forgot to press the cook rice button
icecream it is
I'm not even in your household but my disappointment is immeasurable and my day has been ruined. never forget the cook rice button unless you want your family to hate you ;(
I was about to say this but I have icecream. Two flavours to choose from too. I should not complain.
Im confused, how long does it take to cook rice?
Depends on how much you're cooking. Half an hour for me for 3 servings.
It depends on the cooker you have and what you're cooking. Like I have the shitty Kmart one that only cooks one way (there is a steamer but we don't use that as often as we should) so it would take maybe 15 to 30 minutes, and will cook everything the same no matter what you put in it. But the fancy ones that sing when it's done, Zojirushi, they do white rice, brown rice, short grain rice, congee, quinoa, porridge, slow cook, etc. they all have different cooking times.
So yeah, depends on the type of cooker and what kind of rice you're cooking, and how much of it too.
Mine has a "quick" cycle that is something like 40 minutes. The quality cycle is about an hour (it can be adjusted for both preferences in taste and for different varieties of rice).
I've done that before and it's the most embarrassing shit ever. Like, I've sat doing my own thing for 30 minutes and it didn't even cook... UGH.
and I'm supposed to notice the lack of steamy bubbling sound!
