I’ve just dropped a saucepan full of rice in the sink, how’s your Saturday night going?

1. Very well thanks. I’m having a few bevs and smashed my old man 10-0 at darts.

2. Learnt a new song on guitar but the Chinese delivery (ordered at 19:00) is yet to arrive.

   So mixed bag.

3. Meh, at work got 8 more hours to go and slept poorly.

4. Rice cooker?

5. about to eat rice from 2 nights ago and chicken i ordered drunk last night but couldn’t finish 👍🏾

6. What was your rice doing near the sink?

7. You can microwave rice if that’s easier.

8. Saturday night and the air is getting hot…

9. Get yourself a rice cooker, I have a cheap Russel Hobbs one, cost about £40 and it’s super easy to use and produces amazing rice. Literally: wash rice; add rice and water to bowl; switch on; wait; eat delicious rice.

10. I ate some rice earlier. I’ve been indulging in a cocktail of drugs since, but it’s the rice that brought me here.

11. I use the absorption method, so you don’t drain the rice, and it absorbs any seasoning you put in the water. Takes a few goes to get right, so you know how water to add to get the bite you want to the rice, but once you know how to do it, you won’t go back.

    Downside is it takes about half an hour. Upside you can make really good rice, garlic rice, jelof rice, pilau rice, plus you can make more than you need, stick it in the fridge over night and make fried rice with the left overs.

12. At least it landed in the sink and not on the floor.

13. I was using Hello Fresh and they put bags of ice in the box which you can just put in the sink to melt. There was a discount for Mindful Chef so I used that, they also send ice packs. Except I discovered their ice isn’t water. I came back to my sink to find it was covered in this weird gel that I had to scoop out by hand.

14. That’s what you get for not using a rice cooker.

15. Why the heck are you draining rice? That’s not how you cook rice…….

16. I’ve done that with a pan of lovingly simmered chicken stock before. All the bones and veg left in the strainer, stock down the plug hole. With rice I’d honestly be tempted to scoop it all up and just give a rinse, then pop back on the hob to dry and steam a bit…
