Recommend me a rice cooker and a microwave....

**Gman** · 10-09-2011, 11:59 AM

So I need to get some kitchen appliances for the new apartment, specifically a rice cooker and a microwave. Haven't had to buy either in years so now idea what to look at. If you guys have specific models or recommendations to look at let me know.

I have a ZOJIRUSHI rice cooker. It probably 10 years old and works great. They sell replacement bowls when the non-stick gets messed up. I only need to cook rice for two people and they make a 3 cup version.

**DasBlunt** · 10-09-2011, 12:10 PM

Costco has a sweet cheap one right now. It is the big boy and can steam other food on top. 30 bux, Aroma is the brand...freaking rocks. Replaced an really old one.

Microwave? fit your space and it should not matter much.

zonjirushi ends the thread for rice cookers.

whats the difference between the digital ones and the cheaper versions? how much should one spend on a rice cooker?

**DasBlunt** · 10-09-2011, 12:58 PM

Dude, a zonjirushi is like 40-220 bux i believe.

Mine looks like the 180 dollar version and was 30, makes brown rice like a pro and steams fish.

**DasBlunt** · 10-09-2011, 01:02 PM

Digital rocks for pre programming. They have quick cook modes, but the rice does not come out the same as the regular mode. Rice takes time, so having it programmed, then ready when u want is cool.

If you just want quick rice, buy the cheapest you can find non-dig...I had one for 20 years without failure.

Rice cooker has already been covered above. Only thing I would concern myself about with a microwave is that it is at least 1000 Watts. Don't cheap out and get an 800 Watt. They are so cheap nowadays anyway.

**BeanDip4All** · 10-09-2011, 02:30 PM

good thread! i'd like something that steams veggies as well... and fish. any recommended all in ones?

We have a 2.0cuft Amana Radarange in stainless steel. Have beaten the fuck out of it for 8 years and it still works great.

"ey go cook rice"

local translation: beat it, get the fuck out of here, your useless for anything but cooking rice. Often spoke to annoying younger siblings and ugly wives.

**dumpy** · 10-09-2011, 11:15 PM

Another vote for the Aroma.

I've got one and it cooks perfect rice, plus it's a great steamer. I do broccoli, green beans and even corn on the cob in it. Wicked handy device and it's give me 0 problems in a year of ownership.

Learn how to cook, rice is easy.

Never ruin food with a microwave. Yay for cancer.

Try a convection mini oven/toaster oven. takes a few minutes longer but the quality is not even comparable to a dehydrating, uneven heated, molecular changing nuke box.

You're an idiot. Do you have any idea how much RF, including 2.4GHZ (microwave) is out there?

If you're worried about RF passing through your food, you should see how much passes through your body every day. Your microwave oven should be the least of your concerns.

You're the dumbest person ever. I'll be over there in an hour, to point this at your window.

**4matic** · 10-10-2011, 09:45 AM

Nice thing about the Zojirushi is it keeps rice warm and usable all day. The good rice cookers actually take longer to cook the rice.

I have this one:

**DasBlunt** · 10-10-2011, 09:56 AM

All the good ones keep it warm. No need to spend more for Japanese anymore.

Aroma @ 30 bux

Japanese brand @160

cooks the same.

**AKturnanburn** · 10-10-2011, 05:48 PM

Go team ricecooker, I was just talking shit, whatever, ricecookers are easy. set it... and forget it.

But microwaves are a different story.

I guess if your just gonna heat up your processed chemical filled hot pocket it probably won't matter, but for those that care about what they fuel their body with, here's a few links.

Oh, I bet the FDA says its ok, right? great.

I read it on the internet, so it must be true.

I cant imagine what an actual problem would do to you guys. Clearly youd just roll over and die.

I guess the health of humanity doesn't really matter, your right, no health problems in america, carry on.

Enjoy the velveeta

Look BRO,

Noones saying to go out and eat McDonalds every day. But microwaving yesterdays left over curry from the shitty thai place in your ski town isnt going to kill you.

Relax. The guy wanted a reco on a microwave, not your soy bullshit because your so core and spend your EBT balance at the Whole Grocer, cook it sustainably, then smell your own farts you smug piece of shit.

**XXX-er** · 10-10-2011, 06:10 PM

just get something on sale or preferably at a garage sale or something that matches your kitchen or something you get free ...this isnt a biggy like buying a house or SFT
