous American chef, tv personality, restaurateur, and cookbook author. Most well known for his catchphrases...

Rice is relatively low in carbs compared to other grains, and higher in digest-able fiber and protein.
Also absorbs the flavors of other foods really well, so bacon up that rice.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
