My boring life and how a rice cooker works

[Annabells117]

Thank you for explaining the rice cooker!

[bigbelly504]

Shes so cute

[kbr61]

I liked ur vid! Ur very pretty & ur cute in ur delivery! Thx!

[AlbertAldehyde]

Excuse me but you are extremely awesome because you eat heaps of rice, and also because I also eat heaps of rice.

Cool channel :)

Thanks! I just found a rice cooker at goodwill yesterday for $5. I use to cook rice on the stove in a pot, but I can't turn the fire down on my new stove low enough to steam rice. Soooo. I see this Brand new looking appliance for $5 bucks and wonder how it works. Thanks to you, now I know! PS. I have been cooking rice for 20 yrs and I don't know how I ever lived without one of these. Rice Cookers are WONDERFUL!

I just asked the dh-physics-person about how rice cookers know when to stop cooking by using their thermostats after watching your video, and learned a few more things:

What the thermostat (in that bottom disk) is measuring is actually the temperature of the bottom of the metal pan. When all the (free) water is gone (from evaporation, or being absorbed by the food), the temperature of the pan itself will rise above 212 F (100C)... and that's how the thermostat judges when the food is "done." :)

[bbroegger]

You learn something new everyday, today you were my teacher - i thank you very much =)

[darklordbiscuit]

This was a really good video. You should do some more "how stuff works" videos! (I've been toying with that idea myself.)

[RashtraVishnu]

water boils at 212 F when it goes up from there, then the rice cooker knows that your water has decreased. there is a type of electronic component called a thermister, which changes resistance based on temperature. so as soon as the temp increases it signals the cycle is over, and flips into the warm cycle. (sorry techno babble) you could build one of these from scratch but it would look like a frank en stein contraption. Thanks for your video post!

[martineric1966]

hahahahahaha, you know i was just asking myself the same questions, like your accent,, great clip.

[whotusay750]

I,m very impressed that a girl can be such a deep thinker , a pretty too , nuff respect :)

[AllaMinaVenner]

xD You took an advice from Edward? xD To show how a rice cooker works seems so like him, although he doesnt have one x)

[Strivets]

I always put my hand flat on the rice then fill with water till my fingers are covered.

But now I'll use a cup !

Nice one !

[7777Ralph]

Nice vid. I thought it stopped when monitoring the amount of steam coming out through the vent, although that might burn the rice if there wasn't enough water in there at the beginning. The thermostat makes more sence.

[EndsWithKissesxxx]

yay! rice is awesome!

[DJRICKYDEEUK]

I like Condalisa Rice lol

[hellokitty2007]

The Japanese ones are like a 100x better.

The American brands suck.

[detectiveconan996]

@hellokitty2007 Can anyone say "PROCESSED?"

[PaR4P]

thanks!

[lampforthepoor]

Thanks for that. One suggestion though, perhaps you could change the title to: 'Slow Self-Effacing Chatter' or 'Pointless Misconceptions about Rice Cookers'

It wasn't until 2:52 when you finally said the word 'thermostat' that the video became about how they work, nearly 2/3rds of the way through.

[bardo0007]

And I think you're a lovely woman , wish I could meet you for a bowl of rice some day.

[80z90zhousemami76]

lmao

[19brad74]

thanks,know i know

[metsfaninct]

Nice Job. Found you searching on how a rice cooker works.

[lilbarrie]

now i know how it works, what do u reccomend i put in it..?

i made bread yesterday.

[jockeyhanes]

u r adorable, greetings from the philippines!

[99e39540is]

I think you are adorable, and I could understand you just fine (I am from US). I bought my first rice cooker today, and made my first meal in it. It was great! Rice in the bottom, and salmon and veggies in the steamer.

[dorkturk]

thanks for your explanation

[Sarsington]

um yea but you need to have a steam basket in it. also make sure you keep an eye on it, the automatic turn off system doesn't work as well when you're steaming vegetables... my old rice cooker actually broke when we were steaming cauliflower and sort of forgot about it yea...

[Sarsington]

haha who me?

[Emudesc]

LOL this is wat i was looking for! 5 stars!

[frumpyframpton]

This was interesting. I would have gone with your mum on the humidity sensing bit, but seeing your old one I thought your idea was really clever. In the states we call the bits that regulate the air conditioning/heat/heat pump/etc... thermostats. The part where you set the temperature. Do you call them something else?

[collinlovas]

Thank you for the explanation on how a rice cooker works and for pointing out that the button-like device is a thermostat (yes, I found it difficult to understand your pronunciation of "thermostat," too). I always wondered what the rather large silver button was at the bottom of my electric pressure cooker (yes, that appliance apparently has a thermostat too). Now I know!

[illegalsmilereturns]

i think you are interesting and pretty plus a decent sense of haha. Thanks for the how to. dan

[millerbdm902]

lol your post are so simple yet mind blowing to watch

[urbanshogun]

So I bought a new rice cooker today...I used it...I wondered how it worked while making 2 cups of short grain brown rice...then I googled ricer cooker because I was bored...I found your blog...I watched it...I learned...I subscribed...rock on!

[fizshigol]

wow i've always wondered about the spring

[FinalFantasyTux]

I watched this video like 3 times before realizing you were saying Thermostat. I thought you were saying "mostat" and I'm like what the heck is that? But yeah, a THERmostat... quite like a thermometer, only a Thermometer only tells you temperature around it, while a Thermostat actually sets the temperature of the machinery it's working on :D

[Sarsington]

aha thanks yea sorry my speech isn't very clear i realise that now.

[retrodirrt]

Yeah. I'm American, and we don't pronounce it nearly like that.. so I was like "mosta what?" From me it's more like "Therm-oh-stat".. o_O; Yeah. Anyway.. nice vid. It kept my attention... ^.^; Oh, at 3:40am.. but still. xD

[jamblamb]

Haha I'm a kiwi and in new zealand it is also pronounced Thermo - stat. Sara just read it wrong

[1SECRETBILLY]

T-stats are common but are essentialin heating & cooling appliances, cars, etc..you showed us how !! thanks.

[Tinypuppies2]

[betojj503]

[Sarsington]

no problem glad to help!

[Explorer4x4]

lol, we don't even have a rice cooker..

[Sarsington]

haha o well.
