Reddit mentions: The best bowls

woowoo nuru session is one of my favorite! lol

so so so will break down some basics!

1. as /u/sunniyellowscarf say gel may eventually get sticky and gross. this because water gel ratio mix off and room too cold. first must use enough hot water mixing with gel for proper ratio. second must start session freshly showered and not dried off (start session wet from shower). lastly turn up heat in room both bodies should be sweating because nori stay activated with humidity (shower steam) and sweat.
   
2. use rubber sheet or inflatable mattress just for nuru. personally i love exxxtreme sheet i link.....super easy cleanup and kingsize bed so much more fun romping around lots of space.
   
3. cleanup! have half dozen beach towel ready for cleanup. always always always wipe nuru off with large dry towel first. nuru reactivate with any moisture so using wet towel for cleanup just spread mess around. towel yourself off first and towel client off and while client in shower towel sheet off. sheet now completely dry in less than minute and can strip bed put sheet in machine wash. personally i hang dry have never used dryer but my apartment have large balcony can hang sheet over balcony rail for air dry. outcall.....sheet totally dry once towel off so fold into carry bag and wash later.
   
4. contact! treat nuru session as happy ending massage not penetrative sex. body slide or body rub obviously make contact with penis but no penetrative sex or "stripper slide" or vaginal contact. during slide will contact penis with breasts and other "crevice" like armpit or between thighs or between calves but always preventing actual vaginal contact.
   
5. penetrative sex only done after nuru slide over!
   
6. condoms! is safe for penetrative intercourse after nuru as long care taken before pull out condom for sex. wipe hands dry with towel and wipe client penis and crotch dry with towel. never never wash because water just reactive nuru make even more slippery! dry nuru residue okay but must be dry residue. put on condom as normal and dry nuru residue create almost gluelike seal of condom on penis. have never had condom slide off as long as area dry before roll on condom.
   
7. penetrative sex okay even with wet nuru on sheet and other part of body just be aware.....continuing nuru slide with condom on may work wet nuru gel under base of condom which may slowly work way up shaft.....which may lubricate condom inside enough slide off. so this why i say.....body slide first then penetrative sex as separate finale of session.
   
8. if client cum during nuru slide.....do not take chance with condom for second go until both have had full shower. but even if nuru dry on bed during shower is okay. steam from shower and wet bodies and sweat reactive nuru residue on rubber sheet so will get slippery again as soon as hop back on bed.
   
9. my favorite mr. nori's pink nuru and mix with hot water in large bowl (or ice bucket for outcall lol). but yesterday i notice mr. nori's web site and youtube channel disappear. i make post on /r/sextoys asking if anyone know what happen with mr. nori's.
   

• /r/SexToys/comments/7fg8hj/what_happen_to_mr_noris_nuru_gel_web_site_and/
  
  so.....uhhhhh.....hope that help! lol any other question just ask!

1. Yes.
   
   
2. Yes. (I mean, you still need to explain the rules to them and they need to create a character, but the latter is quick and the former is no more difficult than explaining any other game.)
   
   
3. No. People love to over-complicate this, but all you need for effectively storing Gloomhaven for rapid set-up and tear down are plastic baggies and some envelopes. (I'm going to break this down specifically, but it really just boils down to the common sense of "put each component type in its own baggie so that you don't have to sort them out every time you want to play".)
   
   

• Character boxes, miniatures, monster cards, monster sleeves, and all active cards fit into the slots provided in the insert.
  
• Take all cards not currently being used and place them in a large baggie. (I also drop in a notecard with the label "SUPPLY" so that I can quickly identify what that baggie is for.)
  
• As you play the game, certain cards will be removed from the game. Place these in a new baggie. (Which I label "DEAD COMPONENTS" with a notecard.)
  
• Use one baggie each for status tokens, hit points, summoning tokens, money tokens, scenario aid tokens, the plastic stands, and tokens for the elemental infusion board.
  
• Place each monster type in a small baggie. Then place all the monster baggies into a large, gallon-size baggie.
  
• Place all unlockables in one 8.5 x 11 envelope (including Town Records Book, stickers, sealed envelopes). (I also printed out a copy of p. 49 of the rulebook -- which summarizes the conditions for the unlockables -- and glued it onto the front of the envelope for easy reference and tracking. But that's optional.)
  
• Place all the character sheets for the current party in another 8.5 x 11 envelope. To keep things even cleaner, you can create sub-envelopes for each character.
  
  The baggies all go into the box insert. The map tiles go on top of that. The board goes on top of those. The envelopes and rulebooks go on top of that.
  
  To keep things from getting chaotic during play, I recommend using small cups for each token type. Plastic soy sauce dishes are great for this, and super cheap. (I use them for virtually every game I play, so this isn't a Gloomhaven-specific expense.) When the game is over, you can just pour each dish back into a baggie.
  
  Takes me 5-10 minutes to tear the game down. Takes me 15-20 minutes to set the game up.

Not game specific, but little condiment bowls to hold any sort of components. Something like this

https://www.amazon.com/Melamine-Plastic-White-Sauce-Dish/dp/B000E5XJHC?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_3

Using for a game like scythe is awesome, you can keep a handful of bowls on each side or corner of the table and it keeps the game organized and no one is reaching over the table. Biggest quality of life adjustment for the cheapest cost.

Storage solutions for whatever games you play the most is probably the next best thing. It can be expensive going the broken token route, but something like a Plano tacklebox thing for gloomhaven pieces will be about $10 and saves sooo much time.

Game mats are great too. I have the big one for 7th continent and it fits a lot of smaller stuff too. But you can order a custom 36 x 36 or whatever and upload your own image. It just keeps the table from getting scratched, makes it easier to slide pieces, and most importantly picking up cards is much easier.

I'm moving soon too! In a week from today, exactly. I'm moving off to an apartment for college. Because of this, I have an entire wishlist of household stuff that I'll need. It's the wishlist called "Stuff I Actually Need", which is full of cool and cheap household items someone will need when moving into their first place and also school supply stuff- just ignore the school supply stuff.


As for a specific item, you should get one of these shower curtains



Other notably awesome things I've found that you should get include:

• This classic tattoo potholder set
  
  
  
• This sexy classic tattoo duvet cover
  
  
  
• I love this somehow classy skull sheet set
  
  
  
• This awesome key holder or this equally-awesome one
  
  
  
• This bitchin pizza cutter
  
  
  
  
• This comic lover's doorstop
  
  
  
• Cheap, simple bowls
  
  
  
• Cheap, complete kitchen tools set
  
  
  And you're a pretty, pretty dame. I don't know what to link for myself. Surprise me with whatever you think is cool. Thanks for the contest and food luck with your new place!

I’ll join in on the Le Creuset love. I have a dutch oven and a couple braisers that I use as sauté pans, and they are fabulous. Not mentioned here, I also have some Le Creuset serving dishes (specifically the pasta bowls) which I absolutely adore eating out of. The wide shallow format makes some really nice presentations.

One I haven’t seen mentioned is Fiesta Ware. Mostly they are known for tableware, but a few years ago I got my hands on their trio of large baking bowls. They are super duper heavy stoneware that range from large, to larger, to ginormous. The ginormous one is great for really big batches of mashed potatoes, or a double batch of muffins, or any similar item which has a tendency to overflow when mixed. I bought these bowls to replace some older, cheap ones that broke, and the Fiesta set is on my list of “would replace immediately” items if something happened to them. Although I’m pretty sure they are indestructible.

Roku: I have two and use them everyday. They are how I get all my movies/tv. Both of mine have the usb port on the side so I can watch the things that are on my external hd.

Silicone bowl covers: These are freaking magic, I'll never have to deal with hateful saran wrap again! They also can go in the oven, but I haven't tried that yet.

Nail Tek: I have flimsy nails that peel and break, this lets my nails grow without breaking.

Hunter desk fan: Quiet, beautiful, BFIL quality, and powerful. When I say powerful I mean it, like it will blow on me and I'll go to turn it down and it's already on the lowest setting. But that's not really a negative. I used this fan all last summer it worked perfectly.

Salux: I love my salux, dries quickly, never smells bad, and makes my skin glow. I've even gotten the boyface and his family using them.

My favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast. I identify with Belle, I love the story, and the scenery is beautiful! Oh and not to mention the awesome freaking sound track. I love it. Second place is tied between Mulan and Aladdin. Third place Lion King because I watched it hundreds of times as a kid.

[link for you] (Wooden Rice Miso Soup Bowl #5251 by JapanBargain http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042IY7LY/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_lImmtb08XV0PA) not sure if you like Asian food, but this bowl is cute and would be useful in any kitchen!

See ya real soon!

Train everyone to always put the lid down on the toilet.

Install an automatic closer
https://youtu.be/LWd0oHNI5Co

And put a sticker on the underside of the lid or seat that says “close the lid so stuff can’t fall in”

And then get some opaque “Tupperware” type food storage containers to store things in
Vremi Silicone Food Storage Containers with BPA Free Airtight Plastic Lids - Set of 4 Small and Large Collapsible Meal Prep Container for Kitchen or Kids Lunch Boxes - Microwave and Freezer Safe https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071JVT2HC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3UHuDb3CZPMD7

Square floral containers that look like a useful shape

Corelle makes them in metal

If you get them in the same design, or in the same color, it will look calm.

You could go with white, and then you could use different designs or items (a bread box for bandages and
a pitcher for combs and a salt box for dental care, etc)

Marie Kondo would have you get clear or frosted so you can see what’s in them. Those would be easier to find.

I keep my wound-care stuff in one, tooth care stuff in another, etc.

Get ones that are identical or coordinating so they look calmer

And then you can wipe the shelf easily because you can just pick up the container.

For Eldritch Horror, it's been a great pleasure to swap the sanity/stamina counters for red and blue d8s. It was also great to upgrade the d6s to 16mm dice - they roll better and feel heftier than the 12mms the game came with.

I also like these pinch bowls for miscellaneous components: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00080FPZM


Also: foam core inserts are great for making the experience better organized and help make the set up faster!

I love the silicone ones. I have a set: https://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Silicone-Mini-Pinch-Bowls/dp/B00080FPZM/ref=sr_1_8?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1549316963&sr=1-8&keywords=pinch+bowl

​

I also have a set of glass dishes like these: https://www.amazon.com/Maredash-Kitchen-Stackable-Dishware-Combination/dp/B07DVHDBMX/ref=sr_1_25?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1549316963&sr=1-25&keywords=pinch+bowl

​

And some crockery ones like these that are really nice and opaque (when that is important): https://www.amazon.com/Now-Designs-Terracotta-Pinch-Bowls/dp/B06XS1B6SS/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1549316963&sr=1-5&keywords=pinch+bowl

​

You can also do those in plastic: https://www.amazon.com/Oggi-Melamine-6-Piece-Assorted-Colors/dp/B001U24ESQ/ref=sr_1_7?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1549316963&sr=1-7&keywords=pinch+bowl

​

I'd recommend the silicone ones, but only if you can get big enough ones. Otherwise it can get frustrating not having enough. I think for the bang for the buck, the glass ones above are the best balance of cost, size, ease of use (and non-game utility), cleanup (if needed), and stackability. :) If silicone were cheaper and larger, they'd be my fave.

​

For the hubster who loves his rice :) [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Japanese-soup-rice-bowl-Lid/dp/B001RJYCWA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=SZWC3L57O629&coliid=I1Y8TRELGEN77E)

For me: [this] (http://www.amazon.com/China-Glaze-80932-862-Something/dp/B0032K5L5O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1DCYF93YCUU24&coliid=I1EQNE8IYHO6IN) hopefully works :/

Edit: I changed them, I hope these are better. The top one says free shipping and the second should be below 5 with shipping. Again I'm so sorry :(

Also, Here, Kitty kitty! Thanks so much, this is so neat!! :)

I am tired of waiting so I'll make a budget matcha set for you:

[Rice Bowl $7.6] (http://www.amazon.com/Smiling-Blue-Porcelain-Rice-Bowl/dp/B0042J0R7Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412653136&sr=8-2&keywords=rice+bowl) you can find this cheaper, but I'll post this for convience. while a proper chawan has a wider base that is better for whisking the matcha, this type of bowl could work. Generally chawans are $20 and up.

[Bamboo whisk$11.88] (http://www.amazon.com/1x-BambooMN-Brand-Chashaku-preparing/dp/B003VSEG7Q/ref=sr_1_3?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1412653207&sr=1-3&keywords=matcha+bowl) (+ Chashaku & spoon) you can find cheaper whisks for around $5 or more expensive ones from Japan that generally are of a better quality. Some people use milk frothers or normal cooking whisks, both can be used, but won't be as effective.

Right now we are at $19.48, the cheapest matcha at o-cha is the [Uji Organic Matcha] (http://www.o-cha.com/uji-organic-matcha.html) for $10.56, slightly more expensive and in my oponion a more friendly matcha is the [Uji Matcha Kiri No Mori] (http://www.o-cha.com/uji-matcha-kiri.html) at $12.74. If this is your first time making matcha, I wouldn't recommending purchasing anything over $15 there.


Bonus accessories that are useful, but not necessary is the [Matcha Sifter for $14.56] (http://www.o-cha.com/matcha-furui.html) and the [bamboo whisk stand] (http://www.o-cha.com/matcha-whisk-keeper.html) for $4.73.

Also if you want to practice your whisking skills I reccomend getting a powdered green tea [like Teavivre's] (http://www.teavivre.com/organic-green-tea-powder/).

The best way to use Hornady One Shot, assuming that's what you're using, is as follows:

• Put a bunch of cases in a large plastic mixing bowl, but not so many they're stacking on top of each other.
  
  
• Spray lightly across the assembled cases, as though you're applying sunscreen to someone's back. Not so thin that you miss spots, but not so thick that you're greasing them like a pig.
  
  
• Put a lid on that mixing bowl and then move it like you'd move your hips with a hula hoop so that the cases all roll around the edge of the bowl together.
  
  This makes sure that the cases are evenly coated and there are no spots that are missed when you spray the cases, because you're rolling them around together to spread it out nicely. I had issues with stuck cases using one shot when I tried rolling them on a damp paper towel or when I tried to just rub it on them by hand. I've never had a stuck case since I started rolling them all over in my mixing bowl since they get case lube everywhere that way.
  
  Something like the largest bowl from this set is a good approximation of what I use. It lets me lube about 40 cases at a time without overlapping them, and the whole process of lubing the 40 cases takes under a minute (dump them in, spray, roll them around the edge, dump them out).

For my first bento, I made a sandwich, haha. I also filled in the gaps with baby carrots, saltine crackers, and a little bit of cream cheese to eat with the crackers.

I don't know if it's a concern to you, but rather than using disposable cupcake liners, you could go green (and save money) with silicone containers. :) I used these for my cream cheese and other little side dishes, but I also use silicone cupcake liners, which come in different shapes and colors (you could get the round ones, but there are ones of other shapes, like squares and hearts).

Your little fruit cup looks appetizing. :)

“Anyone who can only think of one way to spell a word obviously lacks imagination.”
― Mark Twain

here is an item but to be honest I don't mind if you pick anything from my wish list :-D

Thanks for the contest

I would want something with equivalent dimensions to this except I'd want it to be ribbed so that the "spines" go from the bottom to the top, not around the bowl. Ideally, the ribbing would be such that it's ribbed on the inside and out (should make it easier right?) for additional grip as well as a handle. if you could choose a glaze for the outside that was slightly gritty so that it'd grip better, that'd be awesome.

I picked up one of these "Japanese Washing Bottom Drainers" rice strainers on the cheap and it is DEFINITELY worth the coin to strain rice and quinoa. It's not metal so you won't run the risk of chipping away at the hulls of the grain if you get playful with the washing.

No affiliate link above, just good vibes for good grains :)

Did a quick search on the web and found this on Amazon for only $6: http://www.amazon.com/French-Single-Serving-Ceramic-Two-Tone-Two-eared/dp/B000I4MGI2/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt

The reviews say it's too small but it does look good and should work well for those who want to bowl lather.

You can pretty much lather with anything from an onion soup bowl to even a coffee mug. It's all about what works well for you.

Rinse the rice first, that will help with the brown. You can buy a strainer bowl that helps with this, I'll find a link.

Try using 2/3 rice to 1 water. (More water) that should help with coming out dry.

Best of luck.

This is not a recipe suggestion as much as a tip. Get squeezy bottles for:

• Oil, peanut or some high temp oil
  
• Broth
  
• Soy sauce
  
• Fish sauce [edit: just saw the seafood]
  
• Sesame Oil
  
• Sriracha
  
  Also the little Soy Sauce Dishes for:
  
  
• Ginger paste
  
• Garlic
  
• green onion tops
  
• green onion bottoms
  
• sugar
  
• msg (or broth powder or ignore if you hate msg)
  
• cornstarch
  
• touchi
  
• XO sauce [contains seafood]
  
  Finally, do not buy the products I mentioned through the links I supplied. Go to your local chinatown. It will have all these products and cost less.
  
  Other accessories: a gas burner, you can get a portable one at 10$. A wok ladle. and a spider.
  
  As for recipes... er... popcorn? ;)
  
  Stir fries are great, but once you start making your own fried rice you'll look forward to converting ALL leftovers into carby goodness.
  
  Enjoy and don't hesitate to ask us questions!

I use these two sizes of bowls to hold componants while playing. They make picking thigs up easy, keep everything neatly in place/sorted, and look really nice! They stack up for storage as well.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000E5XJHC/ref=oh_aui_i_sh_in_o1_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000MVJZ2G/ref=oh_aui_i_sh_in_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

10 of each (one small set one large set) has been exactly right for every game we’ve played.... even Keyper, which has a LOT of componants (literally 8 different animeeples!)

Edited for spelling corrections.

GET TO SLEEP! Actually I need to sleep too. XD

These little pinch bowls will help a lot with prep in cooking in my new apartment. :)

I bought this little bowl, it seems like just the perfect size for bowl lathering. Also it is pretty cheap!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RJYCWA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These owl salt and pepper shakers look really sweet and fit the HP theme. I also really like this soup cauldron.

Lastly, you can't go wring with a Gryffindor banner

Here is one more thing that can help clean up and setup. Silicone condiment cups. These are great for keeping things tidy during a game. When finished with game just pick up the cup and pour into the ziplock bag.


https://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Silicone-Pinch-Bowls-Piece/dp/B00080FPZM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487348874&sr=8-1&keywords=silicone+condiment+cups

Small glass bowls. Work better than silicon cupcake cups since they're transparent. Also are better for the environment than plastic containers :)

https://www.amazon.com/Maredash-Kitchen-Stackable-Dishware-Combination/dp/B07DVHDBMX/ref=sr_1_12?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1549788669&sr=1-12&refinements=p_n_material_browse%3A366825011

I regularly use this silicone cookware in the oven or microwave:

• Mini Cake Cups -- "smooth" edge cupcake liners, but things pop out easily
  
• 6-cavity mini-cake molds
  
• 3-cavity mini-cake molds
  
• Baking mat
  
• Microwave turntable mat
  
• Several sizes of cupcake liners, with the "folded" edges (I barely use these any more)
  
  For microwave cookware, I regularly use:
  
  
• Sistema 28-ounce "Breakfast" bowl
  
• Sistema 32-ounce "Noodle" bowl -- I use this almost daily
  
• Sistema 30-ounce "collection" plate and steamer
  
• Progressive Collapsible mini-colander and steamer
  
• Progressive egg cooker -- four soft-boiled eggs in 2 minutes
  
  I do a lot of microwave cooking. :)
  
  I use that "Noodle" bowl for egg drop and "dump" soups, "leftovers" chili, omelets, "custard in a bowl" (microwaved cream cheese pancakes), "Spanish" fried rice or Cabbage Alfredo, frozen meatballs + Rao's marinara + Italian blend cheese, sausage with peppers and onions, and heating up of any frozen veggies with butter and spices. 
  
  It's also a great mixing bowl for the small mixes I do. I usually sift together all my dry ingredients in the bowl, do all of my wet ingredients in the Magic Bullet, then pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and fold together with a large silicone spatula. Nothing sticks to the bowl, so it's so easy to mix things in the bowl AND dump everything out.
  
  For example, using my Magic Bullet, the Noodle Bowl, and the 3-well and 6-well molds, I used Ke-Dough to make these buns.

Yeah I actually like the green one!

NINJA EDIT: Actually I am gonna buy bought these because Amazon. :)

Ive gotten perfect rice every time with this. Another thing that helped out was getting a rice washing bowl super cheap and doubles as a vessel to defrost things under running water since it drains slowly.

I was recently given this and it has been amazing. Pretty roomy, and the dressing cup fits right in the lid. I use my own metal fork though.

I have this one it is awesome and cheap I highly recommend

Inomata Japanese Rice Washing Bowl with Side and Bottom Drainers, Clear

The holes are small enough that it will fill up without using a second bowl and let you swirl then it drains.

I highly recommend these pinch prep bowls
https://www.amazon.com/Greenbrier-Mini-Pinch-Prep-Bowls/dp/B00M6GBK0K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1495026085&sr=8-2&keywords=pinch+prep+bowls

They hold around 1/2 cup, are great for cooking prep, and make food servings appear much bigger.

When we eat rice with chopsticks, the rice is placed into a small bowl where we can scoop it up.

Something like this

And in bowls like this or this or this or even this

Here is something from my wish list. I just want to be able to seperate all of my small ingredients into these pinch bowls so that when I can cooking I can be, How easy was that?!

I found some options on Amazon in case you're not near a Daiso.

Daiso Maneki Neko Lucky Cat Rice Bowl Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IQX9Z3Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NTMoybB755SJV

Smiling Pink Cat Porcelain Noodle Bowl 7-1/4in by JapanBargain https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013S20Z1A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vUMoybB7R3XE1

here's what i do... i find a dish that's low enough and wide enough for me to fill mostly with glitter w/o overflowing when i stick my finger in it. for reference, i usually use these little silicone mise en place dishes i got for christmas. :)

then i dip my basecoated fingernail in glitter and instantly brush off any that's on my skin back into the dish; after waiting a few minutes for the polish to set w/ the glitter, i brush the excess from the nail back into the dish, too. a few gentle pats with the flat of my brush nixes standing pieces and also helps settle the glitter firmly. after it's dried really well, i brush it again more vigorously -- i HATE when i get glitter in my topcoat lol -- to make sure every loose piece is off. then i put a thick layer of glitter food followed by a thick layer of topcoat.

The walls of the mug are important, they are what keep the lather from falling out of the mug when you are whipping your brush back and forth. In general a good mug needs two things, it needs to be wide enough that you can work your brush back and forth and it needs to be deep enough that you aren't flinging lather everywhere.

If you are looking for something cheap to pour your soap into, small japanese rice/soup bowls are a pretty decent choice.

I got one of those rice washing bowls from amazon a couple years ago and it really was a game changer for me. I just put the rice in and rinse it for 30 seconds or so, drain out the excess water and dump it in a rice cooker. So easy and the rice comes out amazing every time. I could never go back to instant rice at this point

The trick to sticky rice, not sushi rice, is to wash it really well, until the water runs clear. I use a big bowl and a rice strainer since in my sink it's hard to tell when it's clear enough. Then let it soak in water for 30 minutes. After that dump the water and put it in a pot. Add about 1/2 inch more water than rice to the pot. Then turn the burner on high with a lid covering the pot. Cook on high for about 15-20 minutes. You will most likely burn it on the bottom the first few times but you'll get the hang of it and your stove/pots. Be sure to use a wooden/ soft plastic spoon to scoop the rice so it doesn't break.

Sushi rice is the same but with more steps/ingredients after the rice is done.

I am wanting to make sushi and to make good sticky rice i guess you need to wash and rinse the rice..

I put my SSS in these little rubber bowls then just put my whole ear in it. I got mine at Publix but you can probably find them anywhere. They do a better job at suctioning to my ear than dixie cups!

As discussed in the manual for this rice cooker, you only need to wash unpolished white rice. This is because the dehusking process that removes the husk and the bran leaves behind some of both and washing removes these. Polished white rice is already washed for you, and brown, black or wild rice do not need it because their husk and bran have not been removed.

That said, I recommend this washing bowl.

I use this, super cheap and great for rice and quinoa.

Actually it's the other way around. Stone/earthenware is an excellent tool for dispersing heat evenly. It's why people cook pizzas in brick ovens and on pizza stones. It's the same as a ceramic baking dish (or say, French onion soup crocks), which are quite common.

They're made by Daiso Japan, by the way, and they seem to show up on eBay a good bit, or https://www.amazon.com/Daiso-Maneki-Neko-Lucky-Rice/dp/B00IQX9Z3Q amazon.

I know it's kind of a specialized tool but they make strainers specifically for rice. They drain slow so you can see how clear the water is. The holes are small so no rice gets through. And it has a strainer/spout to pour off excess water.

You can use it as a normal colander too so it's not just sitting there for nothing.

I really like the small glass mini prep bowls. We have 8 of them and use them all the time. You can’t get 4 of them for under $7.

So you're saying that it should fit in one of these bowls for microwaving then, right?

Like, I would write one paragraph and then move to another paragraph without reading what I had already written. And I think I got distracted a few times too.

Anyways, lul, yes, you do need water. It really makes it foolproof though. You get a measuring cup, and then there is a ruler on the inside of the cooking container which shows exactly how much water you need to add for X cups of uncooked rice of various types. You are expected to wash the rice thoroughly too. I use this.

I haven't had mine for long, but I wouldn't be surprised given its relative simplicity and apparent high build quality for it to last a decade. I imagine this brand is as well-known as it is because it is extremely reliable.

I ordered these small bowls and I think they work really well. I just throw them in my game bag in case we need them.

Get one of these bad boys, they're PERFECT for big salads and separating ingredients so they don't get soggy!

I use the IP to make short-grain rice and I did it fine on the first try. Note that if you must eat very fresh tasting rice it still won't be good enough but if you can deal with Asian restaurant rice (the ones that are at last halfway genuine anyway) it should be comparable.

The problem is that i'm using specialized equipment so honestly I don't know how the results would be otherwise.

Scoop 2 cups of rice with the rice cup (if you don't know what this is use a teacup I guess...) and then place it in a bowl to wash it. Run water from the tap on your rice and mix it up with your hands for five to ten seconds, drain the water, then repeat this washing process three to five times.

If we were in my kitchen at this point we would move the rice to the additional stainless pot I linked above but if you don't have one either use any stainless steel bowl large enough to contain the rice or an oven-safe glass bowl. Place 2 cups of purified water specifically from the same cup you used to scoop the rice.

Then after covering that bowl with a lid safe for the IP or with aluminum foil, place the minimum amount of water inside the main pot, a trivet inside of the same pot (if using items not designed for the IP bring the trivet that came with the appliance) and then put the pot/bowl that contains the rice inside of the main stainless pot that comes with every Instant Pot.

This is the Pot-in-Pot method which I use for most situations I use the IP. Essentially because the water that is necessary for the pot to come to pressure is separate from the water used for the rice they will not interfere with each other, the rice won't absorb the water meant to be for keeping the pot under pressure nor will you have to add more water than necessary in order to retain enough of it to keep the IP functioning properly.

Close the IP and then use the rice setting for 12 minutes (assuming quantities are the same, I unfortunately don't know what to tell you for larger or smaller ones) and after it's done let it natural release for at least 10 minutes before releasing the rest of the pressure. This is important because if you do it too soon the rice won't have absorbed enough of the water. Once you take the bowl out it should be ready to serve and can be refrigerated and reheated without losing too much quality.

I think the IP has some kind of automatic sensor for how long it's supposed to cook your rice but honestly I have no clue as to when it wants to or doesn't nor do I know how it even guesses. I only know the necessary steps for making how much rice I personally eat in one day unfortunately as a result.

I've found some japanese rice bowls on Amazon in case people want to see pictures from different angles this is my favorite

I use a microwave soup bowl I bought off Amazon. The price has doubled since I originally bought it though.

These are my favorite bowls for small prep stuff. I also have a pile of ramekins I use for anything and everything.

Generally what they do is they have these small glass prep bowls that they pre-measure the ingredients in to for making these videos so they can just slap shit together quickly and still have it look good.

I think you'll get a lot of waste from an eyedropper. When I made my lip tar lipsticks, I mixed lip tar and a tube of Burt's Bees in a microwavable pinch bowl (which I already had in my kitchen because they're so damn useful!), nuked it for a few seconds, mixed with a chopstick and then poured directly back into the Burt's Bees tube. The pinchiness of the bowl made pouring easy with almost no waste (I scraped up a little with the chopstick).
