depends on the type of rice cooker- steamed rice is far superior to boiled. A rice cooker that simply boils the rice is worthless, but a proper steamer with matching rice container is a necessity if you want decent rice. I agree with most everything else listed in this thread though, garlic presses especially. If you make fresh pasta a couple of times a week, a pasta roller is useful but for those of us who only make it it 3-4 times a year it's just clutter.

Why boil water, pure it in a tea cup and tea bag it 'til your wrist hurts when you got ice tea, amiright?

I never understood beer bottle openers. In 2013 90 percent of beers are twist off. if they are not you can literately use ANY SMALL HARD OBJECT to open them easily.

Really? The best labels here are usually pop off ones. I used to show off by taking them off with my teeth, but then I got told off and that my teeth would crack so I stopped.

I was seriously thinking of getting a rice cooker, thank you for helping me to make up my mind in not choosing one. :) That kinda reminds me as a kid, my grandparents had a pressure cooker to save time in making rice, but the thing was it had to cool down or it would explode rice all over the walls. So you still waste all the time you saved in cooking it to let it cool down, basically no difference time-wise. (Fast forward in time to the present) my little nephew insist in calling a pressure cooker a "bomb." I try to tell him it is not a "bomb" it's just ordinary cookware.

Pressure cookers are necessary though for making stews and chilis. I wouldn't get rid of those. Making rice takes no time at all though. Like FD mentioned earlier just stick to the 2 to 1 formula or 1 to 1 if you buy parboiled rice.

What the **** a garlic press? I have never seen this retard invention.

Along with garlic press. I had this dicer thing that's similar to it but I used to use it for dicing tomatoes and onions but it was such a pain in the butt to clean and I ordered it from one of those infomercials. I'm like wtf. This is supposed to be an innovation not require more work. Sod off!

yeah.....no. Bottle openers are still necessary but I just have one just in case. I might need it one day for some Mc Guiver shit while you end up dying because you didn't have one and couldn't save your life because of it.

I love those jars of minced garlic. I'm willing to pay extra to have someone do it for me.

I agree. I just opt for microwave bags. I'm lazy at times.

This one I do understand though. Because mostly, only American beers are twist off. Not sure how far this has spread, but other countries could be in dire need of church keys (that's what we call beer bottle openers down here), or new cabinet counters.

In the states, yes, most is twist off. But there are imports. So if you value your lighter, or your ****ty kitchen counter laminate, a church key is handy.

There are obviously other ways to go about it, but since most people have a church key that also doubles as a can puncture (which is weird, because I don't know many people this side of 1980 that still puncture cans of evaporated milk and sh*t like that), it seems to be a common enough item to utilize rather than some other makeshift item that's really doing the same job for no more value in terms of wear resistance.

All micro brews are bottle opened. I use a lighter, works great.

punx

I did that until I broke off a piece of the bottle rim and cut the inside of my mouth. Luckily I was already wasted so it didn't really hurt, but my friend's roommate was training to be a nurse and he stuck his hand in my mouth and pressed a cottonball against the cut. Was weird.

That's far too easy so I'm gonna leave that alone, but I just wanna let you know that you left yourself open.
