Andy_Copland 0 #1 June 2, 2006 Was listening to something on the radio the other night about cookers. Yes you can buy a cooker that wont let you cook without passing a breath test first... Im split on wether this is a good idea or not, i mean fires are bad...but surely when your that drunk your too fucking lazy to cook. I mean the worst i've done is cook pasta for myself and all i can say is my eyes were bigger than my belly, i could of wiped out world hunger if i handed it out. Anyone got any bad cooking while drunk experiences? personally i think a detector to see if you've washed your hands after taking a leak would be much better1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

Lindercles 0 #4 June 2, 2006 What kind of cooker are we talking about? An oven? A deep fryer? A crock pot? I think part of the idea may be to prevent drunken gorging and subsequent weight gain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davedlg 0 #6 June 2, 2006 My sister had a roommate in college who got drunk and decided to cook some macaroni and cheese. He started the water boiling and proceeded to pass out on the couch. Multiple hours later, when the rest of the house got up, the water had long since evaporated out of the pot and the pot itself had melted into the stove and was glowing bright orange.

lauras 0 #8 June 2, 2006 Ahh, my misspent youth! Was picking up a pot of pasta off the stove to drain while I was drunkenly blabbing away. Didn't notice that I had set the tea towel I was using on fire. Dropped the pot full of boiling water & pasta, flapping the tea towel around like mad and set my hair on fire. Luckily, I was wearing shoes (I'm usually barefoot in the house) and didn't burn my toes right off. Not too much hair burned off and we were too drunk to eat anyway. The dog took care of the pasta later so all I had to do was throw a bunch of towels on the floor to mop it up. I'm far too mature to do that now!

StreetScooby 5 #16 June 2, 2006 Quote Rice is my adversary! Here's how I do it: 1) 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice (measure the rice first. If you do the water first, the rice sticks in the measuring cup). 2) Put the water in the pot and bring to a vigorous boil. This takes less than 5 minutes. 3) While the water is boiling, add butter or oil ( 1/4 stick?). This will keep the rice from sticking together. 4) Add salt to taste, and any other seasonings you want. 5) Once the water is boiling, add the rice. 6) Bring the whole mixture back to a vigorous boil. 7) Put the lid on, and turn the heat down to simmer. 8) Make sure you still see steam coming out of the top of the pot. 9) DO NOT, UNDER ANY CONDITIONS, LIFT THE LID. The rice/water will lose the heat. 10) Wait 20 minutes (for white rice). It takes this long for the rice to absorb the water. 11) Leaving the lid on, take the pot off the heat and put it to one side for 5 more minutes. 12) Rice should be ready to go.

NWFlyer 2 #17 June 2, 2006 I never have any trouble with white rice, but brown rice screws me up almost every time (but I like it because it's so much healthier). I've heard great things about rice cookers for the stovetop-impaired, though. I just tried this for the first time and it works like a CHARM... and you can just stick it in the oven and forget about it (but set a timer, of course!). I didn't even have a glass pan and it was fine. Baked Brown Rice 1 1/2 cups brown rice, medium or short grain 2 1/2 cups water 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 teaspoon kosher salt Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the rice into an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Bring the water, butter, and salt just to a boil in a kettle or covered saucepan. Once the water boils, pour it over the rice, stir to combine, and cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

yardhippie 0 #22 June 2, 2006 the only prob I got with that is sticking. I cook with gas, and even with my good cookware there will be about a 1/2" of rice stuck to the bottom.

Andy9o8 2 #23 June 2, 2006 I'm a big rice lover, but cooking brown rice kicks my ass, too. But I like chicken & rice dishes, so an easy way to cook the brown rice w/o f-ing it up is to put a (preferably dead) chicken in a covered roaster pot, w/plenty of favorite spices, onions & shrooms, add the amount of rice you want, then add the right amount of liquid for the rice, a little olive oil; cover pot & bake at 350 for about 1 hr 15 mins. Comes out perfect every time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
