Is the rice cooker that much better than the pressure cooker? Mine has a rice button, makes perfect rice every time
Comment on idk
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 days agoI would make the argument for the air fryer, rice cooker and pressure cooker/insta pot. I use each one at least once a week for so many things. Like, I just came across a vegetarian burrito recipe that I meal prep with the insta and rice cooker, and when I defrost in the microwave and then reheat in the air fryer 👩🍳💋

I think so. Even though the product is basically the same, the rice cooker insert is much easier to clean up and I can run them both at the same time when cooking. Having hot food and rice (without having to cook it myself) stretches meals

I have a airfryer/ dual oven counter top that ibuse pretty much for every meal, I always just toss some veggies like potatoes, carrots, squash, broccoli, etc on the top oven and some protein in the bottom oven and it has a mode so they finish at the same time.
For rice i just use the kettle to heat up the water while I rinse out my rice in a strainer, then pour the water in a pot and toss in the rice, once the water boils I turn it down to low, put the lid on, and set a timer for 18 minutes.
We had a insta pot before and used it regularly then one day it just starts smoking and died, luckily I happened to be next to it washing dishes when it happened so I was able to pull the plug on it quick

I finally got an air fryer just to see what all the hype was about, and although it does a nice job on some things, it’s not really any faster and it makes the whole house reek because it’s blowing air continuously, which I should have expected, but eww. Plus I can make way more fries on a baking sheet. I don’t really get it.

It heats faster, cooks faster (unless you have a convection oven) and doesn’t heat the whole kitchen/house. The oven is great for quantity, but the air fryer is quicker and tends to get stuff crispier.
