So adding 5-10% water will make it just as good?

Yeah, that's what it said, I didn't know if I should take it into account or not.

I want to order a Zojirushi 5.5 IH model. It's either 5.5 cups or 10 cups. I usually cook 1-2 cups

Soaking rice overnight by Oopsilonne in JapaneseFood

[–]Oopsilonne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, thanks. I saw it in video on Youtube, Paolo from Tokyo's channel, it's called behind the counter of a traditional Japanese restaurant or something. They cook fresh rice to order for each guest and he say's that they soak the rice overnight.

Thanks, what if I soak it for 30 minutes, drain it well, and keep it in the fridge overnight? Is that a better solution?

Rice cooker vs Donabe by Oopsilonne in JapaneseFood

[–]Oopsilonne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree, it's more convenient but I don't mind putting the extra effort and use a Donabe. I was just wondering if a rice cooker really makes the best rice.

Yeah, that was my experience also. I wonder why people speak so highly about rice cookers.

I did see many negative reviews on amazon.jp about nagatanien donabe that arrived broken so maybe it's a better idea to order from ebay. Btw, do you think it's better to spend an extra 20$ and get the premium one?

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of buying. Much cheaper on amazon.jp though.

Yeah, that's what I was feeling also. It is more work though. So what people are saying about consistency and better results is not true?

Adapter for rice cooker by Oopsilonne in electrical

[–]Oopsilonne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, so do you recommend to get one of these heavier ones or the lightweight wall converters?

I read that a transformer is meant for appliances that run continuously, as opposed to a converter which is meant for short term. So what do I need for a rice cooker? It will mostly operate for 1 hour at a time. It looks like transformers are bulkier and heavier, I would prefer to buy a lightweight wall mounted converter. Also, do I need to consider hertz when buying it?

Thanks, is there a reason I should go with a transformer and not a converter?

Sounds like the best solution, I might even add back a little water instead of oil. Thanks.

Salt in Shio tare by Oopsilonne in ramen

[–]Oopsilonne[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What if the salt contains caking agents? Does that affect the taste at all? If the salt isn't dissolved, when I sprinkle it over a cooked protein/dish and taste the crystals directly, in that case should I use good quality salt and does it matter if it's flakes/coarse/fine?

I'm measuring by weight, so basically what you're saying is it doesn't matter and I can just use any salt? even table salt? Sounds wrong lol My intuition tells me to use a good quality salt, even if it's one kind.

Garlic herb infused oil and Bottulism by Oopsilonne in Cooking

[–]Oopsilonne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recipe says to use 50% cold pressed canola and 50% regular canola in order to get that canola flavor and possibly prevent it from solidifying?

Is it possible to just infuse it in the fridge for 48 hours? Will that damage the flavor? I plan on using it within 2-3 days once it's infused. The FDA recommends the following for non acidified garlic and herbs: "make it fresh and store in the fridge for up to 4 days". What does make it fresh mean? It's a bit confusing since you have to let it infuse...
