Error! Keeping an electric kettle going all day uses electricity. A friend
used to keep her coffeemaker going all day until she discovered that it
accounted for a huge percentage of their electric bill.

OTOH, we don't know what the original poster wanted the water for. Maybe he
DOES use it all day.

[ ... ]

Are there any pressure cookers with built-in elements? That
would do it.

As for the OP needing a way to cook smaller portions, try
cooking the rice in a microwave. As long as the proportion
of water to rice is correct, it should work fine. Just be
carefull when removing any cover you have on it to avoid
steam burns.

It was my error, actually. I wasn't clear. If you have an electric pot
boiling water all day it's GOT to add quite a bit to your electric bill. The
instant-on water heater thingy only uses electricity when you're actually
taking water from it. Clearly much cheaper. OTOH, since I don't know what the
original poster wanted to do with his hot water device, the always-on pot might
make sense. Or not.

The main reason I became Pagan was there were a growing number of the
people in the local church that were stopping by my gas station (where
I was working) and telling me when they weren't telling me I was going
to Hell that if we didn't turn the world to a smoking ember before
th4e Second Coming, that is if there were any natural resources we
hadn't used, that God would be pissed we hadn't used all of His gifts
to us and nobody would go to Heaven.

I'm not sure what you would call this theology (batshit insane
consumptionist?), but I could find nothing in either my KJ or NSV
Bibles that had anything to correlate to it. I heard it pretty
frequently during the 1990s, not as much lately but there are still a
large number of them out there.

Wow, amazing argument. Never heard of it but many seem to practice it.

I know SOMETHING is blocking us from grasping the importance of
PREVENTION by assuming personal instead of waiting for Jesus.

One Christian that came to my house went berserk when the possibility
of Climate Change came up. They probably think it's all a conspiracy.

This Truth will not make you "loved" by the Christians or most other
believers, but it will probably make you "free." From this we can
probably gather why Christians go berserk upon mention of Climate
Change and PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, such as riding a bike...

'I was raised a christian and confirmed a Catholic. I have read the
bible from cover to cover, unlike so many others who refer to the
bible as truth and "gospel" despite never doing the same; and, despite
their not knowing who (more than one person) wrote all these fables it
contains. I have been told all these years to respect all religions,
despite no respect ever being given my beliefs. The truth is that it
is impossible to respect more than one religion, if any at all,
because each religion inherently states it is the one true religion;
which is inherently disrespectful to all others. The truth is
religion is nothing more than a collective bunch of rules and customs
manifesting a philosophical belief shared by a group of people. That
said, I proscribe to the philosophy of "reality." Reality being truth
as humanly possible to be perceived and discovered.

The truth is religion retards science. Religion slows and many times
stalls and even reverses science and progress. Call it fear,
ignorance or the refusal to give up the power a particular religion
holds in world politics, social class, and society in general,
religion does its best, by its very nature, to keep us all in the
dark; to keep us from discovering the truth.'

No, it's not another deep quotation of mine, where I use the jungle as
a metaphor, just an assessment of the war in Afghanistan.

Where are is that "simplicity, critical thinking and productive labor"
put to work in our society? Around here they have made A WASTEFUL

bikes on our roads... Talk about SIMPLICITY and all the other stuff.

No wonder the war in Afghanistan is going down the drain as corruption

I believe "Batshit Insane" is the technical name for most doG-based
theologies. The "consumptionist" is one type, and there are, unfortunately,
many others.

Never thought of that, what are safe temperatures to keep at? Can you
keep rice refrigerated?

I ask that because I have been thinking of eating more rice and the
cookers all make more rice than I would eat at a meal.

For the OP. These devices are dead simple. You can take them apart
easily and disconnect the warming. There ain't much in there.

Below 40 and above 140 :)

You can refrigerate it. Just make sure you don't shove it in the
fridge in one huge lump, or the center won't cool down fast enough. If
you have a fairly full rice cooker bowl, then dish part of it out so
that it isn't too deep. Or give it a really good stir after an hour.

I usually make a full rice cooker amount and then refrigerate the
leftovers for casseroles or whatever. I also let it warm for a lot
longer as I prefer less sticky rice. I don't like it when it first
says it is ready.

I've owned two different bread machines, both from yard sales,
both in excellent condition when I got them (one was a surplus wedding
present and taken out of the box). I passed one along to a friend
next door and still occasionally use the other. They both work,
sorta, if you make only white bread, or if you don't mind taking the
w.w. dough out of the machine after the first rise and baking the loaf
in the oven.
Good bread is ridiculously expensive here in central NC.$5 and $6
a loaf and I'm not going to pay that. Does anyone know if there's a
reasonably-priced machine that makes *good* 12-grain or whole wheat
bread from start to finish?
I really hope someone has information or suggestions for a small-
town gardener who would like tomato sandwiches make with our own our
tomatoes and homemade bread.
If I can't find a decent breadmaker, my nice crop of plum
tomatoes will have to be to vac-frozen soon. Thanks in advance, I
hope.

Having never used, let alone owned, a bread machine, I can't directly
respond to your question. But making bread using a food processor, or even
by hand, isn't that difficult, though I'll grant it isn't automatic.

I remember every bit of that. We were called "hippies" at the

Today if we were forced to escape to a small trailer and could

Like firewood , as it dries it is better. You just have to set it out in
the sun and wait, I can do that.
And of course you're going to say that I get better with age.
Like a fine cheese.
what else improves with time?

Wine, whiskey and many spirits. I had some 15 year old Heineken that had
sat in the basement. It had turned very dark, but it was a delight to drink.

Many woods develop color and character after decades. Many string
instruments improve vastly with old age.

Many building materials look better aged. Old brick has character.

Chiles and soups are often much better the second serving.

Many performers and people get better as they age. Experience and
knowledge.

Too many others for me to list as I feel like I'm getting old.

Beef gets better with age, assuming it is aged properly.
