I know this was a week ago but you can actually add water and bicarb (baking soda) to a pot and let it boil for a while. Even the most charred on food lifts effortlessly
lol I’m Japanese and have never gotten rice cooked out of anything but a rice cooker. Burned pot after pot … followed every bit of advice ever, been laughed at my whole life. Not once made rice come out right, unless I use a rice cooker. It’s ten bucks, they last forever, and it comes out perfect
Trust this guy
Not Japanese but I use to be in the mindset of "why the fuck would I wan't a rice cooker I'll just cook it in a pot"... it came out fine 2/3rds of the time but the other 1/3rd was either too mushy or a little under cooked. Bought a rice cooker and I've never been happier. Rice cooker cooks rice good, is cheap, and can steam vegetables too.
You have it figured out but actual answer is turn the heat down and don't go out to the movies while it simmers. Too high heat knocks starches around and steams off too fast, it needs to hydrate and cook.
I'm Japanese, too - was born and raised in Japan. Since I moved to the U.S., though, I've never owned a rice cooker. I've been using a pot and it comes out fine.
I don't eat/cook rice often, so using a pot hasn't been inconvenient enough for me to buy a rice cooker.
I don't want to sound rude, but how can you even cook if you can't cook rice without a rice cooker? I cook rice a few times a week, I never follow any sort of recipe, rules for heat or anything at all and maybe messed up one or two times in ten years. Of course rice gets burned if you cook it on max heat, other than that it's no magic
It’s so much worse than you think. I was going for a method of rice, cooked in extra water. Your supposed to drain the water once the rice is cooked through, that’s how much extra water there is.
I just forgot to set a timer and adhd did the rest 💀
> I really *paid* the dish
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Yeah that’s what I told my boyfriend. Then he said “you need to get out of my house it’s been 3 years. If you don’t, I’ll call the police. You’ve already violated the restraining order.”
But yeah that was good caramelized rice.
Looks like an afro or just curly black hair in general.... almost looks like a head in a pot....What I really want to say will get removed. 
[удалено]
It’s the crunch.
The Persians call it tahdig
Don’t you dare besmirch the good name of our beloved national rice dish!
Fond! 🤣
Deglaze with Dr Pepper for a nice sauce
Dr pepper is always best served once it's hot.
I'm not too fond of this
I must say it's black,suitable with this modern trend (please my rice farmer ancestor is fuming rn)
Might wanna throw the whole pot away
Take a while but barkeeper's friend and a metal scrub will get it all clean eventually.
No lie. Barkeepers will clean anything
Yeah if they really put the work in it will clean the pan too!
Yeah it will but a lot of scrubbing to get that scorched rice aroma out of it. Op is lucky they didn't start a fire.
Barkeeper's Friend is amazing stuff. It's a good thing to have at the ready for just this kind of thing.

At least you cooked it all the way through 👍
If only I could do the same with poultry. I love it medium rare but my bf says that’s dangerous
I prefer rare myself, nice squishy chicken
Oh God, that must have made your house smell horrible!
Yeah 💀
Someone get OP a rice cooker stat!
No
Get a rice cooker son.

when you eat rice for 3 meals a day, a rice cooker is very much worth it
I use a steamer one to one ratio and less water if cooking rice for fried rice
Rice cooker takes place. So, if you eat rice 2-3 times per year (my case), it's better to use usual pot.
No
Just trying to help. Lol
Tee hee thanks
That’s not well done, that’s congratulations
My boyfriend loves this joke
IT’S SO GOOD
Wow. The whole beehive burnt to a crisp.
jesus christ..
Yes?
Rice crispy treat
On the bright side, now you have a Frisbee
Al dante
Straight to the inferno with me.
Were you at least *trying* to make tahdig or did you somehow just massacre rice?

gonna say, looks like some VERY well done tahdig (iranian? persian crunchy bottom fried rice)
"you heard of blackened chicken right? This is blackened rice"
That’s what I’m saying. It’s a known and respected dish.
Perfect sear. At least cut it open so we can see if you got a good Medium rare center.
Let me assure you, I did
RIP your cooking pot.
To some Asian countries that's a delicacy. Well maybe not as burnt and black as that, but have a look: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_rice
TIL that looks tasty
Wasted like a whole 10¢ there
Thank god for dirt cheap staples
Reminds me of some popcorn I made recently. It too was well done.
Pics? 😉😍
You can totally salvage that
My college student ass did 😭
Good God
I'm thankful for rice cookers
Forget about this one did ya? 😭
Omg i burnt my rice earlier today, too. Never cooking again
Mmm, tahdig, my favorite!
I really payed the dish respect I think

I’ll take one for the team Hand it over
Open wide big cat
You make me feel better about my rice cooking skills..
Scrolling through…thought this was a fucked up pecan pie
Somehow that’s flattering.
It’s just caramelized.
Yeah that’s what I told my boyfriend. Then he said “you need to get out of my house it’s been 3 years. If you don’t, I’ll call the police. You’ve already violated the restraining order.” But yeah that was good caramelized rice.
Don’t forget the flavor pouch!! Edit: Just realized that’s NOT ramen. Oops.
I need mine done a little longer.
i'm asian and i feel hurt looking at this.
Damn how can I pay reparations?
Looks like an afro or just curly black hair in general.... almost looks like a head in a pot....What I really want to say will get removed. 
I'm sure it's a delicacy in some countries. Package and sell it on Ebay for ez profit.
Served as a side of blackened chicken
Socarrat went hard this time.
That’s a hot ass rice cooker.
It’s a pot
Ha!!! Makes sense now. Does burnt rice smell like popcorn or crap?
How do you burn rice that bad?
Dangerous irresponsibility and negligence
Forbidden Rice.
oreo dessert
That's a good al dente, in the end.
Wow! What did you do to your rice cooker???
Cursed coffee beans.
Rip that pot
You fucking get what you deserve!!!
Mmm- perfect Tadik!
[*Unapologetic when we f#ck up some rice*](https://youtu.be/dzxi6m9XLMA?si=hiGV-MQp8BH3BNbV&t=1477)
Pegãooooooooooooomg ta quemão😂😂

Smoky
That's the Internet's fault
Crunchy! Yum!
Oof
Well done, but not done well.
Sure that smells great too 🤮
*Well it’s done*

It’s not burnt, it’s blackened.
charcoal rice krispie

Load save game

How in the hell does this even happen?!?
You sure it's well done look like you like it extra done I like my medium
*Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.*
D'oh!
Recipe?
Rice and water. Being to a simmer and cover. Let cook for like 2 hours or whatever until the smell alerts you to your terrible mistake.
Rice well fucked
No “oh my god” has parted my lips quicker. Y’all ain’t smell it? 😵💫
Nope, straight to jail
Oh, a homemade charcoal! Someone is making fancy BBQ tonight
Just needs to be hammered and lathed and you'll have a nice cast cymbal.
You may have stumbled into a product idea. “Organic Fuel Pucks” ( chafing dishes , wood stoves, etc. )
Or… Hockey anyone ??
Well done? More like congratulations!
That's a fossil m8
Cooking Satan, is that you?
Girl that ain't well done that's Satan's spawn tf
Don't let Uncle Roger know 😐
how to trigger asian people or rice lovers
It's halfway to being a diamond.
Pressure cooker to the rescue
How can I physically smell this photo???
With your imagination
That isn't well done, that's exceeding expectations
Charcoal for the grill
Impressive.
Just scrape off the black bits
Well, it is done.
electrifried rice
Rice (all done)
That’s not well done. That’s congratulations
Stealing that 😂
Bro, this rice is not well done it's congratulations
I was convinced it was just some black rice. And then I realized.
Oh nice, you splurged and got some quality black rice!
I can smell it
First rice that can say the n word
Is that a... bite mark?
r/eatityoufuckingcoward
Just how they like it in the DR
It’s weird that “well done” actually means “poorly done”.
I was like, "Whoa! Black rice, cool!" But then I was like, "Oh. Black rice. Cool."
Omggg lol
Not the kinda rice crispy you wanted but there the kinda rice crispy you deserve
To be fair, for life of me I can not cook rice
Wel you probably don’t want my advice
Well done⁉️ Bro, this is (congratulations)‼️ 😂😭🙈
