It seemed like magic before, and then he gave me the behind-the-scenes tour and it still seemed like magic. Basically, you rinse the rice a few times in a strainer until the water comes out mostly clear. (Sometimes we cook white rice, sometimes brown rice.) Next you take out the rice cooker and you put the rice in it. Then you add the liquid. We usually add coconut milk because according to my dad the coconut rice gets eaten at approximately 4 times the speed as rice made with plain water (at least in our family). Once the rice and liquid are inside, you just close the lid on the machine and press "start" and then about an hour later the thing beeps out a melody and you can eat it (the rice, not the cooker). That's basically it. My parents cook rice all the time for dinner, sort of as a default base to go with whatever else we're eating, so they love the convenience of the rice cooker. It's not exactly cooking-show-worthy though, so I'm excited to learn about some other more interesting ways to prepare the stuff.]]> 2020-08-25 22:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shawnee_rivera/k8bczc3vcefydts7/wish/698750108 Parma, Province of Parma, Italy https://padlet.com/shawnee_rivera/k8bczc3vcefydts7/wish/698750183 Tagliatelle, instead of making big Christmas or Thanksgiving dinners we make tagliatelle at home.
