Agreed 100%. I don't even like rice unless it's fly lice.
It's very rare that any of my soups contain butter, typically EVOO or
chicken schmaltz. And salt is on the table for those who indulge. I
detest all "cream of" soups. I mostly add salt via soy sauce or
kosher salt. When I make a huge pot of cabbage soup the fat is from
the meat, usually beef chuck and I skim off most of the fat. Anyone
wants more salt there's the salt shaker... usually I'll put out a
small salt cellar of kosher salt. I use very little table salt, I
have one of those cylindrical containers of Mortons table salt for
some fifty years and it's still more than half full, I can't remember
the last time I filled a salt shaker. Most of my life I've used
kosher salt by small pinches... I can always add more salt, I can't
take it out. Even for sour pickles I use half the recommended amount.

Good luck with your new rice cooker. I could do a lot with such a rice cooker. :)

Mea culpa. I'm the idiot that suggested the rice cooker a few weeks
ago, thinking they are almost idiot proof.
 
I honestly thought it would solve all her rice problems. My
El-Cheapo cooker makes a mechanical 'CLICK' when it trips off. No
way you wouldn't notice if you are in the kitchen, unless you also
had loud rap music playing, tribal drums beating, or gunfire.
 
Maybe she needs that expensive computerized
zoriyushimotoyama-whatever rice cooker? Nah, one of the guys would
surely shoot it up with a six-gun.
 
Bothel is truly in the twilight zone.

When Carol (cshenk) suggested she buy a rice cooker after Julie posted
about her last rice "fail" she rejected the idea. Now that her
"boyfriend" uses one of course she just had to order one.
 
I have no idea why she thinks a rice cooker is a good way to cook
tamales, unless she's talking about heating up frozen tamales.

Why is it you think a rice cooker is intended to be used for tamales?
Just because you love "mexican rice" doesn't mean a rice cooker will
work for tamales. Or anything you perceive to be "Mexican".
 
I mentioned this in another post where you brought up tamales and a rice
cooker. Requires a deep pot with a lid and a steamer basket. Yeah, you
got rid of the deep pot because you never used it and didn't have that
type of steamer basket.
 
So, go ahead and complain about why your rice cooker won't work for
tamales. I can certainly understand why.
 
No way is a rice cooker is designed to handle this. When I made tamales
it was pretty much a one pot deal (from cooking the meat to create the
nice spicy broth to stacking them in the pot and steaming until done.)
Except for the mixing bowl for the masa dough, only one cooking pot was
needed and it sure wasn't a rice cooker.
 
Tamales are a lot of work. Have you ever made them?
 
I slow simmered a pork roast (I know, you don't like pork - substitute
chicken if you like with lots of spices in a deep pot in liquid until
the meat was falling apart tender. Removed the meat and strained the
spicy cooking liquid. When making tamales, that liquid is reserved and
used to add moisture to the filling but also to the dough and to steam
the tamales. Shred or chop the meat (whichever you prefer) and moisten
it with a bit of the spicy broth.
 
Make the dough using masa harina (some of the spicy cooking liquid is
also added to the dough as the liquid). Spread the dough onto soaked
corn husks then add the meat and roll the tamales. Place them in a deep
pot over a steamer basket, standing upright, and steam until about 30-40
minutes until when you unwrap one the dough lightly pulls apart from the
husk.
 
I think you're expecting the impossible from a stove-top appliance. I
also don't think you intend to "make" tamales. Reheat some frozen ones,
perhaps. A rice cooker is still not the best countertop appliance for
the task.

My guess is that the majority of the cops/security are are on the side of the Trump supporters/terrorists/looters. They are totally unsuitable at protecting anything from the Trump minions. Well, excepting maybe, a box of doughnuts.

Redd Foxx records. Without them, there probably wouldn't be Rudy Ray Moore records. Without Rudy Ray Moore records, there probably wouldn't be rap. Redd Foxx is responsible for rap music. :)

I like girly drinks, liquers and sweet wine, but I also like strong, hoppy beer.
I detest gin, dislike whisky, and don't even really like rum. I have nothing
against dry wine, as I have a big packet of sucralose.

Hey man, in his defense, he DOES provide a few laffs. Almost as
many as Popeye the homo sailor, or Sir Druce the self righteous

All of which must be harvested before the hard winter sets in.
 
Granted, it hasn't done so yet (at least in Michigan), but we've seen
plenty of sub-zero C nights. The last time I walked on my lawn
the dirt was as hard as concrete.

No matter how I might prefer my soup, it always turns out to be a
bowl of mixed vegetables with some liquid in between them.
 
Suits me; gives it more staying power than something that's mostly
water.

For the best soup Popeye, save back a pint of yoose daily human
breast milk, and add it about half way of the coking.
 
Yoose can just whack off if yoose run out of bosom juice.
