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

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 40 points 12 hours ago (4 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 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yes but what about 180 Kelvin?

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 12 hours 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?

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 5 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 12 hours ago

but then I remembered that Fahrenheit exists...

Bummer, man! 😔

[–] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 12 hours 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.

[–] markz@suppo.fi 2 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] Velypso@sh.itjust.works 13 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

It heats up water.

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

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

The British would like a word...

[–] markz@suppo.fi 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Not lifechanging because they're all born with one.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] potatoguy@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 10 hours ago

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.

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 👩‍🍳💋

[–] fascicle@leminal.space 2 points 11 hours 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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 12 hours 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 1 points 7 hours ago

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