resp:186 That is my point. *everyone* thinks what they are doing is reasonable. I know I sure think that I am doing my part. And no...using a rice cooker is not especially harmful to the environment. And fwiw, I use the stove top method which is probably the least efficient. Anyways, I seriously doubt that even the highest energy taxes in the land would deter someone using a rice cooker since they just dont use that much energy. But think about how you feel when someone suggests to you that you should give up the rice cooker. That is how some folks feel about their SUVs. Guilt will not get them to stop buying them just like no amount of guilt will stop anyone in this conversation from cooking rice in the way that works best for them.
We made a big pot of rice last night in the rice cooker and I was sure to towel off the windows and sills while wearing hipwaders. ;)
http://tinyurl.com/6gr9b3 You want my rice cooker? You're going to have to pry that baby from my cold dead hands.
From my cold dead chubby fingers! Look a nice one with a dial setting (instead of weights) http://tinyurl.com/4qsand
Yeah, you would have to pry my rice cooker from my fingers too! http://www.clearwaterbeachkiku.com/images/ImgLeft_About.jpg

Good one, Lynne!
re #193 Why does that guy have my thong on his head?
Dang. I guess I'll have to quit cooking my rice on a pile of burning car tires. I'm really going to miss that special smoky tang.
I got a new gadget - a milk frother for quick and dirty caps at home. Nuke a little milk with or without flavoring. Froth for 20 seconds. Pour coffee through. Enjoy. It works. http://tinyurl.com/5w4evp
You put milk into your dirty capacitors? Does it fix the bulging problem?
Every time. Almost.
Is there some additional ingredient you need to add to them? Hot glue?
resp:199 That looks almost exactly like a gadget a friend of mine used to bring on backpacking trips - to stir koolaid. It is kind of an in joke but we have a mutual friend who is both into backpacking and into gadgets. He always made a point to pack as lightly as possible but would also almost always bring one fancy made for backpacking gadget. My friend with the koolaid stirrer (which may have really been a milk frother) would always try to also bring a gadget on every trip except he would try to make his as useless as possible in order to tease our other friend.
Boy, your friends go for the jugular, eh? ;-)
Yeah. That same friend with the stirrer once went out and bought a $400 tent which made the other friend rather jealous. Once the first friend realized that, he started setting up his tent in his living room and talking about it all of the time to the gadget head friend. The gadget head friend was really excited to see it in action so to speak. Then, when they next went camping together the guy with the nice tent brought his $15 K-Mart pup tent and said that the $400 tent was too nice to use outside ;)
You have several choices:
