The most useful machine in any home. You if don't have one, BUY one, and your life is going to change forever.

[–] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

And make sure to get one with different temperature settings, not just boil.

Being able to do 180° exactly instead of just guessing has been a game changer for white tea.

[–] Micromot@piefed.social 59 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I was about to say that water can't reach 180°C at normal conditions but then I remembered that Fahrenheit exists...

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes but what about 180 Kelvin?

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Then you'd have a little freezer I think. Isn't the freezing point of water (at normal atmosphere) approx. 274 K?

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Now I'm having thermodynamics flashbacks. It's just under 500 rankine I think? Been a few years since I even thought about that unit

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Something like that. Stupid unit to even teach/learn about

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 days ago

but then I remembered that Fahrenheit exists...

Bummer, man! 😔

[–] markz@suppo.fi 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

You can superheat water, but probably not that much at home.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You can superheat water under high pressure.

[–] markz@suppo.fi 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Difficult with home equipment

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It is with that attitude.

[–] Micromot@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago

That's what the normal conditions were about, I think it needs quite a bit of effort to do that at home

[–] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago

I actually looked for one in °C but the only ones I found had big stupid display screens. I just wanted one with 5-6 simple presets without adding unnecessary points of failure.

To be fair, I didn't look that hard though. I wasn't willing to spend that much time and the place I order my tea from labels all the recommended temps in °F anyway.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

I would make the same argument for the air fryer, rice cooker and pressure cooker/insta pot. I use each one at least once a week for so many things. Like, I just came across a vegetarian burrito recipe that I meal prep with the insta and rice cooker, and when I defrost in the microwave and then reheat in the air fryer 👩‍🍳💋

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I finally got an air fryer just to see what all the hype was about, and although it does a nice job on some things, it's not really any faster and it makes the whole house reek because it's blowing air continuously, which I should have expected, but eww. Plus I can make way more fries on a baking sheet. I don't really get it.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

It heats faster, cooks faster (unless you have a convection oven) and doesn't heat the whole kitchen/house. The oven is great for quantity, but the air fryer is quicker and tends to get stuff crispier.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is the rice cooker that much better than the pressure cooker? Mine has a rice button, makes perfect rice every time

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I think so. Even though the product is basically the same, the rice cooker insert is much easier to clean up and I can run them both at the same time when cooking. Having hot food and rice (without having to cook it myself) stretches meals and doesn't take tons of extra effort

[–] fascicle@leminal.space 2 points 5 days ago

I have a airfryer/ dual oven counter top that ibuse pretty much for every meal, I always just toss some veggies like potatoes, carrots, squash, broccoli, etc on the top oven and some protein in the bottom oven and it has a mode so they finish at the same time.

For rice i just use the kettle to heat up the water while I rinse out my rice in a strainer, then pour the water in a pot and toss in the rice, once the water boils I turn it down to low, put the lid on, and set a timer for 18 minutes.

We had a insta pot before and used it regularly then one day it just starts smoking and died, luckily I happened to be next to it washing dishes when it happened so I was able to pull the plug on it quick

[–] Velypso@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 days ago (4 children)

It heats up water.

It's useful, but to say it is a life changing is pretty silly.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 35 points 5 days ago

Sounds like something someone who hasn't had a life changing water boiling event in their life would say.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The British would like a word...

[–] markz@suppo.fi 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not lifechanging because they're all born with one.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Legends say they have one in the womb with them, along with a couple boxes of Yorkshire Tea.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Darjeeling darling

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 7 points 5 days ago

Ireland actually drinks even more tea than capita than us, though that might be entirely due to Mrs Doyle.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I have mine set on a timer, fill it up with water before I go to bed, and when I wake up I can immediately make a hot broth breakfast. It's reduced my morning routine by 8 whole minutes! Life will never be the same.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh, reduced the time by 8 minutes.

I was wondering what sort of kettle you were using that was almost as slow as a stove. Mine takes under two minutes for 2 cups (0.5L), so it checks out.

Happy brewing!

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)
[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Aye, as God intended.

[–] potatoguy@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, it was hyperbole, but when I bought one, I felt a huge difference when cooking or making tea/coffee.

Want to cook some rice? Just put water in the electric kettle, prepare the rice and put it in the rice cooker, boom, put the already heated water in the rice cooker. It's a lot faster than putting a kettle on a stove, here's 220v, but it is different state to state.

For tea? Just put some water in the electric kettle and hear the click sound.

It changed my life, and changed a lot of peoples lives, because when I talk to my coworkers, all of them have the same opinion. It's just a time saver, but damn, an amazing time saver.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] potatoguy@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

not on the complex line

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

For 120v power grid systems these would boil water twice as slow. But still, the beat and most efficient way to do it.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Still something like half the time of a gas stove and a quarter that of a coil
