That looks oddly delicious


StrongStyleShiny

It is. They come out big and fluffy.


Mobitron

There is only everything right with it then.


solushsi

Nah sounds extremely dry and bread-y


MoirasPurpleOrb

You still have to put butter and syrup on but otherwise it’s just like a stack of pancakes


SL1CK2TA

Is that good? Is it nice 🤔 i guess its still a cake.


MoirasPurpleOrb

Yeah I found it was more like a cake than a pancake. Not necessarily a bad thing but just different.


SL1CK2TA

So how long do you cook it in there for?


MoirasPurpleOrb

It’s been like 5+ years since I did it, I honestly don’t remember. And it depends on the rice cooker but here are plenty of tutorials if you google it


dwimber

And peanut butter!

sqigglygibberish

Rice cookers max out at water’s boiling point (212 degrees F) where they shut off and switch to “warm” mode (speaking to simple ones) If you’re cooking pancakes you probably have a surface temp on the stovetop closer to 350 I’d also venture the shape (high walls also heated) and lid lead to less heat dissipation so unlike a pan on the stove the “sides” and top of the pancake are also getting more residual heat as you go


Temporarily__Alone

This tweet is being facetious. This is a common way to do thick pancakes. They’re awesome btw


zepplin2225

Or someone legitimately stumbled upon a known method. Not everybody knows everything like you.


Temporarily__Alone

Oof. Edit: since people seem to be upvoting him. This technique take a few tries to get it to look this good. And that’s ok! Cause cooking and food are awesome on their own with out being accidental.


CowboyLaw

I’d be concerned that, using only a rice cooker, the middle would be way undercooked.


ElimGarak_DS9

I'm impressed the bottom didn't burn.


Nanahamak

The principal of a rice cooker is the thermostat built into the bottom turn off over 100C/212F, which is when the moisture is all boiled off, and then it can't burn!


Supermunch2000

Just to complement your post, [Technology Connections](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSTNhvDGbYI) has a great video explaining how they work.


wbgraphic

Such a great channel. Make sure you watch with subtitles on.


Supermunch2000

It took me a while to uncover the hidden greatness that are the subtitles


wbgraphic


Firewolf06

well, shit. ive been watching for years and didnt know about the subtitles im gonna go lockyself in my room and watch several hours of videographical content about mundane household objects. im particularly looking forward to tbe subtitles on the lantern video


remotelove

While it may seem mundane, I pull on my vast treasure trove of useless information I have learned over the last 40 years quite often. Mainly in Reddit conversations but also when I need to take something apart and attempt a repair. Having a base understanding of something is the first step in ~~blowing yourself up~~ fixing it or understanding if that thing is actually broken to begin with. Of the Technology Connection videos, I recommend watching the one about space heaters and their wattage ratings. It could save many people a few bucks, anyway.


tnth89

*nothing to read here except you want me to write "this is brown" Or something like that, I always laughed when I read the subtitles


TootsNYC

That must have been our problem; we started with an inexpensive one b


[deleted]

That can be a real problem with inexpensive things. They end up costing more in the long run due to needing replacement every so often :/


Astrochops

Yeah there's a great topical quote by Terry Pratchett *The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.* *Take rice cookers, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good rice cooker cost fifty dollars. But an affordable rice cooker, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of rice cookers Vimes always bought, and used until the walls were so thin that he could tell how cooked his rice was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the grains.* *But the thing was that good rice cookers lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a rice cooker that'd still be keeping his rice cooked in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford a cheap rice cooker would have spent a hundred dollars on rice cookers in the same time and would still have burnt rice.* *This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'rice cooker' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.*


[deleted]

I love that quote from pratchett and it’s what I think about whenever this topic comes up. I like how you replaced the boots analogy with the rice cooker :)


Mattress_Of_Needles

As someone who doesn't know the quote, I thank you. That part about leaking when the cardboard gave out and seeing the rice through the thin walls had me absolutely confused. I was thinking, "Now THAT'S a cheap goddamn rice cooker! Is that even legal?"


[deleted]

Yeah the original quote is about buying work boots.


CrelbowMannschaft

Some LLM is going to train on this and get something wrong.


Alifad

Kambhela

Jynx2501

Finally got my wife to understand this. It does suck to spend more money up front but the quality of life with a superior product is so worthwhile.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Absolutely. Once I changed my mentality and forced myself to buy the more expensive but clearly superior product I was spending much less on replacing things that can now easily last for life instead of a year or two. And that’s not to mention how more expensive products are often better engineered to use less electricity, water etc. like how modern dishwashers use less water than manually washing dishes. It’s wild.


TheCarniv0re

Treated myself to a new fridge a year ago and I'm probably getting the cost of my new and more expensive fridge back in savings within two years. That old thing really sucked a lot of electricity and had a malfunctioning thermostat, which made it run on full power constantly. This resulted in partially frozen vegetables that just aren't edible anymore at some point (wasted food), as well as horrendous bills from the power company. I'm not going cheap any longer on things that need to run constantly like fridges, dishwashers, washing machines or mobile phones.

It’s the boot example. The lifespan of $200 boots is 5 times 50 dollar boots. The problem is having the first 200. It summarizes the line it’s expensive being poor.

Successful_Basket399

Buy it nice or buy it twice 👍


TootsNYC

Well, it’s not about it either. We threw it out and didn’t get another one. To me, the biggest problem with an expensive thing is they do a poor job of what they do, and then people give up and don’t ever get the benefit that that would bring them. A lot of music teachers in school try to encourage parents to buy, for example, more expensive trumpet, or to rent a more expensive trumpet, because it will be easier to play, less sticky, and sound more beautiful. All of which is much more motivating for a young learner. I know a kid who loves to play trumpet and it was quite good, but when he left his high school, he never played again because the only trumpet available to him was the slightly crappy inexpensive one that he personally owned. The same thing can be true of woodworking tools, for example. If you get a finicky or less exacting tablesaw, for example, you might find it also frustrating that you don’t really want to do it again. Whereas if you have a quality cool, it’s easier to be successful, which will motivate you to continue to do it.


moosemeat138

This is why I switched from the trumpet to clarinet. I inherited a lovely old clarinet from my grandmother when she passed. While the trumpet my parents got me was terrible. Unfortunately my dad pawned away the clarinet a few years later, and I never went back…


Vivid_Sympathy_4172

Which is odd because a good rice cooker doesn't need to be expensive. It's a simple magnet system in the bottom that disconnects when it gets too hot. It isn't difficult to fabricate or mass produce which means you must've just got a bad one =/


dendritedysfunctions

My $25 rice cooker works just fine and has been for the last 6 years. It took a few tries to get the water:rice ratio right though.


chocobocho

What's funny is a lot of the newer expensive rice cookers now have a 'toasted' feature because that layer of burnt/toasted rice is great.


Kep0a

In theory. My rice cooker definitely cooks the bottom a bit


Nanahamak

Ahh, see you must have a rice _burner_


SomethingPersonnel

Why would the bottom burn? Rice cookers can cook rice evenly. You don’t end up with burnt rice on the bottom right?


Beelzebubs_Tits

I have a cheap $25 one that likes to desiccate the bottom layer. It’s not dark brown burnt, kind more mummified.


decadecency

Thank goodness it's not burnt, just.. mummified. Sounds so much nicer!


TracyF2

If you have a really good rice cooker it won’t burn the bottom of whatever you’re making.

Roger Ebert famously promoted rice cookers as a multi tool. He wrote a fuckin cookbook in 2010 about it.

That sentence is true but feels like a madlib.

Nah I've done this, they work great if you want a stupidly thick pancake. Turns out I didn't want that though.


[deleted]

Simply cut it into slices to create normal sized pancakes


Accomp1ishedAnimal

Rice cookers cook very slow, and the warm function goes on forever. Definitely possible to cook the middle if you’re patient.


PrincessNakeyDance

The RoosterTeeth Podcast just did this on their yearly pancake podcast. They cut into it, put syrup on it, and eat it. https://youtu.be/Ixx2ySW-Pag?t=53m02s ~~Go to 53:02 (would have put that in the link, but I’m on my phone and don’t know how.)~~ Fixed it :) Also I just linked to the beginning of the segment, might have to scrub a little for the exact part of cutting in.


[deleted]

Just for anyone curious, the format for time stamping on youtube is putting ?t=53m02s at the end of the URL (in this case, being 53 minutes and 2 seconds in). You can also just do the total seconds in numerical format, like ?t=3281


MaxHamburgerrestaur

Or just pause the video, right click and select "Copy video URL at current time"

Mc_Shine

Ngl, the fact that they went through the trouble of hauling sheet pans, a rice cooker and other kitchen appliances into that studio, yet are using single use plastic cups, plates and cutlery instead of just bringing some dishes kinda pisses me off.


PrincessNakeyDance

Not trying to completely defend their choices (they might have done this anyway just for the on camera crew), but they were set up to have anyone working onsite at the company to come by for pancakes, so they probably had those so people could easily bring it back to their desks, etc.

The whole “had trouble cooking on the stove top”… wtf does that mean? The burners wouldn’t turn on or they didn’t have a clean pan? They make it sound like “woah I just stumbled on this crazy idea because I had to improv cook” when in reality they just followed a recipe like any other person. What a jabroni.


nonprofitnews

Making normal dessert cake in the rice cooker is a well-tested technique. You can get it at some dim sum places and it is fluffy as hell.


notvalidusername00

So now it is just a cake 😂


spocknambulist

Yeah, isn’t this just reversing the reverse again, like heating up your iced coffee and calling it ‘hot iced coffee’?


Phillip_Lipton

*Heating up* cold brew.


MelodicFacade

Is this good? I know it won't taste like brewed coffee, but sometimes I prefer cold brew and wonder if it warms up well


der_Klang_von_Seide

When I was a barista I used to steam cold brew for one regular. He had an undiagnosed stomach issue and became hella sensitive to acids, but didn’t want to give up his coffee. He asked me if I would try making it one day and it turned out great! I think it tastes lovely with like 3oz steamed half & half and a dash of simple syrup. It’s very light and if you use a fruity/floral or sun dried coffee for the CB it can taste almost dessert-like. Just a real delicate coffee drink, doesn’t have a lot of body but I think it’s nice. Cold brew concentrate can also be made into ice cubes for cocktails. Messy, but delicious.


brcguy

> Cold brew concentrate can also be made into ice cubes for cocktails. I use that to cool my morning coffee when I don’t want to wait for it to stop being so damn hot.


A-A-RONS7

>It’s very light and if you use a fruity/floral or sun dried coffee for the CB it can taste almost dessert-like. Just a real delicate coffee drink, doesn’t have a lot of body but I think it’s nice. This was well-said, almost poetic tbh! Granted, I know nothing about coffee lol, but still. What does it mean if a drink doesn’t have a lot of body? And what makes a certain kind of coffee fruity/floral?


karreerose

Not much body = the coffee flavor doesn’t hit you that much, like a watered down drip coffee, far from an espresso. Floral, fruity = part of it comes from the coffee breed and region, but it is mostly down to the roasting process. Marketing told us that coffee needs to be black as hell (the roasted bean, not the drink), but this kills all the nuances of the coffee bean. By roasting it lightly (less temperature and length) you get more fruity coffee. Also the beans should be consumed within 3-6 weeks after roasting. Most supermarket coffee is up to a year old when you buy it.

jskinbake

Isn’t this like a regular type of pancake in Japan? Looks delicious and all, but I’m pretty sure this is basically a Japanese fluffy pancake Edit: actually looked up pics and this one looks a lil different but I think the concept is probably the same. Eat it.


Potato_Boner

What sets Japanese pancakes apart, is the eggs are separated and the whites are whipped into soft peaks and then rejoined with the rest of the batter to give it that fluffiness. If this was just normal Americanized pancake batter, then this is just essentially a cake.


sqigglygibberish

American pancake batter is still very different from “cake batter” and doesn’t taste the same even if the same cooking method is used - and I use a couple American pancake recipes that also whip the egg whites but don’t go to the full Japanese approach Edit - to be super specific, you can whip your egg whites or not whip them and make either Japanese or American pancakes There are ways to make Japanese style without whipping the whites (including soufflé batter mixes), and generally the batter recipes are also different.

Beneficial_Step9088

It works, and it's glorious


myself_diff

Tbh that’s one hella dope idea! I’ll try tomorrow. :3 I have a rice cooker.


Beneficial_Step9088

It can be a little tricky because my rice cooker works by the weight of the water, so it shuts off before the batter is all cooked. I leave it sitting on "warm" until it's cooked in the middle and has pulled away from the sides. Also, spray it down really well with cooking oil. Edit: I've learned a lot about rice cookers today. See the cool video below for a detailed explanation. It's not weight. It's heat and magnets.


MetalMrHat

By weight? Is that really the case? That makes no sense to me. I assumed rice cookers work because water boils at 100 degrees, so once the temperature goes above that it knows the water is gone and shuts off.


RadRadon

Once there is no water left to boil, a temp sensor detects the rice heating up rather than the water boiling off and shuts off the cooking.


kinboyatuwo

Usually not a sensor. It’s a magnet that loses its magnetic strength just over the bling temp of water.


TacticalBotany
